Design & Build

Designing custom options or systems into a machine tool is the best alternative to resolve certain process applications.

There are times when you may want to dramatically expand the functionality of your existing machine, or you may require a machine to accomplish a specific task that cannot be performed by an existing piece of equipment.

KRC will study your application and specifications and provide a formal quote, including steps to address, specifications, a rough design plan, and projected engineering and manufacturing investment requirements. 

Below are case histories from some of our past custom design projects which illustrate the production flexibility and design skill of our staff.
Design & Build - Mini Case History:

The Problem:
A big 3 automaker required a dedicated machine tool that could turn the O.D. of a single transmission part. The machine had to perform the operation at the rate of 198 parts/hr, with minimal manual intervention, and interface with existing input and output material handling systems.

The KRC Solution:
KRC remanufactured a twin spindle Ex-Cell-O lathe and integrated a KRC custom designed material handling system that interfaces in-house parts delivery systems and the remanufactured machine's dual internal chucks.
