We
are impressed! On Friday we placed an order for a pneumatic-held vice
and
it arrived on Monday. That would be an impressive delivery time even for Sydney
metro - let alone for a part which flew in from Michigan US.
MAXX
specialises in custom engineered and machined parts and tool holders.
If
you visit their website you won’t find much about the company (it’s almost an
underground operation!). However, they are very serious about quality and precision.
So
what is the benefit of a MAXX solution? We can now machine a part in our 5 axes
Kern mill and then transfer the same part holder to our Makino EDM to continue
with further operations. One part, one holder, two completely different
machines and machining processes - no loss in accuracy.
And
yes, the EDM clamp held in the MAXX vice was made in Brookvale, in our
workshop.
Good job apprentices!
