Top 10 Reasons Why Your Company Needs A CNC Router or Plasma Cutting System

1. Low Operating Costs...
Investment in a CNC router can help lower operating costs by providing better material yields, quicker part cycle time, and prevent employee cutting errors that waste expensive materials.
2. Shorter Lead Times...
CNC routers provide faster cut cycle time with precise information. Owners will know exactly how many minutes it will take to run a job on the CNC and allow them to plan better. These shorter lead times will increase invoicing and company cash flow.
3. Better Edge Finish...
A CNC router will precisely follow the geometry of the programmed part. The edge finish will be perfectly dimensioned and the geometry remains sharp and smooth.
4. Better Material Yields...
With a CNC, parts can be nested together to maximize the material usage. This lowers overhead cost by reducing the amount of material used, as well as labor that would otherwise be required to handle and cut excess material. In addition, if there is more scrap, the costs increase when having to dispose of unused materials.
5. Greater Accuracy...
A Techno CNC router has a repeatability of .001". This accuracy guarantees the part geometry and product fit will be perfect for every cut made. When shop owners buy their first CNC, they quickly realize their tape measure needs to be replaced with a pair of calipers because they are now measuring parts to the thousandths of an inch rather then a sixteenth markings on their tape measures.
6. Greater Flexibility...
The limitation of a Techno CNC Router is the imagination of the user. This new ability to create anything gives business owners new opportunities to produce products that could not be produced by hand and yield a profit. Techno customers range from cabinet makers, instrument manufacturers, sign makers, and display fabricators to name a few.

7. Business Expansion...
Increased cycle times and greater flexibility allows business owners to concentrate on company marketing, day-to-day sales quoting, and new programs to grow the business.
8. Increased Cycle Times...
CNC's move through material faster, more consistently, and more accurately. This reduces or eliminates secondary hand finishing. Increased cycle time yields larger profits.
9. Simplify Business Operations...
CNC Routers can take away the conventional approach of building a product. Imagine the process of cutting a 24" perfect circle by hand. First, a skilled laborer draws the circle; second, using a jig saw, they will cut outside the line; third, using a sander will sand excess material until the circle is complete. Dimensionally this will be off. Although there are other methods of producing a circle, they all involve a skilled labor creating and manipulating the workpiece and/or jigs. With a CNC router, a circle is drawn inside your CAD program and then this same program generates the toolpath for the machine to follow with basic instructions. Finally, it is executed on the router. This video shows the process.
10. Less Employee Conflict...
A CNC Router doesn't take coffee breaks, lunch breaks, smoke breaks, doesn't require medical coverage or 401K, it doesn't show up late, leave early, call in sick, doesn't claim it's not his job, argue with management, or go on a paid vacation. It obeys its programmer at all times and does what it's told without exception.
