Precision metal stamping has come a long way over the last several decades, and Small Parts is always excited to add new technologies and their associated capabilities to our four manufacturing sites across North America. Strokes per minute, and parts per million, are two very different metrics -- but together, they tie directly to operational efficiency, competitive pricing, and affirming to our partners that Small Parts is the go-to source for new stamping opportunities. We are proud to house four of these advanced inline vision systems in our enterprise, with additional investments already road mapped. The future of precision metal stamping is smart, and the path that Small Parts has charted is no different.

Could THIS even be done on a 3-axis machine? And if so, how many setups does it take? Here are a few reasons to consider jumping to 5-axis: 1. **Reducing Setups:** Every time you need to adjust your part to machine a different side, it’s like having to rewind a cassette tape with a pencil. It takes forever. With 5-axis machining, you can hit all the sides in a single setup. 2. **Increasing Productivity:** With fewer setups comes less downtime. It's like switching from dial-up to broadband. You’re getting things done faster, which means you can pump out more parts quicker than you can say, “MTV actually played music videos.” 3. **Reducing Scrap Rates:** Every machinist knows the agony of a scrapped part. With 5-axis machines, the enhanced precision and control significantly cut down on mishaps, meaning less material thrown out and more money in your pocket. 4. **Producing Complex Parts:** You want a part with weird angles and intricate details? 5-axis is your machine. 5. **Increased Precision:** With the additional axes, you’re looking at machine movements that are smoother. This leads to better surface finishes and super tight tolerances. So, if you’re thinking about whether to upgrade from the reliable 3-axis to the versatile 5-axis, consider this: How much is that extra precision, speed, and flexibility worth to you? In today's competitive market, being able to quickly and accurately produce complex parts can be the difference between losing or winning a bid. The difference between breaking even or making money!
