Case Study: Kyocera achieves higher precision and productivity with FANUC CNCs and robots

Kyocera boosts production turnaround to 12 hours with FANUC CNCs and robots

Kyocera SGS, an ISO-certified manufacturer of precision tools for the aerospace and automotive industries, was challenged with older machines that could not consistently meet high precision standards or demand. To keep costs down while upgrading this legacy equipment, they partnered with FANUC America Corporation and United Grinding. Their goal was to improve machine performance and reduce downtime.

The solution involved United Grinding rebuilding the machines and equipping them with FANUC controls and FANUC LR Mate 200iD robots. This implementation by FANUC America Corporation resulted in significantly improved productivity, with machines returning to operation within just 12 hours of being received. The results included faster processing speeds, consistently high precision, minimized downtime, and improved overall machine performance and dependability.
