Case Study: Ohio Custom Dies boosts quality and output with FANUC CNC controls

Ohio Custom Dies boosts program storage 5x with FANUC

Ohio Custom Dies, a multi-generational machine shop, faced challenges as its legacy equipment could not machine larger parts, forcing customers to seek alternatives. Additionally, the small shop had to accommodate both younger operators who wanted modern controls and older operators who preferred traditional interfaces, all while being unable to afford extensive staff training. They turned to FANUC America Corporation for a solution involving a new ROMI D 1000 machine equipped with FANUC 0i-F Plus CNC controls.

By implementing the FANUC 0i-F Plus CNC with its intelligent human machine interface (iHMI), FANUC America provided a solution that offered both modern graphical screens and traditional display settings. This resulted in a fivefold increase in program storage for larger parts and significantly faster processing speeds that reduced cycle times. The solution successfully bridged the generational gap in the shop, cut down on training, reduced errors, and allowed all operators to run any machine efficiently.
