Case Study: Pointe Precision achieves zero-defect aerospace manufacturing with FANUC automation

Pointe Precision achieves 0% reject rate with FANUC America Corporation

Pointe Precision, an aerospace machine shop, faced the challenge of producing complex components with extreme precision at high volume for lights-out production, with many automation partners unable to meet their technical demands. FANUC America Corporation, through its authorized system integrator United Grinding North America, provided a solution incorporating a FANUC M-10iD robot for machine tending.

The solution implemented by FANUC America and its partners was a fully integrated, turnkey automated cell combining grinding, in-process gauging, and robotics. This system achieved a zero percent customer reject rate and enabled fully automated, lights-out production, which increased Pointe Precision's capacity for future business growth and strengthened its competitive position.
