Flexible Production, Created by IPS

Fast and agile is better.  If a greater degree of agility is needed, IPS can configure an agile cell or system that incorporates everything from VECTOR to CNC machining centers, 3-axis modules to head indexers and head changers, robots to gantry loaders - achieving the perfect balance of cost-efficient production with the flexibility to react quickly to the global landscape.  Our engineers are experts in integration - including fixturing, tooling, software, and auxiliary equipment.

These systems are preferred for manufacturing requirements where there is a strong probability that products and volumes will change during the productive life of the equipment, or when there is a variety of parts that must be processed in random batches.  We have a range of production-oriented horizontal machining centers that can be configured to meet the unique requirements of your parts.  The machines can be integrated with a variety of material handling alternatives, including robots, power and free conveyors and individual between-unit transfers.  In all cases, IPS can provide a complete turnkey solution, including fixturing, tooling, programs and installation.  Knuckles, gear boxes, brake components, blocks, heads and valve bodies are good candidates for agile systems/cells.
