ALBION, Mich. (March 15, 2004) – Caster Concepts, Inc. (CCI), a leading manufacturer of specialty and custom-designed casters for industrial use, recently added laser cutting to their caster and wheel manufacturing operations. The application of this technology within the industry provides users of CCI’s heavy-duty and custom-designed casters and wheels with the highest quality fabricated products available today.
Dr. William Dobbins, President and CEO, explained that the purchase of the Mitsubishi LXP laser cutter, with state-of-the-art software, is part of the firm’s on-going growth strategy of providing users of CCI casters and wheels with the highest quality product, while allowing the firm to continue to shrink lead times for heavy-duty and custom-designed products.
With the utilization of laser cutting technology, casters are now frequently produced in a single laser cutting operation allowing CCI to eliminate costly and time-consuming secondary operations. The net effect to their customers is a high quality caster or wheel that is visibly different from those of competitors, and one that is produced in shorter delivery cycles – an important consideration in this industry where delivery cycles rank high with end use customers.
Dr. Dobbins went on to explain; “CCI is committed to adapting proven technologies that deliver superior product performance results. The laser cutter will assure the highest quality of fabrication in the manufacture of our heavy-duty and custom product lines. It allows us to cut high quality pieces in necessary volumes in the shortest lead times within our industry. To the best of my knowledge no other caster manufacturer has this
level of laser cutting capabilities. Laser cutting clearly delivers higher quality products and shorter delivery cycles – the sort of beyond standard results our customers can always expect from Caster Concepts.”
The use of laser cutting is now migrating to CCI’s medium-duty product lines as the firm plans to bring laser cutting technology to all of its products.
Manufactured under ISO 9001-quality certification for consistent, predictable performance, Caster Concepts, Inc. products and capabilities for industrial applications are virtually unlimited. The engineers at CCI have over 100 years of application knowledge.
