As the company expanded RCF packaging, standard materials sometimes took more than 10 days to procure and pack, making lead times a challenge. Its existing cutting machine lacked the cost performance and productivity needed to improve profitability through in-house production and handle short lead times.

With the CFX-2550, the company brought RCF packaging production in-house, reducing lead times to two or three days. It cut outsourcing costs by about 9% and material waste by about 15%, while enabling short-run, quick-turnaround production tailored to each product size and improving customer service.

They were unable to print on rigid (board) materials, which limited the range of jobs they could take on.

By bringing both printing and cutting on rigid materials in-house, they are now able to respond more flexibly to customer needs. This has expanded the range of jobs they can take on and strengthened their readiness to win new business.

They wanted to increase cutting productivity. Cutting styrene boards and aluminum composite panels was done manually, but post-cut corrections were frequent and efficiency was poor. During rush jobs, they sometimes faced panic due to insufficient manpower.

By entrusting tasks like panel cutting to CFX instead of doing it manually, we've cut our work time in half. Tasks that used to require the entire staff can now be handled by a single person. The cutting quality is also high, allowing us to increase the number of products we can manufacture in-house.

They use a laser cutting machine for material cutting, but when cutting life-size panels made of aluminum composite panels, the cut edges melted due to heat, resulting in an unsightly finish. Additionally, they handle other materials that laser cutting struggles with, such as thin sheet films and styrene boards. They were searching for a cutting plotter capable of handling these materials.

CFX does not burn the cross section like laser cut, and a satisfactory finish is obtained.Since it has a dragonfly reading function, there is no slight positional deviation when cutting.Therefore, it is also useful for cutting small printed matters such as seals, stickers, and product mounting paper. The range of in-house manufacturing has expanded and it has become possible to meet various requests.

The existing cutting plotter could not cut rubber with thickness and hardness precisely. The area of the processing table was also small, and they wanted to increase the production efficiency. Since large products need to be made in sections and the labor of bonding occurs after cutting, they wanted to reduce the cost by processing them as a single piece.

Because CFX has a high cutting pressure and a large processing table, high-quality rubber products can now be mass-produced. Large materials can be cut only once, reducing the number of bonding steps. The processing speed is also fast so that they can handle urgent cases with plenty of time. Now that the company has more work to do, it can develop new businesses.

The amount of orders for deformed floor seats and life-size panel production is increasing year by year and overtime is a matter of course in the busy season. They wanted to automate the process of cutting large base materials, because there were some cases where the site was overcapacity at times and they had to turn down jobs that our sales staff had won.

Reduced the dependency on individuals of the work and labor costs have been reduced by about 15% since the introduction of CFX. Even during the peak season, they were able to get through without overtime and without turning down a single job. In addition, the defect rate was improved, and the introduction of additional equipment was considered only three months after the introduction.

Want to improve their cutting skills and efficiency.

After the introduction of CFX, the amount of work that can be cut in a day has greatly increased, and the total amount of work that can be ordered has increased, so sales and profits have increased. In addition, overtime hours have decreased, and employee satisfaction is high. Seeking further efficiency, table expansion was decided in five months after the introduction of the main body.
