The end of May started a new chapter for Northern Precision Products with its first Swiss CNC Machine. Although the machine is used, NPP is happy to have the Citizen A32 CNC machine arrive with a job already setup and running. It immediately makes an impact by arriving nearly turnkey with a job running in 90 seconds which previously took 120 seconds to produce.
Previously, NPP served as an ACME and conventional CNC machine shop but with the introduction of this Citizen we are now a swiss style CNC machine shop (in addition to the Acmes). We expect this to be a step up from our previous machine, being that it is a Citizen brand, which is a premium manufacturer of sliding head stock machines. The machine can go up to 32MM diameter or 1.250 inches. It can still produce parts all the way down to .032″ diameter but the larger size fits better with NPPs part portfolio.
We expect this machine to provide a channel to new work. It will open doors to new industries and make us more competitive in our current industries. And best of all, since this new equipment for us, if we have any questions we have the support of our partner company, Gent Machine, which has been swiss machining for 17 years.
See below, our newest piece of equipment.
