RAM Precision Industries Increases Production 290% with CNC Automation

Founded in 1974, RAM is a leader in leveraging the latest state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities utilizing proprietary technology. RAM delivers solutions for the beverage and food container, medical, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, oil & natural gas, and aerospace industries. Its products include high-mix, low-volume, high-precision manufacturing capable of holding tolerances as close as 1 micron (.00004 inch).

RAM faces the same challenges many other manufacturers experience today: “do more with less”.

To overcome daily challenges, RAM looked toward automated systems to improve its spindle utilization. As it began researching automation for a job shop, RAM knew flexibility was key to its success. RAM Precision Ind. had been presented with several solutions; however, none were flexible enough until it was introduced to Automation Within Reach (AWR). The AWR system offered flexibility with the standard package, which can handle parts from 1/2" to 5" in diameter and from 1" to 7" OAL.

The AWR Flex Series DC-2 offered the flexibility it needed and the "opportunity to challenge current processes and increase overall production throughput." RAM realized a 290% increase in production on any given day over its manual process by having the ability to run around the clock with no labor present.

RAM Precision Industries partnered with Automation Within Reach based on "confidence in their experience and strong relationship." The relationship between RAM and AWR has evolved into a "strong, strategic, and supportive partnership."
