Moore said: "In addition to investing in state of the art CNC machine tools , to help uphold the Company's reputation for the quality of ouroutput, Musashi regularly invest in equipment that ensures that ourvalued customers continue to receive Automotive products of thehighest possible standard".
* Web search - having identified the need for an advancedair-gauging system that could accurately measure difficult toaccess camshaft bearing journal diameters, within machine-toolcycle times, Moore searched the Web to compile a list of potentialsuppliers.
Moore continued: "Having examined the merits of several alternativeair-gauging providers, the ease of use, accuracy, repeatability and not least the price of the Bowers system convinced me tochoose the Bowers option".
Bowers designed and delivered a range of easy to use airsnap-gauges linked to Bowers PC2200 air columns.
"The great success of the first Bowers air-gauging measuringstation installation convinced me to expend the scheme into severalother areas of our busy camshaft manufacturing facility," saidMoore.
"The significant contribution our Bowers air-gauging has made tothe continued quality of our output and the enthusiasm for thesystem shown by our operators means that our air-gauging programmewill soon be rolled-out to other areas".
