Precision, efficiency, and productivity – these are the cornerstones of modern machining.
But what happens when your production hits a space limit?
Many manufacturers face exactly this challenge: order volumes are increasing, part variety is growing – but floor space remains tight. And fitting new machines into the shop floor is no longer that simple.
In high-mix, low-volume environments, this bottleneck quickly impacts daily operations. Longer paths, less efficient processes, and...

Five Strong Partners – One Common Goal Automation Day at Halter CNC Automation
Production bottlenecks, unclear workflows, or time lost on manual processes – none of that has to be the norm. On June 4 in Issum, the free Automation Day will focus on one key question: How can manufacturers get more out of their existing machines, processes, and capacity?
Five experienced partners – Schunk, Fanuc, LNS Europe, Halter CNC Automation, and Fastems – are teaming up to share prac...

How can a mid-sized manufacturer keep a single CNC machine running for over 7,000 hours per year – despite small batch sizes and high flexibility requirements? Cutmetall shows how smart automation with Fastems’ FPT-1000 boosts both productivity and investment security.
What looks like a typical automation project at first glance turns out to be a well-thought-out productivity strategy: with the compact FPT-1000 pallet system from Fastems, Cutmetall not only automated one CNC machine...

Automation on a New Level: Kostwein Relies on Fastems’ Flexible Pallet Tower and Manufacturing Management Software
In manufacturing, every second counts - especially when dealing with small batch sizes and a high mix of parts.
