Hello,
I’m a manufacturer of wood products and am doing some research to find out if there is a CnC or robot platform that can be put to use to dramatically increase production. I make mostly handles for things by hand. Each requires many steps. Key steps are to finish the ends of the handles in different ways. For the sake of the conversation, let’s say they are rounded off to a semicircle. The sizes of what I work with vary greatly and can range from about 1/8” in diameter and up to about 2” The length can vary between about 4” and up to about 12”
My ideal goal is something that can pick up the handle stock from a hopper and at the very least round 2 ends and possibly scribe or etch some lines or dimples as decorations on one end. When it's done, it can drop the handle in another hopper.
I know nothing about the CnC arena and would appreciate any feedback about recommended manufacturers plus where to find training for this kind of equipment
Thanks!
Bill
