We, at Marshall have been revolutionizing the manufacturing world with our ‘Closed Loop’ Turning Solutions. We’re not just in the business of selling machine tools; we are in the business of solving problems for our customers. Our automation products have been created with the sole objective of increasing productivity in the machine shops and creating a stress-free work environment.

At Marshall we understand that Machine Shops around the world still use manually operated CNC Turning Centers, an industry standard from  3 decades ago. Most machine shops are facing 2 major pain points:

• Finding & Retaining Skilled Operators and getting them to produce Zero Defect parts

AND

• Finding & Retaining dedicated Quality Inspectors who can ensure that NO bad part reaches the customer

Our patented SmartCorrect Gauging Stations with ‘Closed Loop’ technology is one unique solution for both these pain points. Standard CNC Lathes (or legacy machines) can be converted into smart machines with SmartCorrect Gauging Stations.

Production Managers, Machine shop Owners, Auto-part manufacturers, Manufacturing Industry are probably the biggest beneficiaries of SmartCorrect. SmartCorrect uses a Closed Loop Manufacturing system which uses Auto Inspection, Auto Analysis and Auto-Correction to tool offset values in the CNC Lathe to produce Zero Defect Turned components used in Automotive and other industrial sectors.

For Production Managers One of the challenges, even with experienced operators, is to produce Zero Defect Quality on the CNC Lathe at all times….

Production Managers are also facing a shortage of skilled Operators. But SmartCorrect eliminates the need to have previous experience. Any motivated worker can start operating a machine and produce ZERO DEFECT parts in just a few hours.

SmartCorrect also maintains digital records of all measurements, so the production manager has no need for Inspectors doing pre-dispatch inspection. These Inspectors can be redeployed for other tasks.

Here’s how SmartCorrect Produces Zero Defect Quality!

There are 3 types of Human errors that lead to defective parts being manufactured.

1. Measurement Error: With so many different analog instruments used to check various dimensions, the possibility of error caused by non-calibration or the wrong handling of an instrument is something inevitable.
2. Judgement: When Operators become tired or unfocused, especially on a night shift, it’s very easy to arrive at a wrong judgement… HOW much correction does the tool offset really need!
3. CNC Input Error: Missing a decimal place, Or putting the value of tool offset in wrong window in the CNC screen is a very common problem after a long day of working a repetitive job!

These are serious issues causing huge pain in machine shops! And until yesterday, there was NO solution.
