News Briefs - Mar/Apr 2023
Methods Machine Tools, Inc. carries world-class CNC solutions that offer the latest in multi-axis machining for increased efficiencies and improved production capacity for shops that manufacture recreational firearms components and parts. Examples of their offerings include Vertical CNC machine solutions that optimize the automation and production of precisely manufactured parts to maximize your profitability and ROI, CNC machining solutions with five-axis capabilities that minimize multiple setups and material handling in addition to opening new possibilities for manufacturing complex parts, and best-in-class inspection performance and measurement accuracy using VisionGauge digital optical comparators to minimize product defects and lack of conformity for manufacturers.
At the SHOT Show Supplier Showcase, Methods teamed up in its booth with Beamer Laser Marking Systems, an all-American manufacturer, with the critical marking expertise that any firearms manufacturer--from small shops to the very largest manufacturers--needs. Laser marking is fast, flexible, repeatable, durable, and it’s a one-button operation. It saves time in the manufacturing process (in some cases, as much as three minutes per part) because it relies on programmable actions that reduce operator interface. Critical information like serial numbers and Item Unique Identifier Data (IUID) labels can be created with consistency throughout the production of all parts and components. This speeds up cycle time and improves productivity.
“The Supplier Showcase is a valuable venue for us,” said Methods sales rep Jason Gray. “It gives us the opportunity to meet new customers in the firearms manufacturing community.”
