I recently spoke to a HEAT customer who informed me that he has reduced set-up time on one job from almost 3 hours to about 1/2 hour because of HEAT. Even though the work piece for this job is flat on top and bottom allowing for good sealed flushing, by using HEAT Technology, he was able to move the flushing nozzles away from the work piece far enough to clear the clamps that were used to hold the work piece. Now instead of having to plan work piece holding/clamping in order to avoid the upper head hitting the clamps, he simply does his set-up however is convenient, uses HEAT settings instead of standard technology, and runs his parts with the flushing nozzles moved away from the work piece surface. He is also able to realize shorter process times with faster burns while also consuming less wire. This means shorter lead times and higher profits.
