In this application a busy and growing swimming pool manufacturer had a need to improve their part processing time on their E channel parts. To help the customer achieve success with this goal, Multicyl built a custom machine using "Multicyl Linear Rail" (MLR) gang punching technology and "Press in a Box" (PIB) punching stations.

This machine punched up to 10 holes per hit in their E channel. Not only were the stations made to be both selectable and relocatable using MLR technology, but several value added features such as adjustable stops, part guides, and stock crowders were added for easy and accurate part loading and location. The end result is that production times for this part were increased by a factor of 3 over their previous method.
