Precision isn’t enough for parts manufacturers that face increasingly aggressive competition from other companies. Meanwhile, the product manufacturers who are their customers demand consistent outcomes, which in turn drive the profitability of both businesses. Staub Precision Machine understands that precision is only the beginning of the process of making parts for products. Behind the high-performance machining the company performs are all the services Staub offers that are aimed at helping product manufacturers succeed.
Taking a Holistic Approach to Precision Manufacturing
From optimizing processes to delivering precision parts in high volumes, everything Staub Precision Machine does is done to better meet customer needs. Focused on contract manufacturing, Staub’s holistic approach to parts manufacturing involves advanced manufacturing techniques that integrate automated technology with quality control while building solid relationships between all stakeholders. These values embody how Staub deals with its clientele.
Integrating Advanced Technology and Automation
Cutting-edge automation is at the core of Staub’s precision manufacturing. The use of advanced CNC machines, robots, and other automated systems boosts profitability. Automation touches every activity on the shop floor, from loading to unloading, and from assembly to inspection. These automated processes that began decades ago have since morphed into a fabrication philosophy known as “lights-out manufacturing”.
A key element to its success, Staub’s approach to automation has governed Staub’s growth, enabling unattended production without the need for onsite supervision. This, in turn, maximizes consistency and efficiency while reducing labor costs and limiting variability. Everything the company does relies on the integration of automated machinery that mills, turns, cuts or finishes parts with precision for the aerospace, defense, medical, and other industries.
How Staub’s Automation Drives Efficiency and Scalability
With automated precision manufacturing, Staub’s customers receive results from lower production costs and fewer human errors. The ability to run operations around the clock with minimal additional operational expenses results in faster turnaround times and lower costs per unit. This, in turn, allows greater manufacturing scalability without compromising quality.
Comprehensive Quality Control
At every stage from design to delivery, Staub’s manufacturing processes involve quality control, with mitigation often able to happen in real time. The company’s AS9100 and ISO 9001 certifications show how Staub follows the strict standards required for aerospace, medical and other sectors that require parts made with precision. Manufacturing profitability is also boosted by the reduction of human error that automated quality control offers. These certifications in turn show how the company has committed to continually improving quality in all of Staub’s processes.
Delivering Higher Quality, Consistency & Compliance
By employing advanced machinery like Swiss lathes for turning processes or 5-axis milling machines for achieving extraordinarily tight tolerances, Staub’s machinists can effortlessly make intricate components with complex geometries through precision manufacturing. Profitability stems from lower waste and fewer production delays as production becomes more consistent, along with fewer defects leading to lower return rates. This higher quality also helps Staub to better comply with regulatory requirements, in turn avoiding recalls or the need to redesign.
Collaborative Partnerships
The relationships Staub develops with customers, employees and vendors are integral to the company’s success. Prioritizing collaboration and respect, Staub works closely with clients to optimize designs and overcome challenges to ensure greater efficiency. Its Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFMA) helps clients plan more cost-effective solutions, balancing cost, quality and speed to streamline production.
Collaborating with Staub means working with a partner that supports its customers’ manufacturing goals. Using state-of-the-art design software, Staub’s in-house engineering team in turn tailors manufacturing solutions to address specific needs of a project. This collaborative approach ensures that customer goals are met for both cost and performance. Optimized designs also result in better products with quicker turnaround times.
Continual Improvement and Innovation
Staub proactively improves and continually innovates its precision manufacturing. Profitability ensues from refining processes and investing in custom automation tailored to suit customers’ needs. These include customized automation, such as robotic assembly and material handling stations, that help optimize processes to enhance efficiency and sustainability. It’s this forward-looking mindset that ensures Staub continues to adapt to the evolving demands of the industry.
From strong and lightweight aluminum alloys for aerospace applications to intricately cut components for medical devices made from titanium, Staub’s machinists constantly hone their machining techniques. For example, innovative systems like the company’s chip control systems enhance efficiency and lower costs for high-volume precision manufacturing. Profitability stems from these advanced solutions, which benefit from Staub’s ongoing pursuit of the best solutions.
Dedicated Workforce
When it comes to producing parts with tight tolerances, it takes more than state-of-the-art machinery to achieve the necessary precision. Manufacturing profitability stems as much from the dedicated employees who oversee Staub’s automated systems as it does from these systems themselves. It takes skilled personnel dedicated to doing quality work in a professional manner to bring it all together. While repetitive tasks are automated, Staub’s staff can focus on higher-value assignments that promote quality and optimize processes. It’s this human-centric attitude that contributes to Staub’s mission to its customers.
Flexible Processes
Machine shops like Staub must adapt their machining methods to meet the specific needs of various industries, including aerospace, defense, entertainment, medical, and others. Serving these diverse sectors requires considerable flexibility. Staub’s holistic approach to precision machining means the company can fabricate everything from intricate components for medical devices to large sections of aircraft. The company’s machines and processes can also be adapted to work with aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and other materials, while maintaining high standards.
