Day Two Features
An Award- Winning Case Study
Anchor Manu- facturing Group, Inc., Cleveland, OH, received a 2019 Award of Excellence from PMA, presented at FABTECH in Chicago, for productivity gains realized on its automotive steering-column crash-tube line. The company special- izes in high-strength aluminum assem- blies, stainless-steel exhaust products, safety-critical parts, steering-column components and assemblies, and
appearance parts.
“Improving the crash-tube line was
challenging,” says conference presenter Tim Canan, manager of industrial engi- neering at Anchor, “due to tight part tolerances and high throughput expec- tations. Also challenging: the complex- ity of the line, which includes a five- station forming machine, a nine-station pierce machine, two CNC machining centers, a deburring oper- ation, parts washer, stencil unit and a restrike press.”
The first major improvements to the line, and what will comprise the meat of Canan’s presentation, occurred
