You have many orders but you don’t dare to accept them? You are not short of people, but short of “suitable machine tools”
Many manufacturing companies are now facing a "happy trouble": there are more and more orders, but they dare not accept them easily.
Why? It’s not because the market is bad, nor because customers don’t give opportunities, but because once the product is accepted, the workshop will have to work overtime, production scheduling will be congested, quality problems may be exposed, and ultimately delivery will be delayed or the company will “lose money to gain publicity”.
The first reaction of many bosses is: “We are short of people!” But in fact, what you really lack is not people, but a machine tool that “can do the work, do it accurately, and do it quickly”.
一、Is it difficult to recruit people and improve efficiency? The problem is not "people"
In the past, the idea of processing was: when orders came, processing would keep up; when processing was tight, adding people to fill the gap.
But the reality is:
It is becoming increasingly difficult to find skilled workers, with high salaries and high mobility;
The operating levels of personnel vary, processing accuracy is unstable, and quality risks are high;
Multi-person collaboration is prone to errors, and process control is difficult.
As a result, the more orders there are, the greater the anxiety; the business gets better, but management becomes more tiring.
This is not a problem of "lack of people", but your existing equipment is too dependent on people, lacks stress resistance, and cannot cope with the comprehensive needs of high intensity, fast pace, and stability.
二、What you lack is: a "compound machine tool" that is truly suitable for the current production rhythm
In this context, traditional single-function machine tools can no longer meet the processing needs of enterprises for rapid response, large batches and small quantities, and process integration. What you need is:
✅ Multiple processes can be completed in one clamping
✅ High efficiency, stable precision, simple operation
✅ Qualified parts can be produced without relying on experienced craftsmen
✅ Able to handle large orders and continuous operation without interruption
This is exactly the original intention of Shandong DONGS CNC Equipment Co., Ltd. (DONGS CNC) to create medium and large-scale compound horizontal turning centers.
三、DONGS Machine Tools: The Confidence That Makes You Dare to Accept Orders
DONGS's horizontal turning center is specially designed for the processing of medium and large parts. It focuses on the full-process processing of complex structural parts with one clamping, and perfectly solves the dual problems of "lack of efficiency + manual dependence".
✦ One machine can replace multiple machines and automatically complete multiple processes
Turning, drilling, tapping, end surface treatment and other composite processing in one step
No need for multiple devices to coordinate, carry and align repeatedly
✦ High rigidity design, stable and high precision
Overall thickened bed, heavy-duty guide rails
Large through-hole spindle is suitable for stable clamping of extra-long and extra-large parts
✦ Easy to operate, even ordinary technicians can easily get started
Intelligent system guided programming
One-click machining path generation
Fast commissioning saves training cycles
✦ Intelligent reservation, future expansion possible
Support automatic loading and unloading, MES docking, and remote monitoring interface
Meeting the needs of smart manufacturing transformation
四、Customer feedback: From "not daring to answer" to "rushing to answer"
A certain mechanical processing enterprise hesitated at the beginning of last year when faced with a large number of orders from overseas customers because of the tight production capacity of the original equipment production line and insufficient manpower. After DONGS intervened, it only introduced two compound horizontal turning centers to replace the workload of the original five single-function equipment.
Processing cycle shortened by 40%
The number of operators per shift has been reduced from 6 to 3
The overall delivery period has been steadily improved, and the monthly order volume has increased by 30%.
Customer satisfaction has increased significantly
The head of the company admitted: "In the past, we had to consider the manpower when orders came in, but now we are rushing to accept them. As long as we can arrange for it, we dare to guarantee the delivery date."
五、Conclusion: The most suitable equipment is the most productive
What manufacturing companies fear most is not the lack of orders, but the lack of confidence to accept orders.
And the confidence comes from stable processes, controllable delivery dates, and consistent quality. The premise of all this is to have a machine tool that is suitable for the current production rhythm.
Instead of constantly hiring people and adding equipment, it is better to replace it with a DONGS medium-to-large horizontal lathe that is truly suitable for the rhythm of your production line.
Let the equipment do more work and let people control it easily, allowing you to switch from "counting manpower" to "controlling the rhythm".
Whether or not to accept an order no longer depends on manpower, but on whether you have a DONGS machine tool.
