Consulting
We view our customer like partners, your performance directly impacts ours. We offer our years of experience and unparalleled technical expertise as a no charge service. In some situations we may recommend changes when we quote a job or for more complicated scenarios we may be able to go on-site to work with your team directly.
Our service is simple, we recommend changes and consult with clients when we think we can offer better alternatives, help a client save money or improve a design.
Examples:
- One of our clients came to us seeking a cutting edge to produce automated address labels at a high volume. We worked with the client to determine the best material, steel and hardness of the blade, and worked with the client to modify their assembly specifications that resulted in true cost savings to the process.
- In some cases a new blade is not necessary. We recently worked with a client to convert their guillotine cutter to work with plastics. Only an experienced blade manufacturer could have walked the client through adjusting their blade angles to properly calibrate the machine to effectively cut a different material. Demonstrating trust in that manner is the best compliment someone can give.
