Other heavy movers during recent years have
included a CMS/Brembana Antea 750 CNC automatic bridge saw,
A Marmo Meccanica bridge saw, and a Marmo Meccanica LCV
flat edge polishing machine for creating backsplashes.
But for Fine Line Pacific, the term high-tech
and its underlying concept doesn't just apply to CNC machines
and office software, it also applies to the behemoth new
facility itself.
The facility has at least one feature that
would easily make it the envy of fabrication shops almost
everywhere, according to Nick: a set of six overhead cranes
that served the metal-goods fabrication business that previously
occupied the building. Two cranes can lift 22 tons each,
and the other four can handle 15 tons each.
"It's obviously pretty unique for a
fabricator to have that capability in material handling,"
says Nick. "Not many people have that type of equipment,
and it benefits us both in terms of efficiency and safety.
The cranes allow us to drive the trucks into the building,
unload them, and drive right back out."
With the increased efficiency created through
the digital production system, combined with the overhead
cranes and the added space in the new facility, the company
is now able to keep a staggering amount of raw material
in stock.
