Transforming Efficiency: The Impact of Yama Seiki’s VP Bridge Mill at Hazelett Corporation

“The new acquisition of the Yama Seiki VP bridge mill has opened several new gains in efficiency at Hazelett. The large envelope affords one-op setups or even multiple side by side. Prior to the VP, we were utilizing smaller C frame VMC machines, that required multiple setups, datum pickups and risk for accuracy issues. We can now process large parts more efficiently, saving time and ensuring quality. Other features such as coolant through spindle extend tool life and tool probing further reduces setup time. We are pleased with the outcome of this acquisition and our partnership with Yama Seiki and Brooks Associates.”
