Efficiency gains

The quest for a more efficient operation prompted LTI to install a Martin Automatic (www.martinautomatic.com) automatic splicer and automatic transfer rewind on its newest line, a Mark Andy XP5000 servo press. The benefits have been everything the company was looking for, and more.

"Since we added the Martin equipment, we're able to accomplish in a day what would have otherwise taken us a day and a half to do," says Baker. "It's like adding extra hours of production capacity to every shift."
