Live Tooling: Keeping Jobs in the U.S.

There is another option that these manufacturing companies should consider which will assist in keeping jobs within the U.S, increase productivity and decrease production time. This option is to obtain innovative machinery which is equipped with live tooling capabilities. Wolverine Machine did just that when it purchased its Miyano BNE 51S with live tooling and sub-spindle. This combination of live tooling and a sub-spindle makes the BNE 51S capable of performing milling, drilling and machining on both sides of a part in one operation.  Live tooling and a sub-spindle can eliminate secondary operations, manual part flipping, and the need to use more pieces of machinery to complete the part. In addition, live tooling allows us to manufacture a part with increased accuracy and repeatability due to the elimination of hand loading secondary operations.
