Specialising in the manufacture of precision components for the aerospace industry, subcontract machining firm Apel began investing in Citizen CNC turning centres in the 1980s to help raise efficiency. Founded in 1965, the company has over time continued to re-invest in modern, highly productive lathes purchased exclusively from Citizen Machinery UK. Nowadays, Apel operates nine Cincom sliding-head lathes and one Miyano fixed-head model at its Wilmslow facility. Together they produce around 50,000 components per month across more than 3,000 part numbers. Utilisation of these Citizen CNC lathes and related technologies has led to significantly increased levels of productivity and profitability. The technology that has contributed most to raising the efficiency of production at Apel is Citizen's proprietary LFV (low-frequency vibration) chip-breaking software, which is part of the operating system in the control of three of the six 20mm capacity Cincom L20s on site. When activated, the function breaks what would otherwise be long, stringy swarf into short, manageable chips. Around 50% of the material processed by Apel is aerospace-grade stainless steel bar. LFV is especially effective when processing this alloy. Paul Bowker, Apel's Quality Director said: “We were an early adopter of LFV in 2018 following a visit to Citizen Machinery's technical centre in Bushey to witness demonstrations. The function reduces the metal removal rate slightly, so we don't use it all the time, but it's really useful to be able to pick and choose when to program the function to start and stop. We switch it on mainly when turning stainless steel components on the LFV-equipped machines, especially when processing parts shorter than 25mm. It is normally chip breaking the metal for up to half of a typical cutting cycle.” He further explained that the decision to use LFV is also based on the surface finish required on components. Some customers' drawings stipulate a very high surface tolerance and machining with the LFV function switched on allows this to be achieved by turning alone. It avoids the need to centreless grind parts afterwards, thereby reducing unit manufacturing costs and raising profitability. Dimensional and surface finish tolerances on many component drawings can be met and maintained when using this facility. Apel also uses Citizen's adaptive guide bush (AGB) system. This automatically compensates for variation in bar diameter, preventing the stock from seizing in the bush. It also constantly maintains concentricity to prevent run-out issues. Downtime is avoided and tight machining tolerances are maintained. The system is used not only on the 20mm capacity sliding-head lathes but also on three 32mm capacity Cincom models on the shop floor. The aerospace sector is very busy presently and Apel is well placed to win work due to the quality management system it operates, competitive pricing and the many industry and customer approvals it holds. Exports account for 20% of turnover with India and Saudi Arabia being major overseas markets. The AGB systems ensure reliability during unattended operation by compensating for bar diameter inconsistency and preventing stoppages. Additionally, the LFV machines do not have swarf clogging the working area when processing stainless steel. It contributes further to reliability and eliminates the need for an operator to be in attendance to untangle ribbons from the components and tooling. Mr Bowker concluded: “Our nine Cincoms, as well as the Miyano for turn-milling larger components up to 50mm diameter, support all of our production and will continue to do so as we increase our volume of work in the expanding global aerospace industry.”

In this episode, Rob and Ileana are joined by Oscar Eduardo Santiago Sevilla, a successful industrial engineer and entrepreneur from La Piedad Mexico. Oscar is the Founder and CEO of the Centro de Innovación y Competitividad A.C., where he helps entrepreneurs enhance their skills and fosters a culture of innovation. He is also a consultant, instructor, and external advisor on strategic planning, innovation, and new businesses. During the interview, Oscar shares his life journey and how he became passionate about entrepreneurship, particularly in the La Piedad entrepreneurial economy. He talks about his various companies and initiatives, including CINCOM, which offers several programs and opportunities for entrepreneurs to learn and get support. One of the key takeaways from the interview is Oscar's perspective on failure. He believes that it's inevitable and that we shouldn't avoid it. Instead, we should embrace it and learn from it. He also stresses the importance of entrepreneurship in creating economic opportunities for rural towns and cities in Mexico, and how it can break generational cycles.

Editor's Note: This episode is sponsored by Cincom. Two decades ago, many product companies started their digital journeys with a brochure-style web site. Back then, a static online product list may have met customer expectations, but today's buyers expect something more. On this episode we talk with Greg Hall, director of product management at Cincom about buyer experiences, the state of the CPQ market, and his observations on how buyer and seller priorities have changed over time. Hall foresees more complex products and services, even products sold primarily as services, using CPQ technology to engage customers earlier in the buying process and more holistically throughout it.  Want to see how CPQ can help you?
