Future Engineers From Wayne High School Tour OptiPro Systems

Mike Bechtold speaks to the students of Wayne High School

On November 12th, OptiPro Systems welcomed a large group of students from Wayne High School to their facility to learn about the company's history and its operations. Wayne High School is located just down the road from OptiPro in Ontario, NY. The students are currently taking a course called Computed Integrated Manufacturing and because this topic is OptiPro's specialty, president Mike Bechtold was able to provide the students with a great deal of information based on years of experience in the field. After showing a video about what exactly OptiPro does, Mike discussed the broad range of career opportunities available at a smaller company like OptiPro, including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and machine tool technician. He also encouraged the group of students to consider technical career paths and led them on a tour of the facility in attempt to excite them about these possibilities. While taking the students on the tour of OptiPro, he showed the group the CNC machines OptiPro has in its facility and explained the capabilities of each machine. From CNC optical grinding and polishing machines to 5-axis CNC milling and turning centers, the students got to witness how computers play an essential role in both optical fabrication and metal machining.
SpiderCool Coolant Solution: Safe, Reliable, Profitable
SpiderCool
If you are looking for a way to help increase productivity and profitability in your company, then consider installing SpiderCool, the programmable coolant solution that reduces cycle time by eliminating manual coolant adjustments. SpiderCool is an Automated Coolant Nozzle System for machining centers made by Dimensional Control, Inc (DCI). SpiderCool memorizes where coolant is aimed on each tool, then adjusts automatically while the machine is running. It knows which tool is in the spindle by using a patented "Intelligent Interface" to monitor the tool changer. The benefits of SpiderCool are numerous in amount. Adding SpiderCool to your machining centers will allow the machining centers to run without operator intervention for extended periods of time, meaning improved cycle efficiency and more profit per machining hour. Since cycle time is being reduced, this allows for increased cutting time, which will in turn increase productivity. Tool life is increased since coolant is precisely aimed at the cutting edge where heat is generated. Perhaps just as important as profitability is safety and reliability, which also comes standard with SpiderCool. SpiderCool removes the need for machinists to reach inside a machine enclosure while it is running to adjust coolant lines. This reduces the risk of someone injuring themselves while operating a machine. In terms of reliability, companies have gone nearly 10 years using SpiderCool without needing it fixed. Increasing profitability while emphasizing safety and reliability makes SpiderCool a great investment for any company that runs Vertical and Horizontal Machining Centers with automatic tool changers, machines without tool changers, and even machining centers with "through the spindle coolant" (TSC).
