BMO Automation
Pushing Potential into Performance
At BMO, we are developing step-by-step the ultimate autonomous machining factory. Not to replace craftsmen, but rather to make the most of their skills. By creating overview, eliminating human error and taking repetitive tasks off their hands, scarce craftsmen are given the peace of mind to add their unique value where it matters most.
Thousands of CNC machines are not yet automated. For craftsmen, this means less oversight, human error and repetitive work. BMO helps turn this potential into performance. With a modular robot cell and advanced software, your current craftsmen will triple the number of spindle hours. Since 2008, BMO has focused on Multi Batch Automation for small series and single pieces: that means automatic overnight fixture changeovers. BMO offers a Multi Badge solution for every turning- and milling machine.
A week has 168 hours. How many spindle hours are you billing this week?

CNC operator looking for a job!
Hello, my name is Rob Ot and I am looking for work as a CNC operator. Most people think that robots like me are only good at large series, but I am a specialist in small series and single pieces. My colleagues describe me as a real go-getter.
You will never hear me complain about things like collective labour agreement, pension, air conditioning or the content of your Christmas package. I really hate Cup-a-Soup and producing unnecessary stock.
Availability: 168 hours / week
Salary indication: € 5 / hour
Can I strengthen your production?

AUTONOMY
The time until your CNC machine stops
How long does it take for your CNC machine to stop? Watch out! It is often thought that autonomy depends on series size, but that is a misunderstanding. Your autonomy is in fact dependent on your type of automation. Do you opt for Single Batch or Multi Batch Automation?
Single Batch Automation
Set up one product and produce it unmanned
Autonomy = production time of the set up product
Multi Batch Automation
First set up several products and then produce unmanned
Autonomy = production time of all set up products together
BMO has focused on Multi Batch Automation since 2008. Our customers and BMO Precision Parts do it every day. So would you like to walk through your order book together? Then we will show you the effect of Multi Batch Automation on your specific situation.
