KWIK-CLAMP UNVEILED AT EASTEC'S LEAN MANUFACTURING EXHIBIT

The KWIK-CLAMP focuses on making Lean Manufacturing a reality in small, medium and large businesses. It is based on the principles of Quick-Changeover and Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED).

RIMECO PRODUCTS is unveiling KWIK-CLAMP at EASTECS Lean Manufacturing Exhibit. KWIK-CLAMP is a pneumatically controlled fixture quick-change system designed to increase productivity on any vertical machining center. Lean manufacturing is a new approach for manufacturers to reduce costs and increase profits. The KWIK-CLAMP system accomplishes this by focusing on SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die) and the benefits of Quick Changeovers. The benefits of quick changeovers include; shorter lead-time, less material waste, fewer defects, less inventory, lower space requirements, higher productivity and greater flexibility. RIMECO will have several KWIK-CLAMP units on-site for hands-on demonstrations on the effectiveness, diversity and the ease of use. RIMECO is offering a 10% EASTEC discount to all customers as part of its product introduction. The discount is only available for the three days of the show, May 20-22, but is available to anyone attending or not attending the show. To see how the KWIK-CLAMP can be used inside of any small, medium or large manufacturing facility, visit booth #6675 in the lean manufacturing pavilion at EASTEC. EASTEC is the East Coasts largest annual manufacturing event. It will be held May 20-22, 2003 at the Eastern States Exposition Grounds located in West Springfield, Massachusetts.
