Optimized Assembly and Manufacturing Efficiency
Furthermore, the correct depth and angle of cut at the grinding station are unattainable without precise time control. Sharp corners always ensure an assembly with no big gaps between parts. In turn signals better sealing (as air can leak out--though not too much; think instead of liquid seeping out from such a cover seam) and less wear on gear teeth. These correspondingly improve overall machine performance. This precision means that the manufacturer needs to rework fewer assemblies and there are now far less production errors than would have been otherwise. In consequence, for a manufacturer this implies increased production efficiency--with lead times shortening as well--and, ultimately, a reduction in overall costs which can be passed on as savings to the customer.
