With the Methods Plus K60, built upon the FANUC RoboDrill, SpiTrex has the machine it needs for trusted, high-volume production.

Min-Max Machine
OKK’s Slim Profile Allows Machine Shop to Add More Machines, Improve Capabilities
One of the most critical aspects of stable growth is a machine’s footprint. Fitting a machine in your shop is one thing, but finding the best platform for the best space is another challenge. You have to consider how many machines you can fit in your shop while making sure you have room to grow in the future. The company needs to utilize every inch of floor space, and every platform needs to demonstrate its value. The company knew there were many good options with those prerequisites in mind, but only one machine was the best fit for his shop: OKK’s VM53R.
