Count On Tools Inc., a leading provider of precision components and SMT spare parts, recently expanded its manufacturing operations at its Gainesville, Georgia Headquarters for the second time in recent months. The recent expansion is in response to the growing market for SMT nozzles and consumables as well as the increased demand for its precision contract machining services.

According to company representative, Zach Shook, Count On Tools recently purchased a 26mm CNC Bar Turning Center by Miyano to further increase production capabilities and lower product lead times. The Miyano BX-26S gang tool lathe with two spindles offers complete part machining of complex bar work (1" diameter and under) in a single setup. Two gang slides and a 3D linear turret further contribute to the lathe's precision and fast cycle times.

The industries that Count On Tools serves count on accuracy of part specifications and on-time delivery of orders. This new machine will help Count On Tools achieve both. Additionally, the new machine handles jobs faster by providing increased production speeds and faster processing power. “This new equipment helps us to produce tight tolerance, precision components quickly and consistently,” said Shook. “As a result, we can now respond to changing customer needs faster and at highly competitive costs."

As a contract manufacturer, Count On Tools and its experienced, knowledgeable management team strives to provide a full line of services to its customers and to continue meeting customers' demands both now and in the future.
