Eliminate inefficiency.

When it comes to improving agility, cycle time isn’t the only factor. It’s often not even the most important factor. But it’s frequently the first target, and it’s an area where INDEX has long dominated.

Whether creating a process for a new part or improving one already in production, our team of applications engineers excels at reducing the time required for machining to the bare minimum.

Eliminate waste.

Scrap represents one of the biggest threats your shop can face. Not only does it directly increase your material costs, it jeopardizes your reputation and wastes time in a way that can destroy efficiency throughout your operations.

Many people mistakenly think we’re solely referencing cycle time when they see our longstanding tagline: better. parts. faster. That first word is important. The high level of our technology and expertise of our team combine to decimate the waste of scrap.

Eliminate work-in-progress.

The word automation often conjures images of complex cells where robots transfer work-in-process across multiple machines. At INDEX, we picture a sole machine accepting raw material and delivering finished parts.

INDEX machines offer the capability to perform an incredible range of processes, from 5-axis machining to gear hobbing to finish grinding, enabling single-setup production of even the most complex of parts. By eliminating the flow of partially finished work through your operations, we help you boost efficiency and maximize quality.

Eliminate downtime.

The time a machine sits idle while an operator sets up a job contributes nothing to your return on investment. On the flip side, the higher your spindle utilization, the higher your potential for profit.

INDEX delivers turnkey solutions built on the expertise of our internal teams and external partners. From our Virtual Machine software to tooling presetters, we show you how to prepare jobs in a way that minimizes the time needed to set them up on your machine.

Eliminate bottlenecks.

Jobs optimized and scheduled in a vacuum can lead to incredible inefficiency. Alternatively, grouping similar parts and optimizing them collectively can yield tremendous savings.

Our engineers possess extensive experience helping manufacturers create a strategic approach to workflow. Not only do they ensure we deliver a machine perfectly suited to the range of parts to be processed, they help your team understand how to group work in a way that slashes the amount of time it takes you to move from one job to the next.

Eliminate risk.
