THE MOST LABOR INTENSIVE, UNCONTROLLABLE AREA OF PRODUCTION REMAINING IN THE MANUFACTURE OF PRECISION PARTS INVOLVES THE FINAL FINISH MACHINING OPERATIONS, WHICH FREQUENTLY ABSORB MORE LABOR TIME THAN MACHINING. PROPER FINISHING OF EDGES AND SURFACES AFFECTS MORE THAN THE APPEARANCE OR FEEL OF A PRODUCT. CONTROLLED, CONSISTENT EDGE AND SURFACE FINISHING CAN DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE PRODUCT PERFORMANCE AND LIFE WHILE REDUCING DIRECT LABOR COSTS. THESE FINISHING OPERATIONS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS THE SINGLE GREATEST HURDLE REMAINING IN FULLY AUTOMATING THE PRODUCTION OF PRECISION COMPONENTS.
