Marlor invests in ANCA MX7 with RFID technology, taking loading to a new level

Located in Peterborough, Marlor Tooling has been designing and manufacturing cutting tools for more than 20 years. The cutting tool manufacturer specialises in delivering innovative solutions for the aerospace, automotive, energy, woodworking and general subcontract markets. 

Discussing the business and the relationship with ANCA, Kevin Taylor from Marlor Tooling says: “Our business has grown with the technology. We aspire to have the best technology at all times and it has been an absolute pleasure working with the latest ANCA machine, the MX7 Linear. The quality of grind has always been there with the ANCA products, but this particular machine with the RFID technology has taken the loading of the machine to a different level. It’s an absolutely fabulous idea, chaotic loading is what it’s called and we have maximised the use of that. Things that we would consider being unable to load prior to the arrival of this machine, we now load. Whether it is a 1-off, 2-off, 3-off or a mixture of tools, it doesn’t mean anything to us now - everything can be automated. We are now trying to count our lead times in days and not weeks.”
