Delivering high-performance Okuma CNC machines designed to work seamlessly with the periperal equipment your shop floor requires.

“It’s nice when you can find three companies who work well together and their products fit well together. You don’t need to make any special adjustments, everything fits nicely. They’re easy put on, easy to replace, or change out if needed.” – Spencer Robertson – Continuous Improvement Leader at Pursuit Aerospace.

At EMEC Machine Tools, we understand that manufacturing success depends on the strength of the integrated solutions we provide. In this video, Spencer Robertson, Continuous Improvement Leader at Pursuit Aerospace, shares his perspective on the benefits of an integrated approach to shop floor environments. The project highlights the effectiveness of collaboration between Pursuit Aerospace and our key partners: Okuma America Corporation and Aeroex Technologies . We take pride in acting as the central point of contact, connecting our customers with suppliers who mirror our own commitment to quality and service. As Spencer notes, the success of this project was driven by having three companies like – EMEC, Okuma, and Aeroex – working in sync to provide a seamless solution for the shop floor. We believe that when your technology providers and machine tool partners share a unified goal, it fosters the foundation for long-term operational success.

The Challenge: Improving Shop Air Quality

During heavy roughing cuts, Pursuit Aerospace faced challenges with smog, smoke, and team. These byproducts made it harder to see around the machines and impacted the overall air quality of the shop, which made it more challenging to keep the workspace as clean and comfortable for the team.

Engineered for Compatibility

At EMEC, we know that a productive shop floor is more than just the machines — it’s about how everything works together to create a better workspace. We support Pursuit Aerospace by providing the robust Okuma CNC machines that power their facility, making sure these machines are configured easily with the extra technologies your shop needs, like the Aeroex Mist Collectors.

  • Built for Flexibility: Our Okuma machines are designed with the flexibility needed to modern shops. This makes it straightforward to install mist collector systems, ensuring they fit well and run smoothly at the machines peak performance.
  • Effortless Integration: Because these technologies are designed to work together, Pursuit was able to setup their air quality solution without needing complex, special adjustments to their Okuma machines. The result is a clean, productive, and efficient shop where the team can stay focused on the work at hand.

The Results: A Cleaner, More Efficient Shop Floor

  • Immediate Impact: Operations noticed the difference right away, leading to a cleaner, healthier work environment.
  • Optimized Performance: The Okuma machines continue to run at peak performance, supported by an air quality system that keeps things clear.
