Both of these have associated costs, both of these effect the total number of guitars can be output in the course of the day, both of these will have different effects on the maintanence schedule of the machine etc etc. Say company 1 wants the CNC reset once ever hour, while company 2 wants it reset once a day.
The reason you would want to do this is that no machine is infallible, and over time the machine can get slightly out of alignment, at which point it’s no longer cutting in the exact right sports. Typically when a company partners with a manufacturer to produce instruments for them, they not only provide the plans for the guitars themselves, they also agree to a large number of manufacturing standards.įor one example, companies will agree how often the CNC machine is reset – this would mean the reset button is pressed and the cutter moves back to coordinates 0, 0, 0 on the X, Y and Z axis. So how does WMIC make so many guitars for different brands at different price points and not have them come out the same?
