AIM aims high
When Constantine Grapsas set up AIM (Automated Industrial Equipment) fifteen years ago, he understood that customer loyalty – not just the technical side of CNC wire forming technology – would be key to the success of his company in the long-term.
“We wanted to deliver machines designed in such a way as to provide the versatility
and durability to make money for the company that owned an AIM machine.”
Mr Grapsas continues: “A name often becomes a common reference to a product that people recognise easily, such as we all have a ‘fridge’ at home. Now I’m happy to say that in the North American market, when customers look for CNC wire bending equipment, they look for an ‘AIM’ – not a CNC wire bending machine!”
AIM maintains that its standard machines outperform the competition in terms of pure speed: “If throughput is significantly more important than other issues, we can deliver machines with higher performance capabilities by incorporating ultra features into the machine profile. These increase the productivity of machines by an average of 30%.”
For versatility AIM machines are available in 2D, 3D and double headed versions with fixed tooling or the dependable turret design allowing fast, efficient high speed tool interchangeability.
The AIM turret design allows for up to eight
tool configurations without a change in set-up. “The hallmark of an AIM machine,” says
Mr Grapsas, “is its operational consistency
over time.” This walks hand in hand with durability: “Each machine is engineered with durability as a key functional requirement.
We constantly test and improve sub-assembly components to improve product lifetime and performance. The machines are rugged, heavy-duty machines designed to last a lifetime.”
On the technology front, AIM has developed SmartEditor that allows operators to better handle process and parts design issues.
AIM integrates parts simulation software, production data logging and secondary process control into the system to make it more productive under a single control element. Finally AIM is confident that it offers the best after-sales support in the industry. “Our two year warranty is unique and a reflection of the fact that we deliver a superior product,” says Mr Grapsas.
