Abstract :
Baldor Electric Company is committed to manufacturing motors and generators in United States. We believe this is in the best interest of customers, stockholders and employees. This makes selecting the correct machine options for each phase of electric motor manufacturing critically important. That is why cycle time of a product is critical for productivity at the most reasonable cost. We are also forced to take a hard look at each cost in our products. This paper will focus on the appropriate options for machine and tooling selection with considerations of high and low volume production levels. We believe this is the way to keep manufacturing in the United States.
