b2ap3_thumbnail_Marvel-SNK.jpg

By using the RB-4VM five-face bridge-type machining center from SNK America Inc., Marvel Manufacturing Co. Inc. was able to produce complex parts for band saws with increased precision.

As shops require ever tighter tolerances from their sawing operations, band saw manufacturer Marvel Manufacturing Co. was challenged to bring to market new models with increased capacity. These models required producing a large number of complex parts with tight tolerances, though, so Marvel invested in a five-face bridge mill from SNK America Inc. Not only did the machining center increase precision, but it also improved efficiency and production speed.

Founded in Chicago, Ill., in 1904 as the family-run Armstrong-Blum Co., the manufacturer eventually moved to its current headquarters in Oshkosh, Wis., where it designs and manufactures industrial-grade vertical and horizontal band saws for metal cutting operations. In 2004, a key group of employees bought the company and renamed it Marvel Manufacturing Co.
