COMPARED TO YESTERDAY'S MACHINE DESIGNS, MODERN COLD-FORMED AND FASTENER-PRODUCING MACHINES ADDRESS THE NEEDS FOR COMPETING IN TODAY'S MARKETS. GREATLY IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY RESULTS FROM QUICK-CHANGEOVER MACHINES THAT PRODUCE CONSISTENT, PRECISION PARTS UNDER PROPER CHANGEOVER MANAGEMENT. THE INCREASED ANNUAL PRODUCTION OUTPUT AND VERSATILITY FROM MODERN DESIGN MACHINES EFFECTIVELY MEETS THE CHANGED ENVIRONMENT OF THE FORMING INDUSTRY.
