Since the introduction in 1995 one of the world’s first agile production system by Hüller Hille, this new production concept has gained increasing acceptance. Agile production is characterized by a series of operations or cells, each with multiple machines for parallel part processing. In most cases today, one and two spindle CNC machining centers perform the complete processing of complex workpieces, e.g., cylinder blocks, cylinder heads and transmission cases.
