Feedback from Unison's customers, who have evaluated the cost of purchasing new equipment versus the cost of rebuilding their existing machines, tell us having Unison rebuild their equipment was their lowest cost alternative when compared to purchasing new equipment from one of our competitors. Some of their considerations are as follows
| Ease of Transition - Existing customer's operators are already trained in the use of our equipment so only minimal training is required for them to become proficient with a rebuilt machine. Unison's new software is virtually identical to the format you are currently using. |
| Time to Qualify new Equipment - Unison's equipment has already been qualified in our customer's facility so the process to re-qualify a rebuilt machine is minimal. |
| Flexibility of Software - Unison's software is easy to use and, in benchmark comparisons with the software of our competitors' grinders, is usually found to be more flexible. |
| Three Dimensional Predictor - Unison's real-time 3D predictor is one of the best available on the market today for tool development. |
| AC Servomotors and Drives - Unison can install reliable AC Yaskawa servomotors and drive amplifiers on rebuilt machines. |
| Spare Parts Inventory - Many of the items you have in inventory for your current grinder will be usable as spare parts for your rebuilt machine. |
| Maintenance Advantage - You know how to service our equipment and preventive maintenance procedures have been already established with your personnel. |
