Differing from competitor programs, Maintenance Technologies philosophy is to provide comprehensive long-term support to maximise Cincinnati Machine equipment availability and productivity while maintaining the lowest cost of ownership throughout the machine life cycle. “We can provide a complete lifecycle support package of to protect a customer’s machine tool investment. This portfolio of products and services is extensive and significantly different from most machine tool suppliers,” says Ian Curlett, sales manager at Maintenance Technologies. “In response to this we have developed a product called Freedom E Log to monitor any machine tool and display the data gathered to develop improvements in OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness).
