Now they do not have to worry during the setup process and first piece run they know the program will be right due to the precise nature of ESPRIT simulation, setup sheets and posts.” Thirty years later, ESPRIT keeps Metri-Tech at the top of its game, thanks to its ease of use and quick support. Most of our machinists do both the setup and the machine operation, they know what they’re doing. “That allowed us to give more visibility to our programming and reduce mistakes in our setup the first time around.
It was a huge time savings.”īut just as crucial to Metri-Tech were ESPRIT’s accurate, full-color simulations - the first in the industry. “My dad bought the software, and he was very happy with it because we were mainly in the fitting business at that time he liked that it could program families of parts very well - because they’re similar geometries, they can be adjusted very easily with ESPRIT. “With this system, what you see is what you get - kind of like ESPRIT.” Metri-Tech has used ESPRIT almost since the CAM software’s inception - Gratzer estimates they first installed it in 1988. “Most job scheduling systems are number-driven. It’s part of the company’s forward-thinking approach to automation. and Katharina Gratzer, developed the scheduling program to help his 38 employees better visualize what is going on in the shop at any given time and plan for their next jobs. Hans Gratzer, Jr., COO / CTO of Metri-Tech and son of company founders Hans Sr. Metri-Tech Engineering, Inc., in Huntington Beach, CA, isn’t your typical job shop -that much is evident from the company’s shop filled with automated production equipment, including a wall-mounted Live Scheduler, which resembles a six-foot tall iPad.
In its 30,000-square-foot facility, Metri-Tech manufactures ultra-precision, high-volume critical components for the aerospace, medical, defense and commercial industries.
