Lightning Time Savers is an engineering and consulting firm with sixteen years experience implementing method improvements and installing hardware to reduce job-change time on 25 to 2000-ton presses and mold machines to under 10 minutes.

Lightning Time Savers has the Experience:

"We had invested heavily in the equipment required to perform quick die change but had not realized many of its benefits. The guidance and recommendations provided by Gary Zunker proved to be right on target. With no additional investment, the simple concepts of prestaging, team setups, and ownership enabled us to achieve an 80% reduction in setup time within 2 weeks. Our output has increased by over 40%, and the setup team is anxious to apply these same concepts throughout the rest of the plant."
