Productivity Initiative Impacts

The program is expected to generate pretax savings of $65 million to $75 million, primarily in 2016, of which a portion will be reinvested back into the company. Hershey anticipates that enabling further investment in brand-building and global capabilities should deliver future confectionery and snacks revenue and adjusted earnings per share-diluted growth that results in increased shareholder value.

The program is expected to result in the reduction of approximately 300 jobs by the end of 2015, with estimated pre-tax charges and costs of $100 million to $120 million, or $0.29 to $0.35 per share-diluted, the majority of which are cash and will be incurred in 2015.

Quick Change of Fixtures in conventional machining / VMC / HMC

Fixtures can be changed very rapidly using the Ball Lock. Providing a fixture repeatability within +/- 13 micron and in less than a minute, the Ball Lock can be a great fixture change solutions for VMCs, HMCs, Conventional Milling, Drilling, Welding machines. Ball Lock is available in varying diameters for clamping forces ranging from 3KN to 88KN.

Part Clamping on Vertical Turning Lathe (VTL) using Staylock

VTL require rigid reliable clamping and generally employ conventional time consuming mechanical clamping or expensive hydraulic chucks. A great solution to this can be found in Staylock Clamps. They are faster and more convenient to use than mechanical clamps and cost a lot less than radial hydraulic chucks. Staylocks can be used with Quick Change disconnects to obtain a truly great solution for Part clamping on VTL.

Quick Hydraulic Part Clamping in Cylinder heads without fear of Clamping release

A solution to clamp parts without fear of loss of clamping can be found in Staylock Clamps. Available in different styles with varying clamping forces ranging from 15 to 125 KN, the staylock clamps are Mechanical Wedge clamps using hydraulic pressure for actuation. Staylocks have been successfully used in the machining of Cylinder heads. Since they do not require pressure to maintain the clamping, there is no possibility of clamping release; therefore the power source can be disconnected

Single Minute Change of Fixtures

The Ball Lock is a solution to change fixtures on VMC / HMC / Welding machines / conventional machines within few minutes and with a fixture repeatability within +/- 13 micron. The Ball Lock increases productivity with energy savings!
