“The only way to grow is to look for a different way to do things, and equipment such as the HGG machine is a really big part of that journey in helping us achieve operational excellence.” says Kim Bassett, CEO and Chairwoman of the Board at Bassett Mechanical. The company has invested in its second generation of HGG machines, reinforcing its belief in the technology’s ability to streamline production. The ProCutter 900 RB was chosen specifically for its rollerbed system, which provides enhanced flexibility and minimizes shop floor disruption. By moving cutting processes outside, Bassett Mechanical has improved workflow efficiency and increased daily job throughput.

The transition to CNC-based fabrication has significantly reduced manual work. “Structural fabrication was the last process that didn’t follow our traditional workflow. Now, with the RPC 1200 Mk3, we can seamlessly transition from design to fabrication without manual intervention,” Bassett explains. The RPC machine enables direct integration with 3D design software, allowing for precise and efficient profiling.
