Positive news on lead times
In a time of turmoil in the semi conductor markets, Kafo and You Ji ensure realistic lead times by ordering hundreds of Fanuc control/servo packages per month 6-8 months in advance to ensure delivery time remains acceptable to customers.
The most popular controls, Fanuc Oi Plus series and 31i are in great demand worldwide and the only way to keep lead times down is to look after your suppliers by committing to forward orders rather than ordering when you need one. When you build as many machines as Kafo and You Ji per annum, you can forecast with confidence.
Kafo 2,3,4 and 5 metre double column machining centres all ship 120 days from order.
You Ji 1,2m and 1.6m vertical lathes built to order and typically ship within 180 days.
At a time when mass produced cars or vans made to order can take 12-18 months to arrive, Kafo and You Ji are doing everything possible to keep lead times under 6 months.
You Ji VTL 1600 ATC+C vertical lathe. The most requested model.
