Ennis Flint Trading Inc

Ennis-Flint Inc. produces road signs and safety materials: from traditional paints to pre-formed thermoplastic materials for transverse markings, pedestrian crossings, etc. Every Ennis-Flint product and application is designed for quality, and guarantees safety, reliability, regardless of the project: this is the company motto.

Waterjet and Ennis-Flint share this strategic area: the focus on quality as common ground has prompted the great US player to turn to Waterjet. It got in touch to submit a key production problem for the company: replacing manual die cutting with an automatic technology which would guarantee the same speed, the same productivity but increase the potential of flexible production.

Waterjet meets this need by supplying two machines, the Prima LT 55 model with 1500 mm x 1500 mm work surfaces, customising them with a cantilever system (cantilever bridge) for greater accessibility to the machine loading and unloading areas. Furthermore, the machines are equipped with an independent double bridge managed by a single double channel CN. In practice, a single operator can simultaneously follow four different processes.

The tailoring of the order is a well-known element for the Waterjet Corporation: so much so that the company has made it one of its strengths. The experience and technical background acquired in 30 years of single-product manufacturing have allowed the company to consolidate a production process capable of industrialising the creation of the tailored product, guaranteeing to the customer, in addition to the technological performance, delivery times reduced to the bare minimum: in 90-120 days the customer is certain that the machine will be delivered, whatever the degree of customisation required.
