High-Speed Machines for Manufacturing
Minimize Gear.
Maximize Process Reliability.
Maximize Product Quality.
Less is more! Custom high-speed automation which will slash costs and burnish your brand in the marketplace.
If you are a very-high-volume manufacturer, you need machine speed. But your machine builders don’t know how to give it to you.
Blur offers indexing machine speeds of 300 cycles/minute and higher.
Fast machines achieve high throughput with short machine cycle times and a minimum of equipment. Slow machines achieve higher throughput by multiplying tooling, instrumentation, feed systems - ultimately multiplying the amount of gear in your factory.
By Moving Toward High-Speed Machines You Will:
Own Less Equipment
One machine, as opposed to 2, 3, or even 4 slower machines is
✓ Less expensive to buy
✓ Less expensive to own, operate, maintain, and repair
✓ Requires less ancillary equipment
✓ Occupies less space in your factory
Improve Process Reliability
Everything that has some functionality has some definite unreliability associated with it. The aggregate effect of this is a machine with a red or yellow light flashing over it.
As you multiply these items, the overall reliability goes down, and the machine is idle more often for longer times. Minimize - and go faster.
Improve Product Quality
To perform an assembly step on 2, or 4, or 8 products at once introduces additional variation in the position of the part relative to the position of the nested assembly. Other variations are introduced as well.
The result is poorer quality. It is a mathematical certainty. Get your tooling down to 1-up, if at all possible. Just run faster.
Lean out your factory. Minimize your operating costs. Be more competitive!

When Throughput is Achieved Through Complexity, Performance Suffers
Many manufacturers increase throughput by adding machines, tooling, assembly stations, and support equipment.
While this approach can increase output, it often introduces additional cost, variation, maintenance, and operational risk.
As production systems become more complex, manufacturers often face:
Increased Equipment Costs
Additional machines, tooling, and support systems require greater capital investment and long-term ownership costs.
Reduced Reliability
Every additional station, feeder, conveyor, and assembly process introduces another potential failure point.
Greater Process Variation
Multi-up tooling and parallel processes can introduce variation that affects product quality and consistency.
How Blur Helps
A Different Approach to Throughput
Blur Machine Laboratory develops high-speed machine systems designed to increase throughput while reducing complexity.
Less Equipment
Accomplish more with fewer machines.
Improved Reliability
Reduce failure points through simpler system architecture.
Better Product Quality
Maintain precision and consistency through optimized machine design.
Higher Throughput
Increase production output through machine speed rather than equipment multiplication.
