February 2012
UNISIG CEO Anthony Fettig contributed to a feature in Manufacturing Engineering magazine about the future of the oil & gas and fracking industries in the US, and the importance of being able to handle the drilling of exotic materials accurately the first time.
Improved technology, such as a histogram interface, showing data such as spindle and thrust loads over time, contribute to an improved process and help operators correct anomalies right away. UNISIG machine technology has evolved with the oil and gas industry, and has capable machines and an experienced engineering team for these applications.
