Already well known for its kiosk style ATM machines, Triton, the second largest manufacturer of ATM machines, was anxious to launch the FT5000; a new thru-the-wall unit. The introduction timing was to coincide with a national show. Everything was ready, except last minute changes caused a delay in the plastic front cover. With a little less than four weeks until the show, the program was in serious trouble.

General Pattern’s Rapid Tooling Center is equipped with high speed milling capabilities for tooling in excess of 40” x 100”. This coupled with a state-of-the-art structural foam plant (with machines over 1500 ton) enabled General Pattern to meet this challenge head-on. In addition, General Pattern’s in-house painting facility allowed us to deliver production representative parts in less than 3 weeks!

Not only did Triton launch the FT5000 on time, but with only minor upgrades, the tooling was converted from Prototype to Production; eliminating the cost and time associated with re-tooling. Today General Pattern is producing over 2000 units a year and Triton has a one-stop solution for it’s low volume production needs.
