The equipment you see here reduces costs for nonproduction machining.  It enables skilled machinists to produce more work, and it allows less-skilled machinists to do more complicated work.  People are expensive, and these products make people more valuable by reducing the unproductive time they spend on manual set-ups and handle-cranking.     Southwestern Industries, Inc.  (SWI) has been manufacturing productivity equipment for shops since introducing the Trav-A-Dial in 1963.  SWI revolutionized toolroom milling when introducing the ProtoTRAK in 1985.  There are over ten thousand ProtoTRAKs in use now.  The TRAK A.G.E. is fourth generation of products based on the ProtoTRAK idea.  SWI does nothing but design, manufacture, sell, and support productivity equipment for your application.  Petty-Thompson Engineering, Inc. serves as distributor of Southwestern Industries.  The service and sales region of Petty-Thompson includes Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, and Mississippi.  More than any other company, we offer you the expertise that translates into inexpensive turn-key solutions for your shop.   Would you like to experience this equipment first hand?
