Trent, At your volume levels and accuracy requirements, a Shop Sabre, Shopbot, Techno Isel machine will work well.
You stated that you want it simple. You should really get a dedicated vacuum pump for this machine or at least some dedicated way to clamp the parts down. Sharing between equipment is asking for problems.
The trick is to let the machine cut at about a 10 minute cycle, improve your load and unload procedures, and have the operator do some secondary operations during the machine cycle.
Good luck
