We are delighted to announce our investment in a Star Sliding Head Lathe.
Designed specifically to make small (<32mm Dia), high precision, turned and milled components, this advanced machine tool adds to our list of world-class, highly accurate, highly productive and fully automated machine tools.
8 station back working platen combined with advanced sub-spindle enables parts to come off in one, requiring no further machining.
Robust metal cutting combined with bar feed and part removal provides reliable production ‘lights out’ into the night, increasing throughput and reducing lead times.
The new machine investment will strengthen our offer to many customers, including those in the Defence and Aerospace, Medical and Lighting sectors.
The machine arrives at the end of March and we look forward to providing further updates next month.
