The ability to CNC turn and CNC mill components on the same machine tool has been affording huge benefits to manufacturers for many years now. The latest CNC Mill/Turn systems have proved themselves to be highly capable producing ever more complex components often in one hit.

The addition of a ‘Y’ axis has changed the perception of some jobs that were traditionally viewed as milled. These now routinely find there way onto one of our CNC Mill/Turning centres for a more integrated approach to complex component manufacture. Our machines of choice are Yamazaki Mazak. We are currently on our third generation of CNC Mill/Turning centres each proving more accurate, capable and flexible than the one before.

These machines are fitted as standard with Mazak’s own Mazatrol simple to use fully conversational programming system. In addition to this we also run a full offline Mastercam computer aided manufacturing system that post processes directly to the Mazak machining centre. This maximises our efficiency and reduces machine down time.

Maximum size diameter 420 mm. Bar feed 102 mm maximum diameter. ‘Z’ travel 670 mm.

We have utilised Yamazaki Mazak CNC turning centres for over 30 years. This high quality machine tool manufacturer with it’s UK based machine tool manufacturing and assembly plant has provided us with great machine tools over the years. The current pick of the crop offers tremendous accuracy combined with high reliability and low cost of ownership. These machines are fitted as standard with Mazak’s own Mazatrol simple to use fully conversational programming system.

In addition to this we also run a full offline Mastercam computer aided manufacturing system that post processes directly to the Mazak lathe.

Maximum size diameter 420 mm. 1000 mm between centres. ‘Z’ travel 750 mm.

We run a wide range of highly flexible 3, 4 and 5 axis machining centres that enable us to machine a vast array of components. Our machine tools are capable of manufacturing highly complex 3D mouldings. We utilise Mastercam off line programming software to maximise our efficiency and reduce machine down time. 

Maximum work cube 1016 mm x 660 mm x 635 mm

Our temperature controlled grinding cell is equipped with a highly capable Jones and Shipman Format 15 and the high rate production focused Toyoda GU4 three head machines. The Toyoda with it’s three grinding heads is able to grind multiple internal and external forms and side approach with out the need to interrupt the cycle. Many of our shaft type components are hardened and subsequently finish grind to very high tolerances.

Maximum size diameter 220 mm. 1000 mm between centres.
