New lathe cuts cycle times
March 1st 2004

Following its investment in a Colchester Tornado 220 slant bed chucking lathe, Aspin Engineering has cut extrusion die machining up to 70%, adopted hard turning of materials up to 45HRC, reduced grinding requirements by a third and expanded into general sub-contract machining. Dr Anton Aspin, managing director, comments We decided to buy the Tornado 220 cnc lathe following a visit to the Colchester Sales Technical Centre. Originally selected from a shortlist of three turning machines, it was the performance, accuracy and overall value for money that were the major advantages we determined. I was particularly impressed by the construction, with its wide slideways and polymer concrete filled base which gives a high level of stability. Hall 5, Stand 5160
