Mechanical – which is a
primary contractor to the
Ministry of Defence –
providing all of Chubb's 30+
MoD-related product families

Until last year all machining
was outsourced but the
volumes involved, typically up
to 250-off, meant that even in
recession no subcontractors
were willing to commit and
late deliveries of machined
components were a problem.
So the decision was taken to
invest in a 20 hp/8000rev/min
XYZ 1010 VMC vertical
machining centre with fullyintegrated
4th axis and a
38hp/3500 rev/min XYZ 250
TC turning centre with live
tooling.
The company then needed
additional turning capacity
and, with limited workshop
floor space, opted for a
20HP/5000 rev/min XYZ
Compact Turn 52 turning
centre, all three machines
being equipped with Siemens
conversational CNC. More articles from XYZ Machine Tools Limited: |
