Horizontal Machining is the Right Way Forward
01 Jul 2003
LMS Precision Engineering of Droitwich, Worcestershire has invested in a Matsuura H.Plus 405 horizontal machining centre fitted with 6 pallets and 120 tools on a 240 base. By investing in such a high quality model of machine that is in operation globally in every conceivable sector of manufacturing, LMS knows that its Matsuura investment has the capacity and quality to increase its chances of securing future work.
Having traditionally used vertical machines with 4th axis rotary tables this horizontal machining centre is a first for LMS, but is yet another step in the company's plan for continued investment in the latest technology.
"We decided that a horizontal machine was the right way forward due to the potential reduction in set up times for our multi-face components.
The investment in a machine of this specification is quite considerable for a small sub-contract machining business like ours. We decided that the best way to get a machine of this type to pay in the long term was to be able to load it with a variety of work to keep the utilisation as high as possible", comments Roger Street, company owner and managing partner.
