The new DMU50eV linear five-axis machining centre is already being used to machine a variety of parts, largely for the MoD, such as ground handling equipment spares and various aircraft components. Batch sizes range from 10-400 off with certain positional tolerances as tight as 0.02mm. The company specified an increased tool capacity on its DMU 50eV linear, allowing it to run two jobs at the same time simply by alternating pallets.

The move to full five-axis machining began in 2002 when Long & Marshall purchased a DMU70eV. A Gildemeister Twin 65, a twin spindle, twin turret turning centre was installed in 2003 and a Gildemeister CTX 410 universal CNC lathe in 2004.

Established over 30 years ago, Long & Marshall has been successful in developing its knowledge base and experience in providing machining solutions for complex and fine tolerance parts, particularly for the defence and aerospace industries. In particular, the company specialises in the close tolerance production of complex components, often from exotic materials.
