Larger Small Parts Target Overseas Competition
01 Apr 2003
Target Precision in Essex, a company renowned for smaller precision turned parts is now able to produce complex mill/turn parts up to 32mm diameter with the introduction of a 13-axis Citizen M32 CNC sliding head automatic lathe. The company reckons that with this new capability for parts of this size, overseas competitors - especially those in China and Taiwan - will find it hard to compete with them in terms of delivery turn-around, as well as price.
Target Precision was established in 1997 as a sister company to Target Sports, one of the UK's leading manufacturers of darts. Today four operators look after nine Citizen sliding head lathes, which have the capacity for 10,000 sets of high-quality brass dart bodies per week in addition to precision sub-contract turned parts supply.
