Investments Continue as Company Expands
01 Sep 2004
Contract-manufacturing specialist PG Technology, Surrey has recently completed the installation of two, top-of-the-range S31 5-axis CNC Studer grinding machines and a pair of two Mikron CNC vertical machining centres: a VCP600 and a VCE600. The installations come just a few weeks after the rapidly expanding company purchased a 5axis Mikron UCP 1350 vertical machining centre for its CNC machine shop.
The company also purchased a number of new Charmilles Clean Cut and twin-wire machines for its stateof-the-art EDM Centre.company owner Vincent Bootes describes the investment as part of an 'extensive and ongoing' program to reinforce PG's position as one of the UK's top precision engineering partners.
PG Technology's investment program began two years ago when Mr Bootes took over the 70 year-old Surrey based company. In that time PG has evolved into a consolidated manufacturing organisation offering contract manufacturing, an extensive EDM capability, advanced toolmaking, 5-axis CNC machining, CNC grinding services, and CNC grinding wheel profile dressing systems.
"PG Technology has decades of experience as a top-tier manufacturing company, " says Mr Bootes. "To maintain our lead and our reputation, we need to have the best equipment available. We bought the Studer S31's because they are compact but extremely capable machines ideal for grinding complex, multi-diameter and out of round components to very high-accuracy. The Mikron vertical machining centres are very precise, reliable machine tools which will provide valuable additional capacity for our busy machine shop."
