World's First Deco 20s Takes on Smaller Batches

WML Engineering Ltd has always been an innovative company looking to progress in the continually competitive UK subcontract market - so when Tornos launched the new Deco 20s at EMO in September, the Swansea based company was on hand to buy the world's first Deco 20s.

Predominantly a sliding head lathe machine shop, WML serves the medical, electronic, automotive and general subcontract sectors. The company felt it needed to alter its manufacturing strategy to improve its competitiveness in the UK's continually changing marketplace - with this in mind it bought the new Deco 20s.

WML Director Jason Meir comments: "The market is always changing and we found our machine shop was suited to batch runs of 500 plus, the new Tornos Deco 20s enables us to meet the needs of the small batch runs from 20, 50, 100 parts upwards. The changing marketplace meant we were missing out on small jobs that often came with larger contracts, this will not happen with the Deco 20s in place."

The short set-up times of the new Deco 20s now enables WML to offer customers a sample service.
