Swiss Precision Turning
01 May 2005
Tornos machines have proven the ideal solution for Rowan Precision since its inception in 1984, when it was one of the few local manufacturers of Swiss type turned parts in Birmingham. Now, the £2.3m turnover company employs 16 people and operates 17 CNC machines on single shift basis with unmanned production for high precision markets. Eleven of the 17 machines are now Tornos, with five Deco 10, two Deco 13's and the most recent acquisition being a Deco 32.
Director Chris Kent comments: "We currently export 150,000 parts per month to three UK customers that have moved to Malaysia. Based on our technical expertise and the capabilities provided to us by the Tornos machines we can provide high quality, cost effective parts - something that many foreign markets cannot provide."
Rowan Precision produces 2,000 to 20,000 component batch runs from alloy steels, stainless steels and a host of other materials for high precision markets such as the electronics, medical and aerospace industry.
"For peace of mind, many customers now want to know how our information is being stored. Our Deco machines all run off the same software, which is DNC linked with offline programming. All this is backed up remotely on a system that stores all our programs dating back to the introduction of our first Deco machine in 1997. This further instils customer confidence in our company and is an important consideration with regard to machine selection."
