£0.33m Double Purchase Is A Measure Of Ambition
01 Mar 2006
Following the successful implementation of Bonspiel Engineering's first Star SV32 multi axis CNC, a second has just been installed taking the investment in these two machines in the last six months to £333k. The company specialises in precision CNC sliding head turned components from 0.5 - 32mm in diameter, and has a plant list that now contains more than 20 Star machines.
Managing director Steve Bruce says: "The speed and flexibility of the first SV32 allowed us to confidently quote a complex rectangular part manufactured from a round bar which was previously made in three operations on a machining centre. We have 10 milling cutters in the turret and three in the platten meaning the only turning operation is the part off. We are now able to run the part continuously including lights out operation which was not previously possible.
Although not required for this application we have again purchased the machine with a high pressure coolant system which enables us to drill very deep small diameter holes used for surgical instruments."
Bonspiel based in Dundee, serves various sectors including electronics, aviation, oil, medical and sub sea industries.
