Aerospace component machining cost halved on Brother 31B

Plymouth subcontractor, Morris Engineering, was faced with either losing an aerospace contract, quite possibly to an overseas supplier, or finding a way of manufacturing the components much less expensively. The resulting value engineering exercise, which involved investing in an additional Brother vertical machining centre, was so successful that cycle time and labour overhead were both cut by a factor of five, reducing the cost of manufacturing the components by 50 per cent.

Top Quality Horizontal Machining Centre Grows With The User

Workpieces up to half a tonne can be machined to very high precision in a nominal half-metre cube.

Tried and tested designs and components used by leading global machine tool manufacturers have been selected by Averex Automation, Taichung, to produce the Akari HS-450i horizontal-spindle machining centre (HMC). By selecting only the best constituents and coupling them with a lower cost manufacturing base in Taiwan, the company is able to build a very high precision machine at a competitive price.

Die Casting company emerges stronger from the recession

The versatility of Brother high-speed machining centres has helped Suffolk die casting specialist, RD Castings, to diversify from over-reliance on supplying the yellow goods sector, which proved volatile during the recent downturn.

Whereas the company used only to machine its own zinc and aluminium high-pressure die castings, during the second half of 2009 it started a subcontract milling and turning service, producing components in a variety of materials for a much wider spread of industry sectors.
