Bumotec s181 waves tradition goodbye

摘要

A Bumotec s181 machining centre from Birmingham-based Starrag is enabling a producer of 'traditional' turned parts to not only finish-machine a multi-operation component with interconnecting holes to a burr-free state (with high levels of roundness and surface finish), but is also allowing it to attract new business where effective and efficient single set-up multi-operation workpieces are required. The Fanuc-controlled s181 turn-mill centre was installed to make a distributor for a respiratory protective device (the component that connects an oxygen bottle to a respirator mask, as used by the fire service).
