Minimising idle times: New 30-taper machine cuts cycle times by up to 50% using same feeds and speeds

摘要

Richmond CNC, an Ilfracombe-based sub-contract machining company, has installed its first 30-taper vertical machining centre (VMC) to cope with a significant increase in medical and aerospace work. A twin-pallet Speedio R650X1, the machine - built by Brother in Japan - has transformed the speed and efficiency with which parts are manufactured, according to Richmond's managing director, Gary Rich.
