Aug 2010 - Installation of Mazak
5-axis machining centre

Axiom Too 900 CNC Co-ordinate Measuring MachineMetaltech have taken delivery of a Mazak VTC-800/30 SR 5-axis machining centre. This investment is a much needed addition to our CNC milling capabilities.

The machine will cut our manufacturing lead times through reducing the number of operations required, particularly on some of the casting work that we undertake. It should also allow us to be more competitive and remain at the forefront of sub-contract engineering.

 

April 2010 - Completion of office and machinery move.

With our 47,000 ft² machine shop full to capacity, the decision was made to acquire a vacant adjoining building. This now gives us an additional 8,000 ft² which will be used to house our high-tech machine tools. Additional office space has also been utilised.

 

March 2010 - Installation of new Miyano BNJ-42SY 7 Axis Turning Centre.

Axiom Too 900 CNC Co-ordinate Measuring MachineDue to an increase in customer demand Metaltech have taken the decision to introduce their first Miyano machine. Business Development Manager Andy Riste comments “ We had identified that we were lacking capacity between our sliding head lathes and larger bar-feed machines. The Ø42mm Miyano fits the bill perfectly!

 

 

 

January 2010 - Acquisition of SPC Ltd

Metaltech Precision Ltd are pleased to announce the acquisition of SPC Ltd from January 2010. This has now given us 5 Axis capability with the introduction of 2 XYZ 1060 VMC’s.

I am sure this will be a mutually beneficial venture both protecting the interests of SPCs staff and customers and furthering the growth of Metaltech. I believe in these difficult times it is the right choice for both companies.
(Steve Hill, Managing Director)
