Manual/CNC lathe reduces product cycle times
The installation of a Harrison Alpha Plus 550S manual/CNC lathe has led to a dramatic reduction in product cycle times for Stoke-based sub-contractor, Alton Precision Engineering.
Also on show for the first time in the UK and attracting considerable interest was Harrison's new Alpha 330T slant-bed lathe, complete with the company's highly successful touchscreen control and AlphaLink software.
The sale of two Alpha 400T machines from the stand underlined the overwhelming popularity of the Alpha T range, which has proved a firm favourite with sub-contractors mould and die, R and D and educational establishments throughout the world.
The launch of the Alpha 330T and Alpha 330U machines marked the implementation of a strategic move by Harrison towards smaller high-speed turning machines, capitalising on the popularity of the existing Alpha range and on the world-wide reputation for performance and value enjoyed by the Harrison brand.
Commenting on Harrison's MACH 2002 successes, Sales Director David Smith, explained: 'The sale of a number of machines from the stand is extremely encouraging and we're confident that the high quality of leads generated by the show will result in many additional sales in the near future.
The fact that both our newly launched and well established products attracted the attention of a wide range of international customers is a testimony to Harrison's commitment to product development and formidable reputation as a global market leader.'.
