The revolutionary Hardinge / EMAG joint venture produced VL machines provide a guaranteed load / unload time of 4 - 6 seconds - chip to chip - which is critical for cycles of 30 sec and less.
One of the most pleasing (and satisfying) aspects about the performance has been how representative the sales have been.
Says David Andrew, Sales and Marketing Director at Hardinge Machine Tools; "Across all of our sales territories activity has been hectic - and, these outstanding results have not been confined to a particular machine tool technology either".
"We've seen high demand for our milling, turning and grinding machines - from standard entry level right through to our more sophisticated and advanced models".
The September results demonstrate the power and exploit of the Hardinge brand - and its obvious appeal to UK precision manufacturers.
Already on a high since its great sales performance at - and following MACH 2006 - these results reflect well on the Company's relatively new sales team and indicate a clear upward trend for Hardinge machine tool sales.
Concludes David Andrew: "Results like these don't happen by chance".
"A lot of individual and collective hard work (over many months) - and throughout the whole organisation - has gone into creating the right conditions for this increased level of sales activity".
"I am delighted that all that commitment and dedication has come to fruition".
