changeovers
CNC sliding head lathe for small parts up to 32mm diameter requiring high precision mill/turned features will feature fast changeovers between complex components at UK autosport show.
'Pitstop style' fast changeovers between two complex autosport type components will be demonstrated by NC Engineering of Watford on a top of the range Citizen M32-V CNC sliding head lathe, commonly regarded within industry as a compact 2.8m by 1.4m production shop, at the Autosport International Engineering Show in the NEC Visitors to the show will be challenged to estimate how long the mill/turn centre, capable of 'one-hit' production cycles, able to carry up to 80 tools and machine with three tools at the same time, will take to be reset between both components
