High-speed CNC miller offers precision
High-accuracy, high-speed milling machine is appropriate for mould and die applications, which call for maximum precision and surface quality.
Automatic EDM wire feed system cuts lead times
The high-speed, sensor-controlled, automatic wire feed system on its latest wire EDM is really reducing lead times for multi-aperture work at a spring maker.
The toolroom, which was well equipped before, is now truly state of the art, with an array of brand new Sodick machines - including three AQ325L CNC wire erosion machines which use the unique linear drive technology to provide even higher precision particularly on larger work pieces.
In addition, Hi-Spec has installed an AM3L CNC linear motor die sinking spark erosion machine - which, due to its advanced technology, can cut machining time by half compared to working with a re-circulating ball screw - and a K1CEDM hole drilling machine, all supplied by Sodi-Tech EDM of Coventry.
Peter Capp, Sodi-Tech MD, comments, "Hi-Spec has been a customer for many years and it is great to see the company bounce back after what had certainly been a difficult time.
Every cloud really does have a silver lining, and in this case I am sure the investment in new technology will help the company achieve even greater efficiency.
Hi-Spec provides high quality precision toolmaking to a wide variety of sectors including automotive, electrical and agricultural.
Tooling produced ranges in size from 350kN to 4000kN and includes plastics moulding, Zinc diecasting and Aluminium diecasting.
True to its expansive spirit, the company does not confine its business to the Midlands but has customers across the whole of the UK.
The moulding operation is now 9 machines strong after a further capital investment of GBP 200,000.
More than 10 million mouldings were produced during the last twelve months and the forecast for the next twelve exceeds 30 million mouldings.
