Specialising in the sub-contract machining of precision components, Valco UK in Essex has invested heavily in a subtle blend of CNC machine tools over the last three years.
Large CNC lathes to be got for attractive prices
Value for money CNC machine tool specialist, XYZ Machine Tools in Devon, has expanded its range of CNC lathes with the introduction of the Vulcan series of turning centres.
Attendance at the exhibition may have been less than in previous MACH exhibition years, but XYZ's managing director, Nigel Atherton, is delighted with the outcome.
"My gut feeling is that the market is very upbeat and people are looking to invest," he says.
Given the current level of enquiries, XYZ is confident of securing more orders in the weeks and months ahead.
The Mini Mill 560, for example, was of particular interest to visitors to MACH 2004, its ribbed cast iron construction providing outstanding rigidity and allowing full use of its 8000 rev/min (12,000 rev/min optional) spindle speed and 25m/min rapid traverse rates.
Launched less than a year ago, it has been an outstanding success, with more than 100 of these compact vertical machining centres delivered to customers already.
The Burlescombe, Tiverton-based machine tool supplier has another reason to be cheerful.
It is now 20 years since the business was formed and to celebrate this, and its most profitable year ever, XYZ has extended its exhibition offers, which include special show prices and a finance package that requires only a ?1 deposit while giving a three-month payment holiday at the beginning of the agreement.
This enables the customer to profit immediately from his purchase, enhancing rather than disrupting vital cash flow. Request free introductory details about products from XYZ Machine Tools ...
