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.
"Our best-ever event of this type and an excellent result in what is already a very successful year," is how Nigel Atherton, managing director, summed up this record-breaking result.
He added that he is confident of selling many more of this new range of CNC lathes, especially with the unveiling later this year of a 410mm bore 'oil country' version.
Visitors from 41 end-user companies attended the two-day event, which provided an ideal opportunity to check out the complete spectrum of machine tools available from XYZ.
And some visitors benefited directly from the decision to upgrade the main showroom, as several of the 21 demonstration machines were sold at below list price to make room for the refurbishment to be completed.
Although best known for its best-selling ProtoTRAK-equipped manual/CNC turret/bed mills and lathes, XYZ has steadily expanded its product portfolio, recently adding a high-speed vertical machining centre to its VMC range.
There are also three models of CNC bridge mill and five models of 'extra large' capacity CNC lathe.
It is the addition of these larger machines to the product portfolio - XL lathes can be supplied with a 1500mm swing and a distance between centres of up to 10m and BRM bridge mills with an X axis travel up to 3810mm - that has prompted the upgrading of the showroom facilities situated within XYZ's 60,000ft2 headquarters and administration centre.
