It's not every day you find a manufacturer with its own museum, but such is the passion for manufacturing at Helical Technology that the company has a locomotive, a Red Arrow and a Bluebird replica among other artefacts at one of its four facilities. This passion for manufacturing, precision and quality is why the company has added yet another Nakamura-Tome mill/turn centre to its plant list.
BD Precision Engineers has significantly upgraded its manufacturing capabilities with the new Nakamura Tome AS200MYF turn/mill centre. The new machinery not only increases capacity but also enhances the quality and efficiency of BD Precision's operations, promising new opportunities and growth for the family-run business.
As the technology partner for the Nakamura-Tome brand of powerful multi-tasking turning centres, the Engineering Technology Group (ETG) announced the arrival of a new precision CNC multitasking lathe. With the concept of ‘next level machining’, the new Nakamura-Tome SC-200II machine has evolved way beyond its predecessor, the SC-200.
