Extra large CNC lathe September 1st 2009 Less than a week after the
installation of an XYZ
XL1500 extra large CNC
lathe, Kristek Precision
secured an ongoing order for
large stainless steel seal rings
for the power generation
industry, none of which could
be produced on the company's
previous machine tools.
Investment in the 50hp,
1500mm swing over bed
lathe equipped with Siemens
840D ShopTurn
conversational control, is
indicative of the Melksham,
subcontractor's progression
to larger, more complex
machining.
Machining of the 1350mm
OD stainless steel seal rings
has been allocated to the XL
1500 which provides
pinpoint accuracy.
Those on the shopfloor like
the Siemens conversational
control and Kristek is happy
with XYZ's support. More articles from XYZ Machine Tools Limited: |
