Manual/CNC mill
November 1st 2004

An XYZ Edge 1500 manual/CNC turret mill with 1066mm by 228mm table has been installed in one of the machine shops at Maycast- Nokes Precision Engineering to cut down the setting and run times for small batch work.

As the 3HP variable speed (75 to 4200 rev/min) mill has easy-to-learn Prototrak Edge control, it is also proving suitable for the company’s ongoing training programme. This entry-level, two-axis control combines two axis CNC with threeaxis digital readout, providing a convenient step up from manual machining and enabling new recruits to quickly and easily master the intricacies of creating, editing and storing part programs.

Installation and training went smoothly and there have been no problems with the machine. The company, a leading supplier of fully machined castings, is considering installing a second machine.
