Norbar Torque has invested more
than £1.6m in new machinery, which
includes two new Mori Seiki NTX
mill-turn machines which are being
used to machine electronic and
gearbox products, including
transducer shafts.

The company has also invested in
two Gleason CNC gear shaping
machines to generate gear
components for its
hand torque and
powered torque
multipliers.

Martin
Reynolds,
manufacturing
manager, says:
“The investment in
Mori Seiki
machines has
supported our existing turning
centre and mill turn capacity. Since
the machines went into operation we
have seen a 45-60% improvement in
cycle times. The investment in
Gleason machines is in line with our
policy of modernising our gear
generation facilities.”
