Machine tools investment
As part of its growth strategy, Arefco Special Products has installed two new Romi machines – a giant C-1600-H CNC lathe with live tools and a C-axis, and a GL-350B sub-spindle CNC lathe with live tools and C-axis.
Together these two machines along with tooling and measuring equipment add up to an investment of just over $1m or £650,000. These are the first machines of their type in Europe, with the GL-350B only making its UK debut at the MACH exhibition in April.
The larger Romi C-1600-H machine is equipped with a Siemens control system, the smaller GL-350B with a Fanuc. Now the company can machine metal components up to 1.6m diameter x 5m between centres with a maximum weight of 22t.
