We have recently installed a new HAAS Machining Centre into our operations.
To continually build on our world class tooling reliability and streamlining operations here at Batten & Allen, we have recently purchased and installed a new HAAS Machining Centre at our factory.
The new high speed Machining Centre will not only help increase accuracy, but also reduce lead times significantly for multi-sided and complex parts, helping us to greatly reduce lead times of high quality tooling, precision modular tooling for our customers with the added benefits of cost saving and productivity.
The new machine will also allow us to start the stamping process sooner whilst simultaneously increasing production output, therefore helping to achieve our overall focus of providing industry leading Engineering Reliability to all customers who use Batten & Allen.
Vince Badminton, Senior Manufacturing Manager, commented: ‘We’re very pleased to have been able to invest in equipment in the tool room and throughout the factory in what has been a challenging year for everybody, the new machining centre will improve lead times for our customers and will take us into new capability areas including high speed milling of forms and hardened tool steels.’
