Two fixed head CNC turning centres - to be shown at the UK's MACH 2006 exhibition - have already been sold, informs a UK supplier, which said the machines will bedelivered after the show. MACH 2006 is already guaranteed to be a success for Macro CNC. Two of the Miyano fixed head turning centres that will appear on stand 5538 have already been sold.

To be delivered to customers immediately after the exhibition, the largest machine, a Miyano ABX-51TH2 two spindle, 51mm capacity three-turret turning centre with two Y-axes is capable of processing high-end parts efficiently in a single set-up.

This machine will be delivered to Mann Engineering of County Wexford, Ireland.

The second machine, a Miyano BNJ-42SY will be delivered to HS Rowe and Partners.

The 42mm capacity two spindle, two turret compact turning centre with Y-axis will be delivered to the company's Kingswinford facility in the Midlands.

The orders for both machines highlight the market trend that sees subcontract manufacturers requiring rigid fixed head turning centres with exceptional capability and a capacity to manufacture larger workpieces.

Mann Engineering, a subcontractor, designer and manufacturer of bar feed systems and bespoke systems for special manufacturing applications has purchased its second Miyano ABX-51TH2 to improve its productivity and manufacturing capabilities.

The current Miyano ABX-51TH2 at Mann Engineering has enabled the company to complete components in one-hit.

The third turret on the machine has provided the company a productivity improvement of 20%.

With such impressive results, the company was intent upon buying yet another Miyano from its Irish agent Premier Machine Tools.

Whilst HS Rowe, a subcontract precision turned components manufacturer will acquire its Miyano BNJ-42SY machine to compliment its current range of fixed head turning centres.

Following the purchase of a Miyano BNJ-42S in 2005, Steven Tyler of HS Rowe commented: 'The BNJ-42S has been a tremendous machine and as part of our philosophy of 'value adding contributions per employee head', the introduction of Miyano machine tools to increase productivity has been instrumental.' At MACH 2006, HS Rowe will also be discussing with Macro CNC the possibilities of introducing automated machines from the LZ series.
