We hosted our annual open house event on Wednesday 6th and Thursday 7th November 2024 at our European Technology Centre in Elland, West Yorkshire. Following the success of our inaugural open house event in October 2023, we decided to host another one to showcase various new products.
The open house, which had the name of ‘Multi-Axis Machining Event’, was an unmissable showcase of our latest products and innovations. Our latest CNC machine offering was on show, including the all-new Tornado Sub-Spindle with Y-axis machining and Bridgeport 5-axis VMCs.
The new Tornado SL25 MSY machine, with its integrated sub-spindle and Y-axis, offers unparalleled productivity and versatility. Its advanced 5-axis single-hit machining allows manufacturers to complete complex components with extraordinary efficiency. By automatically transferring the workpiece from the main spindle to the sub-spindle, the machine ensures seamless turning, milling, and drilling on both sides of the component, drastically reducing cycle times.
The addition of Y-axis machining further enhances its capabilities, enabling precise off-centre milling for keyways, flats, and contoured surfaces, making the Tornado SL25 MSY an essential asset for achieving superior accuracy and efficiency in any production environment.
Legendary machine tool manufacturer Bridgeport is releasing a new range of 5-axis VMC, which are to be distributed exclusively in the UK by Colchester Machine Tool Solutions. The high specification 5-axis VMCs are extremely compact and rugged CNC milling machines; developed for applications that require both the utmost in speed and accuracy.
Our full product range, including our renowned conventional lathes, manual & CNC turret mills & Lightning laser marker was on display, with many live demos running throughout the event. Our trusted partners Siemens, LNS, Zerocob & Cutwel were also present throughout the event.
