Multi Spindle Technology Puts Acro in Pole Position for High Volume Component Manufacture
Clipped to the Drawing Board by Administrator  
Did you know Trivia - (UK) Precision engineering company Acro are celebrating the 8 millionth component to be made on one of their multi-spindle machines.

The machine is a Wickman multi-spindle automatic lathe that they have owned for the past seven years. Acro uses this technology for their high volume orders, due to its very fast cycle time and consistent quality of production.

"These machines are really 6 machines in one,” said Fred Pain, General Manager. “Being able to undertake a number of machining processes at the same time gives them a very fast cycle time and a low cost of production. For one customer we have been machining 800,000 stainless steel components each year. Multi-spindle technology is very much key to our high volume production strategy.”
