Doosan multi-tasking lathe enables military precision

A Doosan multi-tasking lathe has solved a bottle neck problem of a small Devon based precision engineering firm.

The sub-spindle and Y-axis multi-tasking lathe supplied by Mills CNC has allowed Armortek to increase production of its 1/6th scale tanks, armoured cars, half-tracks and field guns.

Director of Armortek, Mark Watkins, says: "Prior to us investing in the new lathe we were relying on an older lathe and three machining centres to manufacture our parts.

"This presented us with capacity problems as some parts, having been first turned on the lathe, were queuing up waiting to be completed on the machining centre."

The multi-tasking lathe with a sub-spindle and Y-axis has helped increase output of the factory which generally has relatively small production runs, but there can be in excess of 300 different and unique component parts in every model tank.
