For machining pattern board, aluminium mould tools and components made from composite materials, Eynsham-based Lentus Composites has installed a Sahos Dynamic bridge-type machining centre with 5m X-axis.
Paul Hinchcliffe, managing director of Asquith Butler, talks about the company’s latest machine tools designed to machine composites and other lightweight materials.
With their low mass moving elements, rigid construction and wide range of spindle speed and power options, Sahos 5-axis machining centres from the Czech Republic are ideal for producing components from light materials.
New, large capacity machine tools from Sahos (Czech Republic) and Zayer (Spain) will be launched at MACH by Asquith Butler. It will also present CNC, high-speed machining and sawing centres from Mubea (Belgium) at MACH 2016. The firm was appointed sole sales and service agent in the UK and Ireland for all three machine manufacturers shortly before its appearance at the last MACH show.
