Brough in the Forefront

Abstract

A very recent addition to the machining capacity at The British Aerospace (Military Aircraft) Brough unit is the Matsuura FX‐5 high speed vertical twin pallet machining centre which was introduced last year to the UK market by Beaumont Machine Tools. The FX‐5 represents a new concept which is capable of spindle speeds of 20,000 RPM and feed rates of 15 metres per minute. For the next few months the machine will be under development and evaluation to determine the benefits and techniques of most use to the aerospace industry.
