Micron Subcon recently invited mtd.network to review their new machine. Aware that continuous investment is key to keeping the business competitive they installed a Nakamura AS 200 with very close support from ETG. Not only was the price right but there were a number of other deciding factors that helped them make the decision including; The close support offered by ETG Addition of a high end bar feed A very keen price An extremely compact footprint John Fossey, production manager said ‘Having looked at a number of machines, not only did the Nakamura tick all the boxes, ETG actually added some extra boxes we hadn’t thought of. This machine gives us the ability to undertake a number of operations in one go; reducing cycle times by c.30%’. This, combined with their previous purchase of a Matsuura H.Plus – 300, gives them the added benefit of lights out machining that keeps them at the forefront of the industry.
