Harwin, a notable manufacturer of high-reliability interconnect devices and PCB hardware, has announced further developments in its ongoing investment programme at its Portsmouth facility. The company has acquired two advanced machines, the SL-10 and the SR-20RIV Type E sliding head lathes, to enhance its production capabilities.

Both machines are equipped with Step Cycle Pro chip-breaking technology, a feature designed to optimise efficiency and quality during manufacturing processes. This advanced technology is expected to contribute significantly to Harwin’s production precision and operational efficiency.

The new machinery will be installed by service engineers Lionel Wong and Solomon Maragh. The installation is currently underway, with the machines scheduled to enter production next week. This move underscores Harwin’s commitment to staying at the forefront of manufacturing technology and continually improving its product offerings.

Harwin’s ongoing investments in cutting-edge technology demonstrate its dedication to innovation in the manufacturing sector. By enhancing its production line with these advanced lathes, the company aims to meet the increasing demand for its high-quality interconnect solutions and maintain its competitive edge in the market.

Harwin’s headquarters in Portsmouth serves as a central hub for its manufacturing operations. This latest investment solidifies the company’s commitment to the region and its focus on delivering top-tier products to its global customer base.
