Lorro Precision, based in London, has significantly reduced its cycle times by consolidating two operations into a single machine. By investing in a CMZ TA-25-YS-640, the company addressed several operational inefficiencies, including manual adjustments, short cycle inefficiency, and the need for greater automation.
Previously, Lorro Precision relied on a 3-axis machine for milling operations, which presented numerous challenges. By integrating both turning and milling operations within the CMZ machine, the company achieved greater efficiency. The machine features tooling capable of 75 Nm and 11 kW, reaching speeds of up to 12,000 rpm, allowing it to operate in continuous duty. This capability was pivotal in Lorro Precision’s decision to upgrade.
Additionally, the machine’s integrated oil-cooled heads, which are free of belts and pulleys, contribute to less runout, reduced noise, and improved surface finishes. These advancements represent a qualitative leap in Lorro Precision’s production capabilities.
This enhanced setup underscores the growing trend towards automation and integrated solutions in precision component machining. By utilising CMZ’s innovative technology, Lorro Precision demonstrates an effective strategy to overcome traditional manufacturing challenges, positioning itself at the forefront of the industry.
