Despite the advent of 4th and 5th axis machining centers and multifeed lathes which can be seen side-by-side on McGeoch’s Engineering Shop Floor, recent investment has also seen the arrival of more traditional machinery including a Universal Turret Milling Machine.
This latest addition to McGeoch’s manufacturing capabilities offers the perfect and flexible solution for drilling, milling and boring operations. It incorporates a huge table size, 3 axis digital readout, a separate power feed to all three axes, 3hp variable speed head, power feed to quill and built-in coolant. It is a heavy duty and sturdy machine, rated for continuous use. The manufacturer precision-engineered it using Meehanite castings and hardened bed ways, which guarantee a much longer service life.
Highly skilled engineers met accurate engineering tolerances during the machine’s development and manufacture. McGeoch’s Dave Lewis is now demonstrating those skills by successfully operating the machine since its installation.
Dan Asprey, our new Head of Operations, introduced the Universal Turret Milling Machine as one of three new machines. These machines further complement and streamline shop floor operations.
