With the addition of a DMG DMU 160P DuoBlock milling machine, Delcam, Birmingham, UK, has completed its latest expansion of its unique in-house machining facility - no other global CAD/CAM company operates an equivalent manufacturing operation to prove out its new programs on real jobs with real deadlines. As well as allowing thorough validation of all software before its release, this facility provides an ideal opportunity for companies to test new processes or to produce short runs of prototype parts without any disruption to their day-to-day operations. The new machine will further extend the range of projects that can be undertaken on the Birmingham site. It will complement the existing equipment which includes 5-axis and high-speed machine tools up to 12m in length from Mazak, Huron, Hardinge and Mecof, plus a 3m WFL mill-turn machine. All of the equipment is fitted with Renishaw probing systems to ensure accurate setup and to allow on-machine verification of the components being produced.
