Brother Speedio W1000Xd2 Boosts Cycle Times at DPE
Diamond Precision Engineering has put its first 30-taper machine, a Brother Speedio W1000Xd2 supplied by Whitehouse Machine Tools, into its Kelvin Park, Birkenhead machining division. Director Harry Pitt says a mild steel automotive part now runs in three minutes instead of five, saving close to 17 hours on a 500-part order, and an aerospace part went from four operations to one. Rail makes up about half of turnover and stainless pumps about a fifth.
