Stonehill Engineering recently took delivery of a fourth 5 axis CNC machine, bringing the total number of machines to 15.
The new 5 axis machine, from Mikron AgieChamilles, increases our capacity even further as the 7-pallet station gives us the ability to run ‘lights out’ overnight and during the weekend. It also means that Stonehill Engineering now has three identical machines.
This new CNC Machine gives Stonehill Engineering the potential to apply the SMED (Single-Minute Exchange of Dies) principle of running identical parts on each pallet and each machine, bringing the next level of flexibility and heightened efficiency to the business and to our customers.
