Rise In Complex CNC Machining At MRT Castings
Increasing numbers of companies are calling on leading foundry MRT Castings to carry out complex CNC machining projects. MRT’s state of the art machining facility is rapidly becoming the hub of the operation as companies outsource ever more challenging projects to the foundry. Andover-based MRT offers full turnkey manufacturing solutions – design, tooling, die casting, CNC machining, surface finishing and assembly. MRT has 13 state of the art CNC machining centres (most of them Brother). They are capable of:
tool changes in less than a second – for greater work efficiency and higher productivity
16,000 rpm machining – for faster and cleaner cutting
4th axis Rotary Tables – reducing work time, lowering component loading costs and improving dimensional accuracy
Renishaw online probing – for superior accuracy, consistency and quality control
twin pallet loading – so operators can position and set up a pallet with one casting while a second is being machined, saving time and boosting efficiency.
MRT’s machining facility is becoming busier as the foundry takes on more sand casting, gravity and pressure die casting contracts from all over the world. The company has seen growth of 62 per cent over the two years to December 2012. Export sales rose by around 40 per cent. Key markets for MRT are the US, Germany, France, Hungary and Ireland. MRT Castings has more than 60 years of experience in producing zinc and aluminium castings. It is accredited to the ISO9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 quality and environmental standards.
