The latest is a TC 400 turning centre at the Swillington, Yorkshire subcontractor.
The TC 400's 43hp spindle motor gives DAS greater metal removal capability and shorter cycle times, with extra turned diameter and bar capacity over its existing machines. It runs the Siemens 828D control with a 15” touchscreen control, which the shopfloor team adapted to within hours.
The purchase extends a relationship that began with an XYZ Vulcan turning centre, still holding tolerances after 23 years. Its newest TC 400 runs the Siemens 828D touchscreen control and was producing parts within an hour of commissioning.
