Mills CNC to Put One-Hit Machining Centre Stage at Leamington Spa Innovation Day

11 Multi-Tasking Machines on Show

The event is aimed squarely at UK and Irish component manufacturers, with a clear agenda: increasing productivity and improving process efficiencies. The unifying theme across the machine line-up is one-hit machining — completing parts in a single setup rather than moving work between multiple machines and operations.

Headline Act: 5-Axis Mill-Turn

The headline exhibit will be a Heller HF 5500 FLEX horizontal simultaneous 5-axis mill-turn machine. As a simultaneous 5-axis mill-turn platform, it sits squarely at the heart of the event's one-hit machining message, combining turning and milling capability in a single machine.

Supporting Line-Up

Alongside the Heller machine, ten DN Solutions' machine tools will also be showcased at the event, rounding out the 11-machine programme on display at the Technology Campus.

For manufacturers weighing up whether multi-tasking technology justifies the investment, the event offers a direct look at the machines themselves rather than brochure specifications. The focus on process efficiency suggests Mills CNC is positioning one-hit machining not as a niche capability, but as a practical route to shorter lead times and reduced work-in-progress for component producers across the UK and Ireland.
