British Engines Limited is a high-quality, large capacity sub-contract machining company, established over 100 years ago. They manufacture a wide range of products, from high-precision cable glands, to components of up to 10,500mm x 4,000mm x 1,300mm.
British Engines Limited invested in the Venturion tool presetter from ZOLLER UK. This has allowed them to enhance the precision, quality and consistency of their products whilst maximising the manufacturing machine capacities.
ZOLLER UK delivers world-leading precision of tool-setting, inspection, storage and management solutions, adding improved efficiency and value to any manufacturing process.
Project Brief:
British Engines Limited’s increasing output demand meant they needed their manufacturing machines to be operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. To help maximise shopfloor productivity and guarantee product quality, British Engines Limited decided to invest in offline tool presetting.
British Engines Limited were looking to upgrade their tool presetting solution, and made contact with ZOLLER UK to explore their tool management solutions.
Jonathan Lamb, British Engines Limited Operations Director said:
“British Engines Limited Engineering was established for the growing demand for high-quality, large capacity sub-contract machining provisions. When deciding to invest in offline tool presetting, we created a ‘wish-list’ of tool presetter features that we believed would allow us to optimise the use of our machine tools and ensure the production of high-quality components.”
The Solution:
British Engines Limited invested in the Venturion tool presetter from ZOLLER UK to expand and maximise the capacity of their machine tools to achieve greater productivity across their manufacturing processes.
The Venturion tool presetter is ideal for every CNC production environment with an enhanced structural integrity, maximum flexibility and high-level precision. It offers enhanced performance, resulting in increased productivity, as well as significant time and cost savings.
“Before commencing production, we approached ZOLLER UK, mindful of our milling machine’s capabilities and capacity. Not only were ZOLLER UK able to adhere to our challenging requirements, but the Venturion tool presetter has increased our overall machine ‘up-time’,” said Jonathan.
The Benefits:
Investing in Venturion tool presetter from ZOLLER UK has allowed British Engines Limited to advance their manufacturing processes and upgrade their old machines to the latest technologies. British Engines Limited is now able to ensure full quality, accuracy and traceability of their tooling.
Jonathan explained the benefits of British Engines Limited’s new investments:
“Offline tool presetting has brought about a multitude of benefits for us. Because of our success and ever-expanding order book, our machine tools were high demand. The ZOLLER Venturion tool presetter has allowed us to unlock machine capacity and has given us a significant amount of additional machining time. The ability to preset our tools offline, means we can expand our capabilities and product offerings, providing high-quality, large capacity sub-contract machining in-house.”
