Hytech Reduces Lead Times

Hyspecs manufacturing arm Hytech, has reduced lead times to 4 weeks for new hydraulic manifold designs. One of the ways this was achieved was to purchase a new vertical machining centre. Mid-way through 2016 Hytech invested in a Doosan 650 and straight away the benefits were clear. The new machining centre allowed for better production planning and removed some of the pressure off the existing machining centres.

Some of the key features of the Doosan 650:

• Highest machining capacity of the class realized with further increased cutting space, table size, allowable load and spindle power/torque
• Minimized vibration and noise due to adoption of direct-coupled spindles (DNM 650HS: built-in motor) 
• Reduced idling time with faster tool change and acc/dec rates of spindle and feed shafts 
• Spindle thermal error compensation function as standard for stable cutting 
• Grease lubrication system as standard for enhanced work environment

The new machine and ISO 9001 certification has been a big achievement helping ensure we complete jobs sooner, leading to happier customers.
