Shropshire Based manufacturer and distributor GWR Fasteners, which is exhibiting at MACH on Stand 20-520, has added a new Citizen Miyano BNA-42DHY3 7 CNC Machine to its capacity.
This will significantly enhance its ability to produce more complex parts and increase overall production capacity, allowing it to meet the growing demand for UK made fasteners and specialist components.
The new BNA-42DHY has a 42mm bar fed capacity and will shorten GWR’s current cycle times, leading to faster machining of each component. Combined with the new machine’s ease of use and quick change over time, it will result in a more streamlined and efficient manufacturing process.
“We manufacture for a range of different industries which are constantly evolving and developing. This upgrade in equipment means we are able to grow with our customers and supply them with more intricate and tailored solutions.” Says Tom Ellis, Commercial Manager at GWR Fasteners.
The Citizen Miyano was acquired specifically to meet the company’s growing demand for captive screws. These screws are modified in-house by GWR Fasteners and have become increasingly popular due to their unique design, which allows for the disassembly of parts without removing the screw. This feature helps with loss prevention, enhances safety, and allows for easy and repeated accessibility.
