Reginson Engineering has installed ten Hyundai Wia vertical machining centres and CNC lathes to meet the demands of an ever-increasing order book for aero-engine components.
The six turning machines (four two-axis L210A models and two E200s with c axis) and four vertical machining centres (F400 models), were available from stock from Ward CNC.
The new machines are being used to perform what Mr. Hatch describes as “fairly straightforward” milling, drilling, boring and turning operations on a variety of workpieces including elbows and T pieces in materials such as stainless steel and Inconel.
“Workpiece complexity aside, however, we have to ensure that every component we produce is machined to the highest levels,” he adds. “So, to ensure we have quality output, we must use quality machines.”
Established in 1995, the privately-owned company also serves customers in the military, nuclear, motor sport, oil and gas, and rail industries.It employs more than 80 staff at the Nuneaton site.
Its growing order book has also led to the establishment of a sub-contract machining facility in Pune, India, where 45 staff are employed, to meet the continual rise in orders specifically from the aerospace sectors.
With BS EN 9100 accreditation, as well as AS9100 Rev D and (Rolls-Royce aero division) approvals, key customers include Pattonair, Meggitt, UTC and Parker Hannifin.
