SNK RB2NM 5 face machining centre

The latest investment news at Harper and Simmons. We are in the process of installing an SNK RB2NM 5 face machining centre. One of only 9 in the UK, it has a machining envelope of 2.75m x 2.000m x 1.500m. With 40 tool changer and twin auto pallet changing, spindle up time can be optimised with full lights out machining capability. A 300mm diameter quill and full control over the gantry bridge positioning ensures a very rigid setup. Combining this with excellent positional accuracy, we have the facility to produce high quality, accurate forming die faces in relation to pillars and bushes. The 5-sided facility allows easy machining of side features such as clamping slots, lifting holes and guide pads.
