Iscar has delivered to Benham Manufacturing three Mazak five-axis work centres with pallet-loading and gun-drilling capabilities, mainly to help it keep pace with its aerospace-related output.

Benham also bought the Matrix tool-management system from Iscar.

Benham's ability to effectively engage its skilled CAD/CAM and online programming capability allows it to execute effective machining processes, utilising a range of high-quality three, four and five-axis machining centres.

The multi-axis machining capability of Benham's mill-turn work centres allows the completion of all machining processes from raw material to a finished work-piece in a single set up.

This advanced ability provides customers with both a cost-effective manufacturing solution and reduced component-delivery times.

The company's turning work centres allow the efficient production of large- and small-batch production runs that require conventional two-axis and light three-axis machining.

With fine finishing processing carried out in a temperature-controlled environment, Benham Manufacturing was able to undertake CNC external grinding, conventional internal and external cylindrical grinding and surface-grinding honing.

Benham can carry out complex assembly routines that require a clean environment and " id="gwProxy" type="hidden"/>
