APPH machining division, Beaufort Engineering, buys 7 axis vertical machining centre.

Beaufort Engineering has just installed and commissioned a state-of-the-art Cincinnati FTV5-3700 7 Axis Vertical Machining Centre which will be totally dedicated to manufacturing critical and complex parts for APPH group programmes.

The first parts to be manufactured are the A320 Upper and Lower Side Braces which will utilise the machine to its full potential due to the requirement for high metal removal rates, multiple indexing required, and to maximise the number of operations performed on the minimum number of set ups.

This new machine further increases the capability of Beaufort and complements the previous investment made introducing three WFL Millturn machines over the last 3 years.
