Wilco Manufacturing Ltd

Single-spindle Autos

This machine type is the workhorse of traditional turned parts manufacture. Being mechanical cam operated machines means that cutting operations can be automatically overlapped. For example the outside form or diameters can be machined at the same time as the centre is being drilled, which optimises the cutting time and reduces the idle time considerably.

The fast cycle times and accuracy of these machine types mean that most components that do not require milling or complex work can be produced in a very cost effective manner.

Wilco employ over 70 of these machines in three distinct capacity groups. This allows us to standardise on machine types within those three groups for capacity planning purposes whilst offering a large physical size capability from 3 – 52mm
