Machining
As a further commitment to our customers and markets, Shipham Valves have made further exciting and significant investments in our manufacturing facilities.
In order to support the core objectives of the business, to deliver a top quality product, first time, on time, the addition of two new CNC Machining centres, has ensured increased manufacturing capacity and further improved product quality and repeatability.
CNC Machining Centres
DAH LIH MCH - 630 Twin Pallet Horizontal Machining Centre fitted with Renishaw probe and Fanuc 0iMC CNC System and D`Andrea boring and facing heads - Servicing components for valve sizes ranging from 2" through to 8". Run and set up times have been reduced to increase productivity.
Dorries Scharmann Solon 4, 6 –AXIS, 4 pallet, CNC Horizontal Machining Centre fitted with Renishaw probes and Siemens 850 control system - Sister to the existing Shipham Valves Dorries Scharmann Solon 4, this machining centre will perfectly compliment and run in tandem to increase machining capacity, particularly for large sized valves ranging from 8" up to 42".
These investments have been made in conjunction with our lean manufacturing programme which has been running at the site from early 2007.
