Twin Spindle, Twin Turret CNC Centre

A new CNC Turning Centre is being procured in order to align David Paull (CNC) Engineering Ltd production capacity to its aerospace customer's requirements. We are specifically seeking a new CNC equipment based on a twin spindle, twin turret turning centre which has a 65mm through-spindle bar capacity and can hold 12 driven tools in each of its turrets, with an additional driven tool machining power of up to 5.5kW. This configuration of the upper and lower turret construction provides 4-axis machining capability as well as other combinations available on either spindle. The opposed spindle layout should contribute significantly to cycle time reductions. The purchase of this item is part of a grant funded application process and therefore the procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project as a whole. We will compare tenders received on a compliance basis only and award the contract to the lowest compliant bid. The ITT documentation can be found as an attachment to this Notice
