Last month, our team visited Tees Components Limited to check out the Shibaura Machine cell. This cell is equipped with vertical boring and turning lathes, specifically the TUE-150(S) and TUE-200(S). These advanced machines are used for precise and efficient machining. The visit highlighted the capabilities and benefits these machines offer, especially for the new generation of engineers.
We had the pleasure of talking with Managing Director Sharon Lane. She shared how the company consistently delivers high-quality products to customers and provides essential skills for the next generation of engineers. Our team explored various manufacturing processes that the company offers, gaining insights into their innovative methods and commitment to excellence.
Shibaura Machine have a reputation for manufacturing powerful, reliable machines and so, unsurprisingly, there are machines in the U.K. still in production after 30 years. This longevity is further enhanced by the high residual value of Shibaura machines, providing the user with a valuable asset. In particular the vertical boring and turning machines can be found manufacturing large components around the U.K. in various sectors such as aerospace, power generation and automotive.
