Aircraft Component Manufacturer Opts for Flat‐Bed Turning Machines and Operator Programming

Abstract

THE inclined‐bed turning machine is almost universally adopted throughout industry, but the flat‐bed design still has its place in modern manufacturing. For example, Dowty Rotol in Gloucester has invested over £700,000 in eight flat‐bed, computer‐controlled turning machines from Glidemeister UK Ltd, Luton, to produce precision components for military and civilian aircraft, and defence equipment.
