Deep hole drilling and specialist sub-contract company Mollart has ordered an Integrex e-500 H multi-tasking machine, with 3m capacity, to machine complex parts after gundrilling.
Multi-tasking machine tool ordered at MACH 2006 deep hole drilling and specialist sub-contract company Mollart has ordered an Integrex e-500 H multi-tasking machine, with 3m capacity, to machine complex parts after gundrilling. Yamazaki Mazak's MACH exhibition success continues with the confirmation of a substantial order from deep hole drilling machine manufacturer and specialist sub-contract company Mollart . The order is for an Integrex e-500 H multi-tasking machine, with 3m capacity, which will be used in Mollart's extensive sub-contract facility at Chessington.

Its main role will be to machine extremely complex components in a single operation, after the preliminary gundrilling operations.

These components are part of a recently won contract from one of Mollart's customers in the oil and gas sector.

With some of the components measuring up to 2m in length repositioning for multiple operations is time-consuming and costly.

By using the Integrex e-500 H these costs are eliminated and, more importantly, Mollart will be able to guarantee the positional accuracy and concentricity of the multi cavity bores that are a feature of these particular components.

Guy Mollart, Mollart's managing director, said: 'We won the contract to manufacture these components on the strength of our ability to deliver on time and to the highest quality standards.

The Integrex e-500 H will enable us to maintain that business as we can reduce cycle times and lead times, thanks to the machine's ability to complete all operations in a single hit.' He added: 'However, the most important benefit is the fact that single hit machining enables the positional accuracy of the many features of these components to be maintained.

This would be extremely difficult to achieve if using conventional multi-operation techniques.'
