Video: GA Sliding Head machine shop tour

Summary

Rowan from MTD CNC visits GA Sliding Head in Dundee, a sliding head machine shop with over 26 Star sliding head machines. He takes a look at their small batch cells utilising the Star SR-10J to produce some really tiny parts down to .4mm. These machines have excellent repeatability meaning batches of up to 1000 are no problem. He then moves over to their larger batch cells using the Star SR-20J for bigger parts. No material is too much of a challenge for GA Sliding Head with them working in stainless steels, UNS, copper, beryllium copper, and even PEEK. Their software based management system allows GA to sort their materials by colour code. A comprehensive inspection suite finishes the tour with manual shadowgraphs for low volume work, and VICIVISION measurement systems for high volume runs!
