Investment has seen the introduction of two new CNC machines a Soraluce FL8000 floor type multi-purpose milling and boring machine with a 8m bed length and a Hartford PRO 3150AG double column CNC vertical machining centre with 4th axis. The company’s 4.2m Zeiss Accura II is particularly worthy of note. It provides outstanding performance where high accuracy and measuring speeds are required. Further benefits can be seen in its tolerance for temperature variations while its modular design allows for ongoing upgrades and enhancement throughout its working life. Optional specifications – such as active and passive scanning, single and multipoint, camera and line scanning sensors - can tailor the technology to multiple applications. Business Development Manager Will Melly says that over the next five years MNB, in addition to undertaking steps to achieve certification to AS9100 and ISO 14001, is capable of becoming a “centre of manufacturing excellence” that provides all customers with a “world class precision engineering service”. Moreover, the business doesn’t see quality as subjective opinion, it’s a measurable, tangible trait. “It differentiates us from our competitors,” says Will. “On-time-in-full and quality are seen as key performance drivers at MNB. Our commitment to delivery of quality products is underpinned by our continued investment in the latest CNC machines and CMM inspection equipment.” This coincides with a collaborative approach. “We recognise the importance in developing new and existing relationships and ensure our products and services always reflect our customer’s values.
