Tornos pumps productivity into Allspeeds
As a world leading manufacturer of sub surface wire & rope cutting tools, sub surface sucker rod pumps and lightweight hydraulic jacks for the military, aviation, rail, bridging, oil & gas, marine and demolition industries, Allspeeds Ltd has a component list of over 18,000 parts that are incorporated into its various product ranges and assemblies. With such a diverse range of parts, the Accrington based company has recently acquired a Tornos Delta 20 turning centre to eliminate bottlenecks with its production of small turned components.
Aerospace supply chain company selects Tornos Gamma for new project
Rugby based Technoset has been actively involved in the aerospace supply chain since the mid 1990s and has seen huge changes in the way the industry has reinvented itself since then to compete in the very demanding, technically and commercially, world of the aerospace industry.
Tornos delivers logical solution to Unicut
Running its machine shop 24 hours a day to accommodate existing business and an influx of new contracts, Unicut Precision has now acquired two Tornos Gamma turning centres to service its influx of new business and resolve potential capacity issues.
Tornos opens up capacity at Machined Component Systems
Steering its way through a relentless recession and coming out the other side with remarkable success has been a difficult journey for Redditch based Machined Component Systems (MCS) ; a journey that according to Managing Director Mr Warren Gray has tested and proven the true character of the staff, the management and the company’s ability to work closely with its customers. The resulting success has seen the company acquire six machine tools in 2011, with the latest acquisitions being two Tornos CNC turning centres.
Tornos Supports Growth for Precision Metrology Manufacturer
As a long standing Tornos customer, it was instinctive for Solartron Metrology to turn to the leading supplier of sliding head turning centres when its workload and component complexity demands changed. Known as the world leader in the design and manufacture of precision dimensional and position measurement transducers and instrumentation, Solartron acquired its first Tornos machines, three Elector 16 turning centres in 1981. And with the machines standing the test of time with regards to production quality and reliability, the Swiss machine tool manufacturer has once again provided a solution by supplying a Deco 10 and Delta 12/5 in May 2011.

Starting a machine shop at the age of 24, in the run up to a recession undoubtedly shows the desireof Hi-Spec Engineering Ltd’s Director Mr Darren Grainger to run his own business. However, renting a unit,buying his first three manual machine tools for a total of £3,500 and building the business whilst workinga full time post at another company shows the maturity and determination to succeed.
Westwind reduces subcontract costs With Tornos investment
As the world’s leading and largest specialist designer and manufacturer of air bearing spindles, Westwind Air Bearings is enjoying significant growth levels across many of its spindle sectors. To support this growth, Westwind has undertaken an investment program to bring the production of jets, and a number of additional small machined parts in-house fromsubcontractors.
Tornos Swiss DT 26 delivers 80% cycle time reductions at CTPE
A leading subcontract supplier to the healthcare, medical and scientific sectors has seen cycle times cut by 80% in some instances as a result of investing in its first sliding-head turning centre – a seven-axis Tornos Swiss DT 26. Previously relying on fixed-head turning centres, the introduction of the Swiss DT 26 has also eliminated the need for second operations, leading the company to anticipate a rapid return on its investment.
