Makino D Series Reduces Stress at Waddell Engineering

David Waddell, from Waddell Engineering’s recent purchase of a Makino D300 was all about minimising set-up times.

“I originally purchased this machine to minimise set-up times for our die machining processes, we needed to improve existing efficiencies and turn around times. This new machine is now dedicated to all our die work.

“We have set up the machine so we can put the die on and assign the program and the machine runs itself. We can have a new job set up within 10 minutes, which means really fast turn around times for our customers.

“It means our other machines can now tackle other work and allow our business to grow and diversify.

So why a Makino?

“We already have a Makino D500 and we are happy with the support we get from Headland and Makino so it was a simple decision really.

“It has a 12-station pallet stacker with multiple fixtures, large capacity ATC (124 tools) and all associated software to support unmanned operation.

“It’s great as having this machine all set up and ready to go certainly reduces stress on our operators and better service to our customers.”
