**3 times the productivity** 🙌💪 “We’d have only made 25,000 parts by this point using our previous method” What a start to 2025 for Technic Engineering, their first step into Sliding Head Technology and they’re absolutely smashing it, our Hanwha Corporation XE26 has only been installed/running for 5 weeks and 75,000 parts have already been made and supplied to their happy customer! Its always pleasing to follow up and see your customers embracing and getting incredible results from their machine tool solutions 🙌 Dugard Eric Dugard Colin Thomson Neil Curtis #dugard #hanwha #slidinghead #precision #processimprovements

A double RAM on a 100kW spindle? Just another day here at 謙耀工業股份有限公司KENYOU Ind.Co.,Ltd. We've seen so much of the assembly and production process of these multi-tasking machines. As well as a live cutting demo on a train wheel on one of their flagship machines. The VT-1623FDC has double table motors and two independent tools, hitting a whopping 100kW power available on the turning spindle. We were also able to watch the Kenyou engineering team hand scraping both the cross-slide carriages and the ram-housing. Thank you so much for the hospitality and opportunity to see these machines being made Sandy Cheng. TAITRA Global (Taiwan External Trade Development Council)

This week, I had the opportunity to film my first video featuring an IBARMIA machine from Dugard. The IBARMIA ZVH 45/L3000 STAR is an impressive piece of engineering! Watching Cutting & Wear utilize it to manufacture complex components for the oil and gas industry highlighted the machine’s advanced capabilities and the benefits of 5-axis machining. The addition of a NIKKEN Kosakusho Europe Ltd rotary table further enhanced efficiency, making part production smoother and faster. #engineering #cnc #machine #machining #engineer #machinist #india Paul Jones, Joe Reynolds, Karl Creamer, Nathan Ray, Tony Bowkett, Eric Dugard, Paul Dugard, Shona Campbell. #shorts #theukmachinist #youtube #instagram Enara Barandiaran Fernández

⚙️ This machine has so many tools we’ve lost count… What is Dugard trying to demonstrate with a machine like the Hanwha XDI 32? Way more flexibility and quick changeovers! It’s not about using all the tools on one component, the Hanwha XDI 32 offers a high number of tools so you can get onto the next job as quickly as possible. If you’re a subcontractor with a lot of low-volume work, this machine can help you quickly adapt from simple parts to complex parts as long as you’ve got the same bar size.
