🔷New Machine Install🔷   In May 2024, Wentworth Moulds, a leading manufacturer and repairer of IBM Moulds, EBM Moulds, Stretch Blow Moulds, and Injection Moulds based in Mansfield, UK, enhanced their machining capabilities by investing in a Colchester Storm EH-610 VMC. This 3-Axis, compact boxway vertical machining centre, equipped with the Fanuc 15” 0i-MF Plus control, was selected to meet their growing workload demands with precision and reliability.   Faced with an increasing workload, Wentworth Moulds sought a machine that could boost their machining capacity without compromising on quality. The Colchester Storm EH-610 VMC, known for its precision and performance, was the perfect fit. This machine excels in machining high precision parts, a critical requirement for Wentworth Moulds’ complex mould manufacturing and repair processes.   Wentworth Moulds chose the Colchester Storm EH-610 VMC over competitors due to their longstanding trust in Colchester machines. This purchase marks their third Colchester machine in recent years. Their decision was driven by the consistent quality and reliability that Colchester machines deliver.   "The machine has an ideal small, compact footprint with a large bed for multiple set-ups and part quality. Excellent value for money for a quality good-looking machine," remarked a spokesperson from Wentworth Moulds.   Wentworth Moulds also praised the customer service received from Colchester Machine Tool Solutions. "Very happy with the quality, service, and fantastic support from Colchester," they added. This strong aftercare and maintenance service further solidifies Colchester’s reputation in the engineering and manufacturing sectors.   See the full case study here – https://lnkd.in/e3Dayfha   In need of a new machine or upgrade?
