Mazak machine tools for golf-trolley manufacture

Standel Dawman is using Mazak CNC machine tools for component manufacture and the machining of mould and dies for plastic mouldings.

The latest Mazak machines to be installed are two Mazak Vertical Centre Nexus 410A-II vertical machining centres.

Manufacturer of golf trollies, Standel Dawman, says that two Mazak Vertical Centre Nexus 410A-II machining centres enable it to remain worldmarket competitive.

These machines feature a 900 x 410mm table that is large enough to accept the mould tools that the company machines.
The 36m/min rapid traverse rates and 12,000rev/min, 18.5kW spindle are suitable for the volume manufacture of components such as hinges and various other components found in the construction of Greenhill golf trolleys.
The majority of the components is programmed at the machine using the Mazatrol conversational programming language contained in the Matrix Nexus control system.
Offline programming is only used for the more complex mould tools.
