Baker Industries, a Lincoln Electric company, announced that it will be expanding its manufacturing versatility and capacity and offering new in-house capabilities with two new EMCO MECOF UMILL 1800 Universal Machining Centers with HEIDENHAIN TNC 640 controls. The machines enable a new in-house offering, CNC turning services, and will support the growing demand for precision machining of high-performance superalloys and other specialty materials commonly used in aerospace, defense, energy and shipbuilding applications.
The new machines feature automatic tool changers and diverse high-speed 5-axis machining capabilities, including milling, drilling, turning and undercutting, with a large work envelope of 71" x 85" x 50" (XYZ) and the ability to turn parts up to about 98" in diameter. "These advanced features bolster the company's vertical integration, providing customers with a single-source supplier for all of their high-precision and large-scale CNC machining needs," said a company spokesperson.
"This investment expands upon our industry-leading platform and supports our customers' ever-changing needs as requirements evolve and become increasingly complex in long-term growth areas such as aerospace, commercial space and renewable energy," said Brian Baker, General Manager at Baker Industries.
The new machines are expected to be in production by year-end 2023. To learn more about the company's CNC machining capabilities, visit the company's CNC Machining Services website page.
