Herker Positioned to Meet Increased Demand Due to Economic Recovery

May 2, 2011 - PRLog -- Herker Industries has poised itself to meet increased customer demand due to the economic recovery by making another investment in its equipment portfolio.  The most recent addition is a Nakamura-Tome WT 250II state-of-the-art CNC turning center proven to increase productivity and decrease milling and turning production costs. The opposed twin-spindle twin-turret multi-tasking machine achieves faster production by improving throughput, minimizing set-up time and eliminating operations. With consolidating machining, simultaneous production is executed within one turning center, increasing capabilities and reducing cycle time:

- Up to 29.5kW cutting power available for turning shaft-work with synchronized spindles.
- Driven-Tool Motor for heavy cutting with small tools.
- 4-axis machining as well as various other machining combinations possible on either spindle
- Upper / lower turrets and opposed two-spindle construction balances and reduces cycle time.
- Maximum capacity of 48 fixed tools.

This machine is ideal for the manufacture of various types of parts in small or large batches.  By staying on the cutting edge of equipment technology, Herker is able to provide higher quality parts with quicker turnaround and pass the cost savings on to its customers.
