A.Taylor & Son Services
Machining
Unquestionably the fastest growth area within the company, A. Taylor and Son have created a machining facility most fabricators could only wish for.
Originally commissioned in 1993 with just one machine tool - a Giddings and Lewis horizontal borer, the company was keen to compliment it’s core fabrication expertise and exploit potential value added opportunities given a dwindling sub contract machining sector.
Initially the company tackled machining with the same high quality uncompromising approach they applied to fabricated products. This early success created increased customer demand and proved to be the catalyst for the company opening a second site in 2003 dedicated solely to machining.
Today 95% of ‘Taylormade’ fabrications contain some element of machining, which pays testament to the foresight of the board many years ago.
Through steady growth and carefully structured investment, conventional vertical and horizontal borers are now complimented by a host of medium to heavy CNC machine tools. For components requiring milling or horizontal boring A.Taylor boast a 5 axis SHW CNC machining centre, Tos CNC machining centre, 2 metre table Kuraki horizontal borer, Mazak CNC horizontal machining centre and high powered Butler CNC Elgamil with 15 tonne capacity.
Turned components can be produced on a range of lathes up to 1 metre diameter and include a CNC Yamazaki, CNC Binns and Berry, 2 CNC Mori Seiki and a number of centre lathes including Swift, Harrison and a Dugard Champion. Larger components can be machined on conventional and CNC vertical borers with 2 Webster & Bennett sitting alongside a Dorries Sharman VTL up to a maximum diameter of 2 metres.
Higher volume batch products are ideally suited to the company’s Hitachi Seiki and Mazak twin pallet horizontal machining centres along with an array of smaller machines for precision milling, turning and boring.
