en.Wedoany.com Reported - UK precision engineering company Accura Engineering has added a Hurco DCX32i double-column milling machine at its Centre of Excellence to enhance large workpiece processing capabilities as part of its strategic investment plan for advanced manufacturing capacity.
This investment aims to meet the growing demands of the UK manufacturing industry. Many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 suppliers face pressure in terms of capacity, lead times, and supply chain resilience. The Hurco DCX32i offers greater flexibility, higher throughput, and reliable machining support for large-scale projects in aerospace, defense, energy, and industrial sectors.
The new machine increases Accura's Y-axis machining capacity from the previous maximum of 1700 mm to 2100 mm, enabling the company to support larger workpieces and more challenging machining applications. Combined with Accura's multi-axis expertise and AS9100-certified processes, this machine achieves precision and consistency in complex, regulated projects. Additionally, weekly operational capacity will increase by approximately 80 machining hours, providing extra flexibility for existing and future project demands.
Richard Hancox, Operations Director at Accura Engineering, stated that the company sees growing demand from customers for reliable large-bed machining capacity in the UK. This investment allows it to support larger and more complex projects while maintaining the quality, flexibility, and lead times customers expect. This investment is part of Accura's broader strategy focused on future-proof manufacturing, automation, and scalable aerospace capabilities. Managing Director Sophie Hallett-Jones added that customers need partners who can respond quickly and deliver consistently, even on large-scale or technically challenging projects. Such investments enhance the company's ability to support critical projects in aerospace, defense, and industrial manufacturing.
The Hurco DCX32i further strengthens Accura's growing machining capabilities, which also include multi-axis CNC machining, wire cutting and electrical discharge machining (EDM), stamping dies, and turnkey manufacturing solutions.
