GTMA SUPPLIERS AT MACH

The UK's leading stockist and manufacturer

of Drill Bushes, Boneham & Turner

Ltd, has continued its investment into a

customer focused future, where putting

the customer at the forefront of every

company process is governing the whole

supply chain.

B&T's priority is to provide 'Precision

Engineered Solutions' precisely as the customer requires,

by creating a team of customer dedicated employees, backed by a

manufacturing facility and supply chain that

allows flexibility and fast turnarounds, but

remains globally competitive. The backbone

of the organisation is its manufacturing

capability and knowledge developed over

96 years.

The latest wave of engineers entered the

business in the last 18 months with a view

to future expansion of the team for the

future. This included the first B&T apprentice for 10 years, two new trainee toolmakers

and two further candidates for grinding

and CNC development. Manager Peter

Boneham explains that "the company looks

to hand opportunities to driven and motivated individuals, providing

a full programme of

skills in milling, turning, grinding and toolmaking, on a full spectrum of CNC and

manual machinery."

The cusomer focus initiative has also seen

the recruitment of an Internal Sales

Manager and a Supply Chain Manager,

both briefed to promote focus on customer

needs. Peter said: "It's a prerequisite of our

main customers that we can offer most

items, standard or special, off the shelf. If

we can't then we pride ourselves on the

ability to turn parts around quickly through

modification or our Fast-Track

service."

The people investment is backed by new

machinery, including finishing grinding

machines, heat-treatment and more laser

etching capacity. Its standard catalogue of

parts is nearly 350 pages, covering the

'Classics' range of Bushes, Pins and associated items as well as components in

Clamping & Fixing, Knobs & Handles,

Positioning & Machine Elements, Press Tool

Components and the Koenig range of

Expanders & Restricters.

NEW WAVE OF FOCUSSED INVESTMENT

CUSTOMER AT FOREFRONT OF SUPPLY CHAIN ACTION

Blum-Novotest will be giving its UK

exhibition debut to its new 3D tool

setting probe TC64-20 at MACH

2014.

The company is supplementing its tool

setting probe series with a high-precision, wireless

system that features BRC

Radio Technology, for tool setting and

tool breakage detection in three axes.

The advantage of BRC technology is

based on each single bit of the radio signal running across

the entire width of the frequency band, thus

making transmission particularly resistant to interference. Data is

transmitted to the radio receiver RC66 quickly and securely.

Just one receiver can be used to control up to six measuring

systems from the extensive Blum radio family. This includes all tool

setting probes and workpiece touch probes, as well as the newly

introduced DIGILOG measuring systems, the bore gauge BG60,

the roughness gauge TC63-RG or the workpiece temperature

measuring device TG81 that will all also be shown the MACH

exhibition.
