John Cable, Managing Director of C&M Precision Ltd, explains why the Citizen M32 was selected to manufacture 3000 tiny aluminium connectors headed to the motorsport industry.

“Despite being smaller than a fingertip, this component packs a number of complex features into a very small space. The Citizen M32 offered huge flexibility, making full use of both Y-axes throughout the machining process.”

Prismatic Parts Feature - ENGINEERING CAPACITY LIMITED
…………..

John Cable describes the machining route for a prismatic part C&M is currently producing:

“The bar is held stationary in the spindle, faced and parted off. We machine round the outside, drill and tap holes, turn it over, drill the back side and deburr it.

Normally that would be a two-operation job as you still have one side to machine. However you look at it, if you are producing it on a machining centre you have to flip it over at some point. We have the part machined on five sides still attached to the bar and then we can pick it up with the sub-spindle, part it off, finish off the back and while we are starting the next component on the main spindle.”

Congratulations to Howard Sheldon, winner of our C&M Precision Japanese sushi set competition.

Howard guessed 2000 components and was the closest to the actual total of 1967.

A big thank you to everybody who entered and took part while John and Angela Cable visited Citizen Machinery in Japan.

Howard’s authentic Japanese sushi set will be sent out next week.

We’d also like to wish Howard every success with his precision engineering business moving forward.
