Prodesign Machining Centers

What is a CNC Machining Centre?

A CNC machining centre, also known as a computer numerical control machining centre, is an automated machine tool used for various machining operations such as milling, drilling, tapping and boring. Market leaders, such as John Ford, offer multiple options to fit the needs of your business. From vertical to horizontal and 5-axis machining centres, you can benefit from CNC machining centres that work on different axes for higher accuracy when creating your components.

Powerful spindles mean you can produce almost anything. This high-speed machining allows for even the toughest of materials to be cut to your required measurements without compromising accuracy. Whether you need end mills, drills or taps, the automatic tool changer offers a more efficient production process, reducing cycle times.

How do Prodesign Machining Centres Work?

To achieve highly accurate products, a CNC control system is used to programme the machining centre to your requirements. Once the workpiece is securely mounted into the CNC machining centre, the appropriate cutting tools are selected and the spindle will begin its machining processes to produce a highly-quality finished product.

What is the Difference Between a Machining Centre and a Turret Lathe?

DTS UK Ltd is a proud supplier of John Ford Prodesign machining centres and turret lathes, with a wide selection to browse online now. But how do they work, and what is the difference between the two?

Machining centres hold the workpiece in place and move the tools to remove material. In comparison, turret lathes work by rotating the workpiece and are designed to create identical and often interchangeable parts. These CNC machining centres offer automatic tool changing for efficient and accurate parts production, and you can ensure premium-quality work.

Features of our Prodesign Machining Centres

These machining centres are built using a one-piece cast, box guideways and heavy-duty rollers. All of these elements ensure stability when machining and offer the engineers the best in a precision machine tool.

The VMC range is one of the main series of machining centres within the Prodesign collection. These particular machining centres are built with four guideways for extra rigidity. A ZF gearbox equipped with high torque is also utilised to tackle the most advanced materials.
