At a time when most manufacturers have been minimising any outlay, Huco Dynatork has continued to invest in its core business. The company is a world leader in the manufacture of miniature flexible couplings and other drive line components. And it is to optimise the making of these products that this Hertford-based specialist has recently installed two more Hardinge Elite CNC lathes.

These new machines will take some of the work previously undertaken on Huco Dynatork’s special purpose machines that were designed in-house and used for the production of a variety of components.

“The main benefit of the new Hardinge machines to Huco Dynatork is substantial savings in set-up time,” explained Managing Director David Lockett. “Typical set-ups are now reduced from hours to minutes with the longest taking up to 45 minutes instead of up to four hours.”

This translates into a number of customer benefits. David Lockett continues: “The machines give us much more production flexibility so we are able to undertake smaller batch work and of course it will allow us to tighten up lead times. So, in short, this investment will enable Huco Dynatork to deliver even better customer service.
