This batch of complex machined components, weighing 3kg each, was produced from SAE660 bronze by precision turning and four-axis milling. Six of the diverter valve bodies are used on one big assembly at the Yorkshire headquarters of a national manufacturer of equipment for the water and other industries. These parts can also be produced from stainless steel occasionally for certain applications. Having recently ordered a five-axis milling machine, we hope to be able to produce these sort of components in fewer operations, providing benefits to the customer with price and lead times.
