Included among the many highlights of the T W Ward CNC Machinery (Ward CNC) ‘Redditch Revealed’ open house at its Redditch-based Midlands & South showroom was the sale of a Hyundai-Wia LV800RM vertical turning lathe (VTL) to Sentinel Manufacturing.
The VTL was among a wide range of high-quality yet cost-effective machines on show at the two-day event – along with a host of complementary manufacturing solutions from Ward CNC’s technology partners – where a continual stream of production engineering decision-makers saw the machines under power and discussed a myriad of technical issues with Ward CNC’s expert applications engineers.
Sentinel Manufacturing’s purchase of the Hyundai-Wia VTL was agreed between Sentinel’s Managing Director Paul James and its Sales & Marketing Manager Alice Guest with Ward CNC’s Area Business Manager, Chris Smith and Commercial Finance Manager, Chris Cooke.
Commenting that the new VTL will add much-need capacity to meet demands for a new contract from a leading international pump manufacturer, Mr James added that two key factors in the purchase were the machine’s ready availability from stock and the attractive finance option offered by Ward CNC.
