Central to exhibits on the Mollart Engineering stand at MACH 2016 will be examples drawn from its capability as a precision machining and assembly, subcontractor operating from its two sites in Chessington, Surrey and Resolven in South Wales.

Mollart, which recently gained AS 9100 (BS EN 9100) Aerospace Quality Management certification has grown its customer base, following some £2.5 million investment in the last two years, across the aerospace and defence,

vehicle manufacture, marine and sub-sea, oil and gas, medical, optical and semiconductor sectors.  Here, in addition to its world-leading deep hole drilling expertise, projects have included ‘added value’ in cleanroom assembly, multi-axis turn-milling, drilling, welding and fabrication and specialised finishing processes.

Indeed, a recent contract to supply batches of complete assemblies produced in the ISO 7 (Class 10,000) standard cleanroom area at the Resolven plant to the UK semiconductor industry, this demonstrated the success of drawing on internal expertise to ‘re-engineer’ two of its seven installed Mazak Integrex multi-operational turn-mill centres.  As a result, previous methods involving nine operations including turning on large capacity lathes, milling and drilling on vertical machining centres (VMC) and using a gundrill were combined into just four operations on the Mazak machines, thus increasing the overall utilisation on the machine tools involved by almost a third.
