The next promotion, starting 1 May 2013 and lasting for six weeks, will be on Filtermist extraction units. Says Nick Frampton, Mills CNC's managing director: "The manufacturing performance and productivity of Doosan machines can be increased via the integration of ancillary equipment. "Whether it's a 4th or 5th axis unit for a Doosan machining centre, or a barfeeder for a Doosan lathe or turning centre, or a mist extraction unit or specialist tooling packages, we can deliver the optimum ancillary equipment solution - on time and on budget. "Whilst a majority of our ancillary equipment business is turnkey in nature -occurring when we supply a new Doosan machine tool to customers - we also coordinate and manage a significant number of ancillary equipment retrofit projects every year too." According to the company, the benefits of selecting Mills to handle retrofit requirements include: [] Mills' purchasing power and relationships with ancillary equipment manufacturers/suppliers means it has competitively-priced ancillary equipment in stock – available for immediate delivery and installation [] Mills Service Engineers install (or coordinate the installation of) equipment at a customer's facility, ensuring that the whole operation occurs efficiently and to plan [] Mills can project manage the complete installation; meaning that, for customers, there is only one point of contact [] When ancillary equipment is installed by Mills service engineers, the Doosan machine tool warranty is not affected Concludes Nick Frampton: "Our ancillary equipment promotions are just another example of how Mills is helping customers improve their competitiveness and performance. "To keep up-to-date with the latest offers available, customers should look out for our monthly promotional emailers and check our website www.millscnc.co.uk for the latest (and best) deals."
