FANUC drive systems achieve 25% improved cycle times for Mollart Engineering

The multi-axis machine has been equipped with FANUC drives, motors and CNC controls, and is ideally suited to high-volume, micro-drilling applications that require extreme accuracy.

Ian Pettit, sales director at Mollart Engineering, said: “When we first acquired the VDM, it was clear that the machine had enormous qualities, but needed significant upgrades to the drives and CNC in order for it to reach its full potential in the marketplace.

He continued: “We’ve worked with FANUC for more than 25 years. We believe that, together, we have now developed a best-in-class precision micro-drilling machine that is easy to programme, highly productive and can be easily retrofitted with robotic automation.”

Andrew Armstrong, sales and marketing director at FANUC UK, added: “FANUC CNC is the most popular CNC in the world, which means that programmers will feel comfortable with the programming language and its capabilities – all of which help to deliver a more efficient production environment.”
