Integrating CNC milling and turning in a single machine is possible. Lorro Precision, specialists in subcontract precision machining in London, has reduced its cycle times and combined two processes into one solution by acquiring a CMZ lathe. The 12,000 rpm milling capabilities of the TA series were a key factor in the decision.
Previously we used one machine for milling operations. With the TA-25-YS-640 we have been able to integrate turning and milling into a single solution, thanks to its 12,000 rpm driven tooling.

CMZ MACHINES:
Lorro Precision is a company specialising in the machining of high-precision components for various industrial sectors. From its facilities in London (United Kingdom), it has consolidated its activity as a supplier of technical parts, working with demanding tolerances and offering solutions tailored to its customers' needs.
Laurence, owner of Lorro Precision, was clear that the incorporation of a CNC lathe was a strategic decision, as the market increasingly demanded small turned components and, to manufacture them, they needed to increase their production capacity.
Lorro Precision carried out milling operations on a 3-axis machine. This workflow presented several drawbacks:
After a technical analysis by the CMZ UK team, the solution that best suited Lorro Precision's needs was a lathe TA-25-YS-640. This configuration allows:
Thanks to the milling capacity of the TA series, operations that previously required the intervention of two machines, are now carried out directly on the lathe, optimising workflow. This type of configuration allows the integration of milling and turning operations in a single machine and is an increasingly common solution in the industry to reduce cycle times.
The addition of the CMZ lathe has enabled Lorro Precision to make a qualitative leap in its production.
During the process of acquiring a new machine for a workshop, visiting the manufacturer's facilities helps to resolve specific questions, assess possible configurations and see the production process first-hand. Lorro Precision had the opportunity to tour CMZ's facilities before acquiring its TA-25-YS-640.
CMZ produces more than 80% of the components of its machines in its own plants, which provides distinctive added value. This comprehensive control of the process reinforces the quality and guarantee associated with the "Made in Europe".
The installation of the machine was carried out directly by the CMZ technical team in the United Kingdom. Attention to detail means taking care of every stage of the process from start to finish: from initial advice to after-sales service. With this in mind, CMZ provides its customers with a free direct hotline that guarantees a rapid response to any need.
Lorro Precision has increased its machine fleet, but above all it has optimised its production process. A step forward in efficiency, versatility and competitiveness by opting for lathes manufactured in Europe with extensive milling capabilities.
LMC opens its doors to tell us about his experience with CMZ cnc lathes. For them, CMZ is not only a machinery supplier, it is a first-class technological partner.
The companies that move the world today started in a garage, in the basement of a house, or... in Steinhagen, in the case of Pentair Jung Pumpen, leading manufacturer of wastewater pumps. As well as their first name, Stefan Sirges and Stefan Sellke also share the same philosophy when it comes to their…
We travelled to Paris to visit the premises of BIC TECHNOLOGIES and meet their Production Manager, Flavien Antz. The visit was exceedingly interesting, and we were able to see first-hand how a world leading company works. They have found the perfect match in CMZ; our company meets all of their needs.…
Christian Meyer is a person who has clear ideas. A man who, like Steve Jobs, started from the garage at home, and has now built a solid company. He considers himself loyal to CMZ's lathes. He is someone who knows how to move in the market and always compares before buying. He describes the difference…
