"We have been working with Ward CNC for many years, working with the applications engineering department to machine/manufacture items such as tool posts, to accom- pany new machine (lathe) sales," Mr. Leonard says. "In this time, we have become familiar with the ranges of machines that Ward CNC held in stock, and when we needed CNC capacity, Ward CNC was the logical choice. e Hartford VMC was our initial installation, followed by the Hyundai-Wia SKT-300 and L300C then, most recently, the L400LMC." Many of the components produced on these machines are one-offs or in small batches of no more than 10 parts. However, one ongoing large contract for the volume machining of a family of axles demonstrates how the Ward CNC-supplied machines combine. Produced from EN24T billets, the axles range in size from 4-inch diameter to 11 inches long and 5-inch diameter to 24- and 37-inches long. All three sizes are turned to diameter, then, on the shortest version, a grease nipple hole is drilled and a 0.6-inch wide by 0.8-inch deep cross slot is machined by the SKT-300. As each machine has been installed and put into service, its reliability has been noted. Subsequently, each time a CNC portfolio needed to be expanded, there was no worry about the quality of the machines or the backup from Ward CNC, nor the cost effectiveness of the packages offered.

As CE moves forward, it will continue to receive contracts that remain a secret to the public. Regardless, Ward CNC has proven to be a reliable supplier of machines for executing these contracts. is kind of working relation- ship between local shops and vendors is a pathway to a successful business. It's borne fruit for CE, and that's why Ward CNC is the logical choice for turning machines.
