Hemlock Engineering Ltd., based in the United Kingdom, has been operating since 1986 and specializes in CNC turning, slidinghead turning, CNC milling and CNC machining. They have recently added state-of-the-art equipment, The Citizen A32 that boasts up to 30% higher productivity than previous machines.

Hemlock Engineering is dedicated to producing quality products for clients in a timely manner. They currently have over 20 Haas VF2-SS Vertical CNC machines, many of which contain KURT double lock vices or are geared with fourth axis units. CNC (computer numerical control) machining/CNC turning may involve one of their five axis Mikron machines, which are able to surface aluminium at speeds up to 36,000 RPM (Rotations Per Minute). Using CNC machining (also referred to as CNC turning) allows much more control and accuracy over the older manual lathe techniques. And the Hemlock Group makes sure they have all the necessary technology to complete both high-volume orders as well as creating complex components with a one-hit operation on their twin spindle machines. With this obvious dedication to excellence, it should come as no surprise that they have recently added one of the fastest Swiss Lathes in the world to their already impressive machinery line-up. The Citizen A32 delivers superior cutting performance, which will translate into exceptional quality for the Hemlock Group’s customers, and a faster delivery and turnaround timeframe as well.

The Hemlock Group’s dedication to their customers is very apparent. They have invested in the appropriate machinery to be able to ensure desirable higher quality products with slidinghead turning and CNC turning, in less time than might be expected for those quality products. Manufactured parts are checked with their Mitutoyo CMM machine, which can be programmed to meet appropriate specifications. For more attention to detail the Hemlock Group has invested in a TESA VISIO High definition camera that allows small surface features, or surface features that are difficult to reach, to be optically measured for improved accuracy.

Hemlock Engineering also invests in their employees, hiring precision engineers to ensure they have employees with the necessary and best skills to complete customer projects. Some minor projects may even be completed within a day if it is subassembly and the components are held in stock. Hemlock Group also has Doosen and Nakamura CNC lathes, like the Nakamura-Tome WT-150, that can machine up to twelve inches in diameter. The combination of slidinghead turning and CNC turning technologies and highly skilled staff bodes well for the company based out of Nottingham. The latest investment in their business should pay off in better productivity while maintaining high quality standards. Customers should expect to see this company continue to succeed in the slidinghead turning and CNC turning industry and even surpass their previous turnaround timeframes, a wise decision in today’s economic environment. The latest investment shows the company knows what it needs to invest in, in order to keep up with technology and consumer demands while staying true to their high-quality standards.
