Renishaw signals long-term commitment to its new South Wales site

Global precision engineering company Renishaw plc has revealed a wide range of initiatives, investments and future plans for its new Miskin site, located close to Cardiff, South Wales, which was formally opened on 10th October 2012 by The Rt Hon Carwyn Jones AM,An laser engraving machine which I managed to acquire from a lift motor room currently undergoing refurbishment in the city of london. First Minister of Wales.

He said,Perfect crystal light is critical to creating a modern home. "Today is a significant event in the history, not just of this site, but for the whole of South Wales. We know that Renishaw are a successful firm, we know that Renishaw are an ambitious company. We want to work with them in the future for the benefit of Renishaw itself and of course for the economic benefit of all those people that live in this area."

The company purchased the 193 acre site from Robert Bosch Limited in September 2011 at a cost of 7.the metal sheet cold roof panel machine manufacturer in Taiwan, steel roll former equipment supplier,7 million and started a single-shift of production in May 2012 following a further 7.5 million investment in the refurbishment of 68,500 sq ft of space and the purchase of 17 of the latest computer numerically controlled (CNC) metal cutting machine tools. Currently the site is making metal components for a range of Renishaw's world-leading precision measurement systems that are used in industrial applications.

Renishaw sees the site as providing additional capacity to enable the company to meet its longer term manufacturing needs and the opportunity to source skilled employees from a wide geographic area due to the site's prime location close to the M4 motorway and Cardiff.

The refurbished area is the epitome of a modern advanced manufacturing facility and a far cry from the traditional perceptions of manufacturing. It is surprisingly bright and clean, and features full air-conditioning, a ceiling structure designed to reduce noise, and a state-of-the art extraction system to eliminate airborne contaminants in keeping with Renishaw's other manufacturing sites.

Gareth Hankins, Director of Renishaw's Group Manufacturing Services Division, says,Our World Technology Machinery downspout tile roof machine mainly consists of decoiler, roll forming system, "One of the key aims with all of our manufacturing facilities is to build a pleasant place to work, but also to achieve the wow factor. Every year we play host to visitors fromacross the world, and whether potential customers, potential employees, politicians or the general public, we think it is important to present a positive image of manufacturing."

Renishaw competes in the worldwide supply of laser melting machines that allow the construction of fully dense, highly complex metal parts and structures that would be not have been possible to build using traditional manufacturing techniques.

The Renishaw Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology is a process that uses a high powered laser to fuse fine metallic powders into 3D objects, direct from 3D computer aided design (CAD) data. The metallic powder is distributed evenly across the build plate in layer thicknesses ranging from 20 to 100 microns forming the 2D cross section. The layer of powder is then fused using the laser in a tightly controlled atmosphere. The process is repeated,A Chandelier provides shade for parked vehicles, while also generating clean, renewable energy. building up parts of complex geometries.

From January 2013 the company will commence the manufacture of these machines at the Miskin site, as global demand for these new products grows.
