Guitar Manufacturer is Tuned-in To 5-axis Productivity With hyperMILL®
Rapidly approaching 20 years of business, Hi-Spec Precision Engineering Ltd has evolved from a small start-up business to an established subcontract manufacturer that has fully embraced the latest automation and CNC technology with robots and multi-pallet 3 to 5-axis machining centres to drive growth and productivity.
The Market Overton company has evolved rapidly over the last decade to encompass everything from conventional and CNC machining to grinding, lapping, honing, welding and fabrication, hydraulic pressure testing and assembly with 15 CNCs now on the shop floor. The latest addition to the shop floor was a Matsuura MX330 10-pallet 5-axis machining centre. To drive this investment, Hi-Spec invested in CAM software from OPEN MIND Technologies.
Custom precision-crafted electric guitars
The workload at Hi-Spec encompasses everything from agriculture and aggregate, construction, motorsport, fluid power and electric guitars. The company is renowned in the music industry manufacturing custom precision-crafted electric guitars (www.graingerguitarparts.com). The components at Hi-Spec include hydraulic valves and cylinders through to equipment for the quarry and aggregate industry, producing anything from prototypes and small batches up to production runs of 10,000+ – with such a diversity in both component types and volumes, a 5-axis solution with a powerful CAM system was a necessity.
