Zinc pressure diecasting machine overhauled

Brunel, the Tamworth-based manufacturer of zinc diecastings, metal pressings and bespoke assemblies has fitted an electronic control panel to its DMZ 50t zinc pressure diecasting machine.

Brunel, the Tamworth-based manufacturer of zinc diecastings, metal pressings and bespoke assemblies has recently completed a full overhaul of its DMZ 50t zinc pressure diecasting machine.

The machine - which is now fully functional - has been rebuilt and fitted with an entirely new purpose-designed electronic control panel system (designed and fitted by Ian Clarke Russel, Engineering).

Mike Smith, MD, said, " I am absolutely delighted with the result.

This has resolved a major headache and has much simplified setting times.

Also we have built in some specific features we required - it's turned a problem machine into one of our best machines".

Brunel are a manufacturer of locks, handles, hinges, punched track and bespoke assemblies mainly for the UK window and door manufacturing industry.

Recently Brunel has widened its market into electrical, vehicle and heating components with noteable success.

Brunel is presently in the process of achieving ISO9000 by Aug07 and manages to remain busy despite worldwide competition.

We put our success down to a lean, no nonsense mentality along with a flexible and fast service.

We aim to be simple, lean, quick and clean in our service.

Zinc cobalt plated connectors are availabl

Zinc cobalt plated connectors meet the requirements of Mil-C-26482 series 1 and replace the use of cadmium plating, over which there is some environmental concern.

Aerco now offers rapid deliveries on zinc cobalt plated versions of D38999 series III and AB05 connectors that meet the requirements of Mil-C-26482 series 1.

The investment in this service has been made to meet the growing number of customers showing concern about the environmental implications of using cadmium plating.

As an assembling distributor of the AB05 range of connectors from AB Connectors, Aerco stocks piece parts and assembles zinc cobalt plated AB05s at an assembly facility set up earlier this year at the company's UK headquarters in Horsham.

Aerco also supplies zinc cobalt plated D38999 series III connectors under a special distributor agreement with Deutsch.

Both types can be supplied within five days at highly competitive prices with no MOQs (minimum order quantities).
