Universal bed-type and travelling column CNC milling centres and high speed, 5-axis bridge-type machining centres, manufactured by CME, Spain, are now being marketed by Ward Hi-Tech. CME heavy duty milling centres have X-axis travels from 1400mm to 10m and can be supplied with automatic universal milling heads, automatic tool changers, built-in rotary tables and high speed electro-spindles. According to ward Hi-Tech's UK sales manager, Mike Burke, there are over 40 different models in the CME range.

He says: 'We are really excited about taking on this excellent new product family, which will allow us to expand our sales activity into an area of the market which demands larger capacity machine tools such as the mould and die industries.' The company showed a model IFS2 universal milling centre equipped with Heidenhain 426 digital control system at MACH 2002 last week.
