A machine rental scheme has been introduced by Starrag UK for its Bumotec range of multi-axis mill-turn and machining centres.

The scheme will provide potential users with a cost-effective way to capitalise on the benefits of multi-tasking, single set-up machining. Included are the s191 and s181 Bumotec models, which are suitable for users in the medical, watchmaking and jewellery sectors, for instance. In one customer case example, the five-axis s181 mill-turn machine produced a complete surgical hook from 25 mm titanium bar in under 14 minutes, compared with 20 minutes using conventional single-station machining.
