A small Accrington-based business has improved the performance of its machining capability through data analysis and upgraded software, supported by engineers from the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) North West.

Ken Branton, project manager at Precision Machining, says: “Our machines are high-quality pieces of kit but they’re not all the newest or the most state-of-the-art. We wanted the AMRC to support us in understanding how to use them as effectively as we can. I was particularly impressed at their ability to work with different sized businesses and budgets.”
