There is a transformation taking place at Southampton-based precision subcontract specialist BSA Regal Engineering Ltd.

This root and branch shift is a radical repositioning of the company focused on improvement and growth, and concerned with strengthening and elevating BSA Regal Engineering’s position within its existing supply chains, and on winning new high-value business in different industries.

Part of this transformation embraces recent investment in two new MACH 1062-HD vertical machining centres from MACH Machine Tools, part of the Vigilance Group. The machines, both MACH 1062-HD models (1020 x 625 x 610 mm in the X, Y and Z axis respectively) are now installed at the company’s 12,000 sq ft facility, where they are being put through their paces machining a range of high-precision components from a diverse range of materials that includes aluminium, stainless steel, tool steel, plastic, titanium and nickel alloy.

MACH 1062-HD machining centres are high-performance machines and have replaced three of the company’s older machines, which were used in part exchange to help fund the new investment.

Explains Martin Clayton, workshop supervisor at BSA Regal Engineering: “To achieve our growth objectives and make us more productive and competitive, we need access to high-performance CNC machine tools that deliver the accuracy, speed and process reliability we expect – and that our customers demand. When MACH made us aware of the performance and competitive price of the 1062-HD machines, we sat up and took notice.
“We’re delighted with the performance of our MACH 1062-HD machines,” he adds. “They are making us more productive, efficient and competitive. Features like their 24-position ATCs, their good ergonomic design and easy workpiece accessibility have already made them firm favourites with machine shop staff.”
