Horizontal borer suits rail projects

Ward Hi-Tech has completed the installation of a HNK HB-130X horizontal borer at a major rail infrastructure manufacturer in the north of England.

The Korean-built machine, which has an X axis of 3 m, a Y axis of 2.3 m, a Z axis of 1.3 m and a 700 mm W axis, can accommodate large parts weighing up to 20 tonnes on its 2000 x 2200 mm table.
The installation and commissioning phase of the project was just short of one month, with two HNK factory technicians working alongside the team of specialists from Ward Hi-Tech. According to Ward Hi-Tech, the customer is very pleased with the machine, which is now in full production.
