December 16, 2015 - TCI Precision Metals has installed an Amada THV430 duplex mill at its Gardena, California, shop. The THV430 provides a four-fold increase in throughput over traditional milling machines and will help TCI shorten customer lead time and handle increased demand for its Custom Machine-Ready Blanks.
TCI’s blanks are milled in width and length using the duplex mill’s twin spindle in a single setup. One or more blanks can be produced simultaneously, within the machine’s dimensional capacity: 16.93 inches wide by 16.93 inches long by 5.91 inches tall. “At TCI we continuously refine our equipment and processes. As a result, we are able to provide customers with cost effective, high value Machine-Ready Blanks that can reduce a shop’s overall cost by as much as 25 percent on a given production job,” says President Ben Belzer.
