Sheffield Hallam University has invested in two turning centres from Coventry-based DMG Mori (
www.dmgmori.com).
Ian Broome — senior technician at the university’s Faculty of Arts, Computing, Engineering and Science — says: “We needed to update the machinery in our workshops to provide the best and most up-to-date facilities for our students.
Investing in DMG Mori turning centres makes us compatible and in line with much of the technology currently used in industry.
“Not only will this give our students an advantage in finding employment, once they have completed their courses, but it will also give employers increased access to the type of skills that are most relevant to their businesses.
“Having the right equipment attracts students and is an important part of ensuring that they get the best value for their investment in training.
“The training we received from DMG Mori made it easy for us to get running and demonstrated that programming Y-axis complex parts was straightforward.”
