With advanced features that streamline manufacturing processes, reduce set-up times, and increase production efficiency, the new machine represents a valuable asset for Bon Precision Engineering, enabling the company to tackle a wider range of complex components up to 20mm diameter.
James Hunter, Midlands area sales manager at Star Micronics, concluded: “We are pleased to support Bon Precision Engineering with the acquisition of another Star CNC machine. The SB-20R is engineered to deliver performance and reliability, and we are confident that this investment will fuel Bon Precision Engineering's growth and success in the years to come.”
