New CNC Machine for CEP
April 2005

CEP are proud to announce the installation of a new CNC machine at the headquarters and fabrication facility at St. Helens. The new machine which is capable of accurately machining aluminium profiles of up to 7 metres in length.

The CNC machine which is installed on the shop floor is linked to the computer network which allows machining preparations to be designed in the drawing office and transmitted to the machine over the network which both speeds up the machining process and reduces possible errors over traditional machining methods.

The new machine is expected to improve output and has not been installed at the cost of any jobs at CEP, quite the opposite, as the speed of machining increases more staff are required in order to keep up with production.
