C&K Precision Engineers 1999 年购入的首台 Dugard 机床至今仍在生产零件，该公司目前已有六台同类设备。公司总监 Matt Kelsall 表示，如果第一台不好用就不会再买第二台，这体现了设备可靠性以及公司与 Dugard 的长期合作关系。MTDCNC 的 Tom Skubala 走访了这家位于 Stoke-on-Trent 的家族企业，了解 SMEC 车床为何成为其主力设备：这些车床可加工 Inconel、Hastelloy 等难加工材料，并借助动力刀具和 Y 轴能力减少装夹次数。新旧设备均配备 Siemens SINUMERIK 数控系统，操作人员可在不同机台之间无缝切换。

“We’ve got six of these now. We wouldn’t have bought another one if we didn’t think the first one was good.”

For Matt Kelsall, Director at C&K Precision Engineers, that says a lot about the reliability of the machines and the company’s long-standing relationship with Dugard.

MTDCNC’s Tom Skubala visits the family-run business in Stoke-on-Trent to discover why SMEC lathes have become a firm favourite, from tackling tough materials like Inconel and Hastelloy to reducing setups with live tooling and Y-axis capabilities.
