Micro Craft Increases Machining Capability and Capacity

Micro Craft, Inc. recently increased their manufacturing capability and capacity with the purchase and installation of two new CNC (Computer Numerical Control) Mazak mills as part of their facility upgrade project. “The addition of these machines will assist Micro Craft in better serving the aerospace and defense market” according to Dr. Kenneth W. Sullivan, President/CEO of Micro Craft. Mr. Jim Ivins, Operations Managers added, “The larger of the two mills is a Mazak Variaxis i-1050T five-axis mill that can machine a part 47” (x-axis) by 54” (y-axis) by 35” (z-axis). This machine has the latest leading edge technology designed for five-axis machining, as well as turning capability.  The second machine is a Mazak VTC-25050D three-axis mill that can machine a part 69” (x-axis) by 25” (y-axis) by 26” (z-axis).”
