National Manufacturing day 2023

News

As you know at wilco we are a turned parts manufacturer, National Manufacturing day is here to help people learn obout the diverse and skilled sectors of manufacturing.

So to celebrate… we are sharing a little bit of history.

Here are some pictures of the Engineers year book for 1942. It is a 2852 page book which we had in our storage room so at one point was probably on the factory floor helping out the engineers in the factory through drawings and operations!

Master Key redesign

News

Redesigned Master Key on a Star SR20

The key was previously made in China and USA, it was machined and cold formed to dreate gear form with variable results i.e. it didn’t work!

Wilco redesigned the key to add an extra tooth to make it work every time and simplify the gear form to enable it to be machined in one hit, rather than the previous convoluted design. And it looks even better once ionised in blue!

SR20RIV with enhanced tooling

News

Our second SR20RIV Type B was installed in 2021 as an additional machine delivering full five axis capability enabling highly complex components to be processed.

The SR-20RIV Type B provides exceptional performance with up to forty one tools being brought to bear.  The powerful sub-spindle has an independent 8 station platen doubling the amount of tools available on the older 20mm machines which increases overlapped secondary machining possibilities.

The flexibility of the SR-20RIV Type B is further enhanced by its programmable angled drilling/milling arm.

Shirley Engineering joins the fold

News

In January 2013, Shirley Engineering was aquired by Wilco Manufacturing.  The plant, equipment and personnel all moved wholesale over the Christmas Break and was set up, running and ready to produce for the New Year.

Shirley Engineering has concentrated on larger Fixed Head CNC machining which complements extremely well the Sliding Head CNCs that have been the major growth area for Wilco over the last 10 years.

Larger components up to 200mm diameter can now be machined, which enhances the portfolio of machining options available to all of our customers (new and old) enormously.

New Multi Axis Fixed Head CNC

News

A new Miyano BNJ 51SY5 was installed in October 2012 to add to the diversity of parts that can be manufactured.  The machine will machine bars up to 51mm in diameter and has 2 spindles and 2 turrets to allow the machining of complex parts in on machining operation

The machine has far more power available for bigger drilling and milling operations which in turn will free up more capacity on the very capable Star Sliding head machines.
