MG Sanders invests in additional CNC machine tool capacity:

 

Lynx 300M lathe

 

 

Space saving design, the latest and largest addition to the Lynx range is the Lynx 300 series with its 10"/76mm bar capacity.  Fast, accurate and highly productive for our manufacturing environment The Lynx 300M is equipped with C-axis milling function.

 

Doosan V430

 

 

Twin table machine is designed for high-speed, heavy-duty machining and is ideal for higher volume production. The machine is equipped with a 18.kW 10,000rpm spindle, a 30-position (BT 40) tool changer and twin pallets with rotary pallet changer.

MG Sanders have successfully completed an EFDA JET contract for supply of Tungsten tiled LBSRP modules to be installed in the new divertor of JET. This central part of the divertor on the bottom of the vessel will have to withstand the highest heat loads of any component in JET. In operation, the Tungsten lamellae may reach temperatures of up to 2,200°C and they have therefore been individually shaped to maximise their power handling capabilities. In total there will be 48 of these modules in the complete divertor. This work is part of the currently ongoing shutdown to maintain and enhance Europe’s largest fusion device to answer questions raised in the fusion community.
