In the last half century Crawford Swift has concentrated on large capacity lathes and special purpose machine tools - designing, manufacturing, installing and commissioning specialist machine tools capable of carrying up to 250 tons between centres.
Thousands of machines in operation thoughout the world today bear testimony to the quality and reliability of Binns and Berry lathes.
Machines we build today embody the latest developments and are used in a range of workshops and applications from manufacture of rocket bodies at several N.A.S.A. facilities to often harsh and demanding requirements of turning new rolls and re-dressing rolls for use in steel mills.
Modular construction techniques and unique 3 and 4 guideway bed design ensure that we are able to tailor standard modules for individual customer requirements including C-Axis, driven tooling and probing applications.
