New MX-330 10 Pallet 5-axis CNC Machining Centre Strengthens Capacity
At WES Engineering Solutions, we are pleased to announce the arrival and installation of our new Matsuura MX-330 PC10 5-axis machining centre, representing another significant step in the continued development of our advanced manufacturing capability.
The new machine is currently being commissioned and is expected to be fully operational in June 2026.
This investment forms part of our wider strategic growth plan as we continue to expand within the aerospace, defence, advanced engineering, and high-precision manufacturing sectors.
Supporting the Next Phase of Growth
Over the past 18 months, WES Engineering Solutions has successfully transitioned into more complex, higher-value manufacturing sectors, with increasing demand for:
- Multi-axis precision machining
- Automated and lights-out manufacturing
- Repeatable batch production
- High-quality, tightly controlled components
The MX-330 PC10 significantly increases our ability to support these requirements through enhanced automation, pallet capacity, and production flexibility.
Increased Capacity and Improved Efficiency
The addition of the MX-330 provides:
- Increased machining capacity
- Greater unattended “lights-out” manufacturing capability
- Improved scheduling flexibility
- Reduced setup frequency through palletised production
- Enhanced support for medium-to-large batch call-off work
This allows us to improve responsiveness to customer demand while continuing to maintain the quality and delivery standards our customers expect.
Investment in Long-Term Capability
This latest investment reflects our continued commitment to:
- Precision engineering excellence
- Advanced manufacturing technology
- Sustainable long-term growth
- Supporting UK manufacturing capability
As customer requirements continue to evolve, investments such as the MX-330 ensure we remain well-positioned to deliver high-quality engineering solutions across a broad range of technically demanding industries.
We would like to thank Matsuura Machinery Ltd for their continued support throughout the process, and we look forward to bringing the machine fully online over the coming weeks.
