MTDCNC gets a first look at the UK’s first FERMAT WFT CNC Horizontal Borer!!

Fully modular, up to 90 tools on the tool changer, robot integration to load an infinite number of tools, and the ability to use different heads – the FERMAT WFT is the perfect solution for deep hole boring.

Manufax Engineering began in 1949, the year of the Maiden flights of the British-built de Havilland Comet, the world’s first passenger jet, and the English Electric Canberra, a British first-generation jet-powered fighter aircraft. Today, Manufax Engineering celebrate 75 years of excellence, proudly supporting Airbus and BAE’s cutting-edge aircraft programs. Their secret to success? Investing in people, processes, and technology. Recently, the company installed the UK’s first FERMAT WFT CNC Horizontal Borer, enhancing their capability with a 4m X, 2.5m Y envelope, and deep hole boring for workpieces up to 20 tonnes.
