Atomic Precision, a rapidly growing space-sector machining firm, has found a game-changing solution to boost productivity: the Brother Speedio U500Xd1. Compact, fast, and versatile, this high-performance machine is transforming their workflow, enabling precise manufacturing of complex parts and opening doors to larger orders and tighter deadlines.

Michael Phillips, joint owner with partner Wayne Robins of contract machining firm Atomic Precision, describes their recently-purchased, Japanese-built Brother Speedio U500Xd1 as “a Swiss army knife of 5-axis machining centres”. His comment is due to the 30-taper machine’s high quality, versatile functionality, compactness, and ability to complete an extensive range of jobs quickly and efficiently. Brother machines are sold and serviced in the UK and Ireland by sole agent Whitehouse Machine Tools, Kenilworth.

Founded in East Hendred, Oxfordshire, in 2020 by the two time-served mechanical engineering apprentices, who both previously worked in the machine shop at nearby Rutherford Appleton Laboratory's space development facility, Atomic Precision specialises unsurprisingly in manufacturing components and assemblies for the space and scientific research sectors.
