Based on the Ballymote Business Park in County Sligo, Ireland, Mito Precision Engineering provides a toolroom service to manufacturers in the medical devices and automotive industries, as well as jigs and fixtures to the medical and pharmaceutical sectors.

Since the company's establishment by Malachy Towey and Michael Taheny in 2010, manufacturing capacity has steadily expanded and now encompasses surface grinding and both wire and sink EDM in addition to turning and milling. The latter machines have been mainly sourced from preferred supplier Hurco.

In total, Mito operates 11 Hurco CNC machining centres and two Hurco CNC lathes. They range from early models of the compact VM10 milling centre to a TM8i turning centre purchased last year and the latest investment, a VMX42HSi vertical machining centre with 20,000 rpm HSK63A spindle. The combination of ease of programming, robustness and high power make Hurco machine tools ideal for manufacture of one-off, often complex parts in tool steels or stainless steel.

Mito now has three different model variations of the Hurco VMX42. Known as an industry workhouse, it is a one-metre X-axis machine with a generous 610mm Y-axis travel and the same in Z plus a table load capacity of 1,750 kg, allowing the company to produce large mould tools.

Recent design enhancements mean that direct drives are provided in X, Y and Z and roller guideways are used in all axes for precise, rigid dynamics. The machine cabinet has full washdown in addition to the spindle coolant ring, while chip evacuation is via a swarf conveyor.

Mito provides customers with a top-quality service, offering competitively priced tools, advice and guidance. Having forged long-term relationships with customers of varying sizes from a variety of industries, Mito has gained new business through personal recommendation. Attention to detail in the tools it supplies and ongoing investment in new machinery and technology underpin its success.
