Press ReleasesJanuary 2008:
Further investments in Quality and Production by Batten and Allen have been announced
A new Bruderer 30 tonne 300-85B CNC is the sixth new press to be installed in the last 7 years. Increased quality demands placed upon us by our customers have prompted the purchase of a fifth Smartscope Measuring Machine with real time SPC. The latest addition is a Vantage model. Batten and Allen now has 6 Smartscopes, 1 Smartscope Vantage 250, 3 Smartscope Zip 250's and 1 Smartscope Flare. Batten and Allen is committed to a continuing programme of investment to meet or exceed our customers expectations.
Batten and Allen are proud to announce the award of EN ISO 14001.

Second Agie Vertex for Batten and AllenFollowing the successful installation and commissioning of the first Agie Vertex, Batten and Allen has invested in a second machine.
Original Press Release in PDF Format...
Batten & Allen make big investment in Agie wire EDM technology.
This latest investment – an Agiecut Vertex high-performance, duo-wire EDM machine has been installed in the company’s advanced technology toolroom where it is being used to produce complex and high-accuracy tooling and progression dies.
Tools and dies used to manufacture (stamp-out) miniature precision parts are characterised by their small size and their complex profiles. Intricate features – slots, apertures and tapers - to micron accuracy are not only expected…they are demanded.
The Agiecut Vertex has been designed to meet these production challenges.
Designed and constructed - similar to a measuring machine for high accuracy and repeatability – the Vertex rests on 3 shock-absorbing points.
High-accuracy is also ensured by controlling any threat of thermal distortion. As well as all potential heat source elements being well insulated and optimally cooled by air or water – they are also well away from the EDM working area.
The Vertex is a duo-wire EDM machine. The machine has 2 wire spools (each 8kg) accommodating wire diameters from 0.20 to 0.02mm. The use of such fine wire means that the Vertex can be relied upon to cut small, complex shapes and features to a high degree of accuracy and a Ra 0.05 µm surface finish. The duo-wire system plus the machine’s automatic wire thread capability ensures high-productivity and manufacturing flexibility.
As with all Agie high-performance EDM machines – the Vertex is equipped with the popular object-oriented AGIEVISION control and new, high-efficiency IPG generator.
Batten and Allen are pleased to announce BS EN ISO 9001:2000 accreditationSolder Loaded Leadframes
