Benfleet based Wilson Tool & Engineering Ltd has recently purchased a brand new SMEC SL2000 turning centre from Dugard and MTDCNC’s Paul Jones visited the Essex subcontractor to take a look at the new installation.

Hanwha Precision Machinery are the first Korean machinery company to set up a technical centre in Europe. 

In recent years, the sliding head turning market has seen the niche machining technology continually encroach and impact of the sales of fixed head turning centres.

Dugard have now become the sole UK & Ireland sales and distribution outlet for the world renowned Kitamura brand of machine tools. The Kitamura machinery motto is ‘limitless creativity’ and this has been established on a global stage since its inception in 1933 with machine tool technology that is genuinely ‘world class’.

Paul from MTDCNC.com reviewed our Dugard 1000E vertical machining centre, watch the video below:

Paul from MTD spoke to Siavash Baghaei, our technical manager, to find out a little more about the innovative new Hanwha range of collaborative robots (cobots).

Paul from MTD stopped in at our Southern Manufacturing stand and asked Eric a few questions about what’s in store for us in 2019

Made in South Korea, Hanwha sliding head CNC lathes and collaborative robots are now available exclusively at Dugard.  Both ranges were launched at our 2018 open house, 17 & 18 October at the Hove showroom.

It is with great sadness we have to announce our company Chairman Bob Dugard passed away peacefully at Royal Sussex County Hospital Brighton on the 5th of August after a long illness which he fought in his typical “never give up” fashion. His wife Margaret was at his bedside when he slipped away, our heartfelt […]

Collaborative robots (cobots) are robots designed to physically interact with humans in a shared workspace.  Europe is the most active market for cobots and is the hub of the global robot industry. 

New to our range of production lathes, the Dugard i42U is very impressive – watch Dave tell all to MTDCNC.com in the video below.

There was a great turnout at the Dugard open house – with over a hundred customers making the trip down to Hove in just 2 days, it’s most definitely the busiest so far. 

We’re opening the doors at Dugard on 18th and 19th October for our open house and we’ve got some really exciting things to show you.

Our 5 axis range is growing and it now includes the impressive Dugard GTX620, a 5 axis simultaneous machining centre designed for precision and efficiency.

Buying a new machine is a massive investment, and we know only too well how hard it can be to secure funding.  Now might be the best time for you to think about renting a machine.

When Advanced Tool Manufacture Ltd was in the market for new machine tools, the East Kilbride company went straight for the ECO1000 vertical machining centre from a company located at the opposite end of the UK, Dugard Machine Tools.

Happy new year everyone!  It’s the first week back at work for us and we’ve already got some great things planned for 2015. 

We first introduced our range of heavy duty VMCs in 2011 – with their unique reverse axis table design they were an instant success.  That success has prompted us to expand the range to include the equally impressive LB range of double column machining centres – offering exceptional heavy duty capacity at a competitive price.

The 12th Metalloobrabotka International Machine Tools Exhibition in Moscow saw the first of many successful trade show outings for Dugard Rus last week (May 23 – 27 2011).

MACH 2014 has been so much busier than we expected this year – brilliant news as our stand is one of the bigger ones so that’s quite an investment.

At Dugard we’re expecting big things from the new E range of VMCs.  Like their predecessor, the ECO range, they’re incredible value for money, and like the ECO range we’ve got a comprehensive choice of bed sizes ranging from 760mm right up to 2000mm.
