(ISM) Manufacturing Activity Reaches Highest Level Since 1983

As manufacturing recovers from a pent-up demand on the economy due to a global pandemic, statistics show USA machine tool orders are rapidly increasing as each month of 2021 passes. Chief Data Officer Steven Kline, Jr., at Gardner Business Media, stated, “Unit orders in February increased 31.0% compared with one year ago, marking the fifth month of growth in the last six months.”

According to the Institute for Supply Management (ISM), its index of national factory activity surged to a reading of 64.7 in March, causing a 3.9 rise from February. (This is the highest level it has reached since December 1983.)

The Eurotech Forza turn/mill center is uniquely designed to help you meet this increase in demand. A rigid box way hand-scraped casting and no belts or pulleys on the machine. The Eurotech Forza is a heavy-duty turning and milling center with live tools cutting at 12,000 RPM.

Live Tools weighing in at 24.5 lbs. are up to six times the weight of other brand machines, giving a clear advantage on rigidity, providing you with better quality and more productivity. Not only do these tools reach 12,000 RPM, but they are also driven by a 15 HP motor and deliver 75 Nm of torque.

In addition, the Eurotech Forza is the most accurate turn/mill center by oil cooling the turret, the integral spindle motors, the bearings and the ball screw mounts. With these features and more, the Eurotech Forza technology delivers greater throughput, superior finishes and on-point accuracy.
