UK-based 1st Machine Tool Accessories (1st MTA) has secured exclusive distribution rights for Breuning IRCO’s advanced automation systems across Britain and Ireland. The deal introduces German-engineered bar feeders, load/unload systems, and custom automation solutions designed to boost efficiency in CNC turning centers, mill-turn machines, and rotary transfer systems.
Tailored Automation for Diverse Needs
Breuning IRCO’s modular systems adapt to:
- Material variety – Handling rounds, hexagons, squares, and specialty profiles (3mm–104mm diameter)
- Length flexibility – Processing bars up to 6m (extendable to 10m)
- Harsh environments – Industrial-grade construction ensures durability with minimal maintenance
The technology features vibration-damping bar feeds for stable high-speed machining and energy-saving operation to reduce costs.
Seamless Integration, Maximum Uptime
Key advantages include:
- Plug-and-play compatibility with existing CNC controls
- Compact footprints for space-constrained shops
- Precision alignment that minimizes scrap and extends tool life
“These systems enable lights-out production with rapid ROI,” noted 1st MTA. The partnership provides local installation support and lifetime servicing to optimize performance.
Driving the Future of Unattended Machining
By combining Breuning IRCO’s engineering with 1st MTA’s technical expertise, the collaboration delivers:
- 24/7 unmanned operation
- 30%+ faster cycle times
- Consistent part quality
The systems are already transforming UK factories—one retrofit recently achieved full ROI in under 8 months through scrap reduction and higher throughput.
