New contracts
Austbore commenced a two year contract with Freeport, Indonesia
to provide dozer undercarriage overhauls in its Mackay factory and
an 18 month contract to provide shovel refurbishment on site.
CADAM
Austbore has just installed a "Cadam" programming package
which enables the firm to write the CNC programs from an office
and download the information directly to the required machine. This
improves the programming time and allows for jobs to be alternated
between machines. All programs are held in a directory for future
use. Currently, Austbore has five machines hooked into this system.
The future
Austbore has secured a futher 2000 sq metres of land adjacent to
its Paget facility with expectations for a healthy future for industry
in the region.
