We are pleased to announce the arrival of the newest machine to our facility. At the time of this news release, we are in the process of wiring up our Nakamura Tome WT250II MMYS Multi Axes Turning Center. This new addition to our machine inventory will provide a substantial productivity boost by allowing us to do multiple operations in a single setup, and bring off components complete. The added benefit of a second turret will allow us to produce components up to twice as fast while maintaining our unparalleled quality in the quick connect and specialty military UAV and land systems industries.

Battlefield has recently purchased a property on Link Road minutes away from our main plant. This property includes a small, clean ambulance center that will be converted to enable more room for overflow storage and possibly light assembly. The installation of our recently acquired CNC equipment at our main facility has begun to encroach our assembly and test area. For this reason along with the ever increasing demands from our customers for product development and increased production, we have begun a season of necessary expansion. This additional facility will provide us with a little more breathing room as we do our best to manage our growth.

Battlefield International arrived at the 2013 AUVSI Unmanned Systems trade show in Washington DC with what was arguably the most well received promotional hand out of the entire event. Our original goal was to hand out something produced on our equipment in house that would be usable by anyone while at the same time assist us in marketing our EnduroLink fuel coupler. We designed and produced a unique machined pen that utilized our actual EL01Y EnduroLink locking sleeve assembly to retract the ink cartridge.

Our George Wozny (affectionately known as Mr. W), has supported our company and our owners entrepreneurial efforts since 1987. He has been a crucial part of our team from the very beginning and today at 90 years young, his enthusiasm is infectious. Mr “W” was with us when we received our first CNC lathe in 1997 and he is “on the job” as our latest machine arrives 18 years later. We were delighted that he was on hand to receive our first EuroTech. We are excited about the increased production capability this new advanced lathe will enable our firm. Here is a rundown of the key machine characteristics we are looking forward to tapping into: 1. Increased bar feeding capacity to 4” diameter enabling the efficient production of large parts. 2. 23hp, 10,000rpm live tooling gives us the power and speed to mill both aluminum, stainless and hard steel efficiently. 3. High horse power main and sub-spindles will allow us to machine parts quickly and fully completed in one setup. 4. A full 6 inches of Y axis travel allows Battlefield to produce a much broader and more complex range of components. 5. Box-way X and Y slides provide the rigidity to handle tough materials with tight tolerances.
