It’s always exciting when a new machine is moments away from delivery — and at our SYIL UK Technical Centre in Biggleswade, we had the pleasure of putting the finishing touches on a very special SYIL X7.
Located just off the A1, our second UK Technical Centre is fully equipped to handle pre-delivery inspections (PDI), test setups, and custom installations to ensure every machine meets our customers’ exacting standards before it leaves our doors.
This X7 isn’t your average spec — it’s been upgraded with the optional 30,000 rpm HSK40E spindle, making it an incredibly capable tool for high-speed, high-precision machining. We can’t reveal what the customer will be using it for just yet… but let’s just say it’s going to be doing some very interesting work.
Our engineer Mark was on site handling the install of a Renishaw job probe and tool setter, including broken tool detection — giving this X7 even more automation capability and real-time feedback to support complex operations.
We believe in more than just selling machines. It’s about offering real engineering support, backed by team members who know how to fine-tune every aspect for performance and productivity.
After final setup, the machine went through:
A full geometry check
Clean down
Final visual inspection
Functional testing of probing and spindle performance
Once all systems were good to go, this X7 was ready to be shipped to its new home — fully tuned, tested, and customer-ready.
There’s no better way to end the week than sending another machine out the door — especially one that represents the precision and performance SYIL is known for.
Thanks to the team for a smooth install, and to our customer for trusting us with their next machining investment.
The SYIL X7 is a compact, rigid, and automation-ready vertical machining centre perfect for shops looking to boost performance without a massive footprint. With options like the 30,000 rpm HSK40E spindle, it’s built to tackle complex jobs with ease.
