YORKY GRINDING MACHINE

Broadbent Stanley and  the Machine  Tool  Technologies Group  have 

enjoyed a  close  association  for  many  years, so a joint strategy was

developed to  purchase  the full  intellectual, design and manufacturing

rights  to the  Yorky  Grinding  machine  range. The  machines are now

being manufactured in  newly  acquired  premises in close proximity to

both companies and promoted through Broadbent Stanley’s worldwide

distributor network.

"your guarantee of quality and support"

located   on  the  outskirts  of  Halifax  in West  Yorkshire;  England  with  a  heritage  dating   back  over 100  years 

Broadbent Stanley are one of  the  leading  producers  of large  capacity,  manual  and  CNC  metal  turning  lathes. 

The  company  boasts  have  a huge  customer   base  with   installations   in  power  generation,  rail,  construction,

aerospace  and oil  and gas. In  fact, wherever  there  is  a  need  for large  capacity turning  application  Broadbent  

Stanley  can  generally  offer a solution.  

due to the foresight of  Managing  Director,  Graham  Thomas 

who purchased the company some years ago. Much resource 

has   been    made   available   for   the  development   of  new

products,  primarily CNC  including  a range of hollow  spindle  

lathes for the oil,  gas and  petrochemical industries. The vast 

percentage   of   CNC  business   is application  driven  which

means  the  company looks at  their customers’ manufacturing 

problems   and   generates   a   solution.   Total  support  is the 

Broadbent Stanley philosophy with many installations part of a

turnkey operation.

But Broadbent Stanley is more than lathes, with the acquisition

of   another    famous    Yorkshire    brand    -    Parkson,    who

manufacture a range of competitively priced vertical machining

centres and large  capacity,  heavy duty single and twin column

milling centres with X axis strokes of up to 10,000mm (393”)!

There  is  also  a  rebuild   division,   where  existing  machines

can   be   rebuilt    to    “as   new”   condition    by   experienced

technicians.  Typical  recent  rebuilds  include   large   capacity

manual   and   CNC  lathes,   heavy   duty   twin  column  milling

machines   along   with   vertical  turning  lathes  and  horizontal

borers.

With  much  of  Broadbent   Stanley’s  business  generated  by

producers of large  rolls and to repair shops in the oil, gas and

petrochemical industries, the already well established range of

Yorky grinders  neatly slot into the Broadbent  Stanley portfolio,

complimenting the existing range of products!
