Moyola Expands Aerospace Production with Cutting-Edge Bavius Machining Tech

Moyola Precision Engineering has boosted its aerospace production with two new high-tech machining centres. The company installed Bavius's 'AeroCell 160 | 400' machines in late 2023 and early 2025. These advanced systems now operate at full capacity, helping Moyola meet growing demand more efficiently.

Founded in 1976, Moyola has become a key supplier of precision-engineered parts for aerospace and defence. The firm exports to Western Europe, North America, Asia, and South Africa. Its latest investment in Bavius technology strengthens its position in high-performance aluminium machining.

The 'AeroCell 160 | 400' machines deliver rapid material removal—over 12 litres per minute—while maintaining precision for complex geometries. They also cut cycle times by smoothly switching between roughing and finishing. Configured as a two-pallet unit, the system handles large aerospace components at high speed.

Lee Averill, Moyola's CAD/CAM Engineering Manager, highlighted the machines' ability to process big workpieces with both speed and accuracy. Bavius, the manufacturer, brings over 40 years of expertise in 5-axis machining, particularly for aerospace-grade aluminium.

Beyond machinery, Moyola invests in innovation through R&D partnerships with universities and government bodies. The company also operates a NADCAP-certified treatment facility, ensuring quality in specialised aerospace manufacturing.

The new machines allow Moyola to fulfil production commitments with greater flexibility. Their integration reflects the company's focus on advanced manufacturing for the aerospace sector. No further details on specific projects or clients have been disclosed.
