16 machines on display

Mills CNC is set to showcase 16 Doosan lathes and machining centres (hall 18, stand 520).

In total, eight lathes will be on display, including the new 10”-chuck Puma 2600SY (sub-spindle, Y axis) Mk II, the recently launched 12”-chuck Puma GT 3100LM equipped with driven-tool capability, and the Puma V8300M VTL with driven tools and ATC. Eight Doosan machining centres will also be displayed: two five-axis machines; a large NHP4000 horizontal machining centre with a 60-tool magazine; one VC 3600 twin-table vertical machining centre; and four of Mills’ vertical machining centres from the DNM series, which includes the DNM 4000 that is making its UK debut at the exhibition.

Cutting-tool innovation in the spotlight

Quickgrind will be giving a MACH debut to milling-cutter innovations that include the Mirage, QPlus, Delta and Spectre series (hall 7, stand 101).

Quickgrind will also be demonstrating its QuickEdge regrinding service, QuickLab process analysis and improvement service, QuickVend tool management solutions, and QuickCAM CAM assessment service. By reducing depth of cut and increasing feed rate by up to six times that of conventional end mills, Quickgrind says that its high-feed Spectre range is suitable for rough-machining operations such as slotting, pocket milling and contour machining.

Cool finish

The latest Mikron CrazyMill Cool tool available from Floyd Automatic Tooling will be making its exhibition debut (hall 20, stand 620).

Developed for milling small dimensions, the CrazyMill Cool Ball Z4 four-tooth finish-milling cutter with shank-integrated cooling is available in the diameter range of 1 to 8 mm for milling depths of up to 5xD. The tool is suitable for machining materials up to a hardness of 54 HRc, and its development has been focused on stainless steels, titanium, heat-resistant alloys and nickel and cobalt-chrome alloys.

Group-wide innovation

The team from Carfulan Group is set to deliver the UK premiere of a range of manufacturing technologies covering multi-sensor inspection equipment, 3D printing, offline tool pre-setting and turned-part measurement (hall 19, stand 410).

Carfulan Group comprises OGP UK, Zoller UK, ViciVision UK and SYS Systems. Among the exhibits from OGP will be the new Fusion multi-sensor metrology system, while the star of the show from SYS Systems, UK platinum partner for Stratasys, will be the Fortus 450 3D printer. Alongside its tool pre-setting and inspection devices, Zoller’s new Smart Cabinets range will go on public display
in the UK for the first time.

Cutting tool innovations introduced

At the EMO exhibition in 2017, Guhring gave a world premiere to a multitude of new cutting tool lines, and these innovations will receive their UK exhibition premiere at MACH (hall 18, stand 540).

The company will present new turning systems that include the 104 and 106 series for grooving, boring, broaching and threading, and the 305 system, a three-fold interchangeable indexable insert for external and internal machining. From a milling perspective, Guhring will be keen to demonstrate its latest Ratio line of roughing end mills. Ratio offers flat-crested geometry and an optimised roughing profile that is said to demonstrate 60% longer service life.
