XYZ Machine Tools, the UK’s largest seller of CNC machines, has a cross section of the company’s product range on Stand G260-1/G260-2, demonstrating the user-friendliness of its CNC controls and cutting parts to show productivity gains.The new XYZ 400 UMC, for example, bringsfive-axis machining to every workshop through its capacity and price point.

Fitted with a 400mm diameter rotary-tilt table, driven by a Japanese roller cam drive mechanism, the XYZ 400 UMC with Siemens Sinumerik One offers reduced set-up times when machining parts with features on multiple faces or carrying out simultaneous five-axis operations. Also on display are the XYZ 500LR VMC and CT 65 HD turning centre, which again feature Siemens controls.

New CT system for shop-floor deployment

On Stand A265, LK Metrology is exhibiting the Corex 250 from Ready Metrologyfor the first time. The new industrial computed tomography (CT) system is designed for the production environment and features a 230 mm³ working volume. It brings non-contact inspection and metrology into the factory, inspecting rubber, plastic or carbon-fibre components in 20 to 30 seconds. For denser materials like aluminium, magnesium and titanium, inspection times remain fast at 40 to 50 seconds. Easy to use, on-board integrated software means shop-floor operators do not need to be metrologists.

Celebrating 28 years of engineering excellence

Taking place this week (3-5 February) at Farnborough International Exhibition Centre, Southern Manufacturing & Electronics is the first major event in the sector’s calendar, marking the show’s 28th year as a cornerstone of the UK’s engineering community. Much loved for its heritage and uniquely British character, the event continues to attract engineers, designers, manufacturers and innovators from across the country and overseas.

Two dedicated seminar theatres complement the exhibition, hosting a full programme of CPD-accredited sessions. The agenda explores practical strategies to help manufacturers streamline production, strengthen digital capabilities and unlock fresh opportunities for growth. For instance, experts will explain how integrated digital tools and systems can boost efficiency, enhance productivity and position businesses for long-term success.
