Rainford Precision (Hall 20, Stand 573) has recently been announced as the new UK and Ireland distribution partner for both 6C Tools and BSQ Tech. Micro tools from 6C are manufactured using laser ablation, avoiding damage and significantly increasing wear resistance to give 5-10 times more tool life. For engineers looking to improve their productivity when machining aluminium, copper, brass, plastics, PEEK and other non-ferrous metals, Rainford says that the arrival of the SwissCeraMill series from BSQ Tech can improve output by 400% compared with conventional carbide cutting tools.

The Sempre Group (Hall 18, Stand 400) is demonstrating how manufacturers can harness Quality 4.0 to improve their productivity. Quality 4.0 begins at the preparation stage, which involves using automated solutions to balloon and populate inspection reports such as FAIRs. From there, manufacturers can develop measurement routines and minimise manual inspection. AR tools can then guide operators through the assembly process and reduce errors by projecting instructions for them to follow. After assembly, manufacturers can bring all their data together in one electronic QMS.

From the eight machine tools on display from MACH Machine Tools (Hall 20, Stand 370), seven are equipped with the versatile DynaPath WinDelta control. Visitors to the stand will not only be able to appreciate the high performance and productivity levels of the machines and recognise the value they represent, but also familiarise themselves with the DynaPath control.
A new addition to MACH Machine Tools’ product line-up is a high-speed machining centre that is said to perform as stylishly as it looks. The MACH MDHS-65S is for the fast processing of high-precision components, mould tools and copper electrodes. It features a fixed, rigid and thermally-stable double column structure, roller-type linear guides, a high-speed HSK40E spindle (7.5 kW/24,000 rpm), a specially-designed spindle chiller system, a servo-driven 12-tool ATC and, of course, the DynaPath WinDelta control that provides 10,000-block look-ahead capability and dynamic path smoothing.

MecWash (Hall 18, Stand 114) is introducing a new aqueous cleaning system, the MWX300, which is the compact version of its MWX400. Designed for low-volume specialist applications, the cleanliness standards of the MWX300 make it suitable for sectors such as aerospace, electronics and medical. The machine features enhanced functionality and improved accessibility for easy maintenance. It also utilises technology used in many smart machine tools, which according to MecWash makes the MWX300 one of the most advanced, connected parts cleaning systems in the world.

The range of machines from XYZ Machine Tools (Hall 17, Stand 200) offers customers a natural route of progression from manual through to multi-axis machining and turning centres. XYZ is further enhancing that progression with the arrival of two new and innovative groups of machining centres – the XYZ TMC (Toolroom Machining Centre) series and RMX 2-OP – both of which are on the stand.

There are four machines in the XYZ TMC range, all of which are fully equipped three-axis machining centres based on linear-rail VMCs from XYZ Machine Tools. The machines are available as 500, 750, 1000 and 1600 variants, with the number referencing the X-axis travel. Also on the stand, the company has brought its XYZ 2-OP machine, fully up to date with the latest RMX ProtoTRAK control. Offering a footprint of just 775 x 1380 mm, users can relocate it anywhere in the shop to relieve pressure on other machines by carrying out second operation work.
