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.

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.

RK International Machine Tools (Hall 20, Stand 265) is focusing attention on its extensive grinding machine portfolio and the recently introduced Europa eturn VS range of manual lathes. In total, seven machines are on display with all but one under power. Grinding machines on show come from its long-term supply partners Robbi, Perfect, Delta and Jainnher; covering all aspects of abrasive machining through universal grinding, surface grinding, vertical spindle rotary table grinding and centreless grinding.

Those looking for manual turning can see and discuss the Europa eturn VS series, represented by the mid-range VS390 gap-bed lathe with 390 mm swing over bed (610 mm in the gap). The range also features eturn Energy Management Technology (EEMT), which helps to reduce energy consumption when idle by putting the lathe into sleep mode and switching off all unnecessary power consumption.
