Some €408,000 of EU funding has been awarded to the University of Wolverhampton for a new project to address skills gaps in manufacturing and engineering.

Newly developed training methods will now be used to develop high-level expertise in advanced manufacturing technologies focused on additive layer manufacturing (ALM). Entitled ‘Additive Process Technology Integration with Management and Entrepreneurship’, the project was awarded Erasmus + funding. Six European universities will now partner to create flexible learning that could result in a Master’s qualification.

The first quarter of XYZ Machine Tools’ 2019/2020 financial year has continued the positive growth in turnover that saw the company post record figures for its year ending April 2019.

In the first quarter turnover has risen by over 6%, with sentiment in the market remaining strong across XYZ’s product range. Sales growth has also led to another accolade for the company, with it gaining 17 places in the Western Morning News’ Annual Business Guide Top 150 Businesses in Devon and Cornwall, moving up from 135th to 118th. This is no mean feat given that these 150 companies have a combined turnover of £14 billion.

Bystronic UK will open the doors of its Coventry headquarters on 1-3 October to mark the launch of the company’s BySmart Fiber entry-level fibre-laser cutter.

The competitively priced BySmart Fiber can be supplied with a laser source of 2, 3, 4, or 6 kW, as well as optional automated material-handling solutions. The 6 kW source enables users to achieve the maximum increase in cutting speed, for example up to 70% more than a 4 kW fibre laser when cutting 3 mm stainless steel. This advantage is even greater in comparison with a 6 kW CO2 laser, as productivity is trebled.
Many other machines will also be at the open house, including the company’s 10 kW fiber-laser machine with full automation, a full range of high specification and affordable press brakes, and software solutions designed to help network production.

Zoro is a one-stop-shop for more than 250,000 industrial consumables, tools and business supplies with free next-day delivery throughout the UK on many of its lines.

When ordering products through the service, customers choose a monthly, weekly or bi-weekly option. Customers can also select a start and end date for the subscription, and make the dates the same, effectively functioning as a single scheduled order.
