Mach Machine Tools (hall 20, stand 891) says it will launch a range of best-in-class CNC lathes and machining centres at this year’s exhibition. The 8”-chuck Mach S-202 is a two-axis CNC lathe with a 400 mm turning length and 52 mm bore capacity. Included as standard is a programmable tailstock, parts catcher and swarf conveyor. Customers can choose from the Fanuc 0i-TD or Siemens 828D control with ShopTurn software.

Also launched will be the Mach 710 Mini Mill+, a three-axis vertical machining centre equipped with an 11 kW, 12,000 rpm direct-drive BBT40 spindle. The machine offers a 24-position side-mounted ATC, 48 m/min rapids and roller linear guideways. A Fanuc 0i-TD CNC or Siemens 828D with on-board ShopMill software can be supplied. Both the Mach S-202 CNC lathe and Mach 710 Mini Mill+ machining centre will be displayed with the Fanuc control. However, a Siemens 828D simulator will be available on the stand for visitors to see this control option.

NCMT (hall 19, stand 640) says the show will mark the UK launch of the DA300 five-axis, trunnion-type, vertical-spindle machining centre from Makino.

The configuration on display will include a Cellro robotic system for automatically loading and unloading components.
Makino’s DA300 machine is aimed at the five-sided and fully interpolative five-axis production of complex components in one clamping. Also on the stand will be the M460V-5AX vertical machining centre, which is the latest addition to the Genos series from Okuma and the first five-axis machine in the range. Machining volume is 762 x 460 x 460 mm. Okuma’s Thermo-Friendly Concept is included in the specification, applied to both the machine structure (TAS-C) and spindle (TAS-S). Tests have shown thermal deviation to be less than 10 µm over a 24-hour period, despite an 8°C variation in ambient temperature. Features such as Okuma’s five-axis tuning system, which fine-tunes the geometry of the machine for precision, and Okuma’s Absoscales on the X, Y and Z axes, are all part of the standard package.

Eclipse Magnetics (hall 20, stand 40) will use the exhibition to showcase a variety of magnetic filtration products, as well as a range of electromagnets, magnetic workshop tools, welding aids, and work-holding and lifting products.

Visitors will have the opportunity to find out more about the ways in which magnetic filtration systems remove problem ferrous particles from industrial fluids such as coolants, oils, lubricants and wash solutions.
Highlighted on the stand will be a full size Automag Skid, a self-contained magnetic filtration and fluid recovery system.

Autodesk (hall 17, stand 600) will be sharing its vision of the ‘Future of British Manufacturing’ at MACH with the 2019 releases of CAM software products that include Autodesk PowerMill and Autodesk FeatureCAM.

Visitors can hear more on the main stage (12 April) at the MACH Conference centre, where Asif Moghal, senior industry manager at Autodesk, will be presenting on the Future of British Manufacturing initiative, a collaboration between UK industrial organisations. Visitors to the stand will be able to view a scaled-down sample of a propeller manufactured using PowerMill additive technology.
