Mollart (hall 20, stand 855) will focus on its expertise in BTA deep-hole drilling technology following the establishment in 2017 of its BTA Application Centre in Chessington.

This capability will be supported at the exhibition through its subcontract machining operations, which include gun drilling, BTA deep-hole drilling and multi-axis machining techniques and assembly. Visitors to the stand will be able to discuss BTA drilling technology with regional specialists representing various areas of the UK. Mollart’s subcontract capability includes multi-axis machining technology both at its 40,000 sq ft headquarters in Chessington and 21,000 sq ft production facility in Resolven. Production installations across the two sites comprise six Mazak Integrex turn-mill centres, large Doosan turn-mill centres, a range of large-capacity turning and machining centres, as well as subcontract drilling, automatic deburring, ultrasonic testing and surface finishing. The company also houses welding and fabrication facilities across
10,000 sq ft of space.

The mission of Pryor Marking Technology (hall 18, stand 410) at this year’s show is to help companies take their first steps into Industry 4.0 – by marking and tracking components through the production process.

Pryor’s solutions can mark every component on a production line with a unique ID, such as a barcode. Moreover, using Pryor’s traceability software, users can then track each component and capture important data across the manufacturing process. Pryor will also showcase some of the marking technologies that underpin these systems, including on-the-fly laser marking and robotic dot-peen marking.

The UK debut of a new Kellenberger universal grinding machine concept and a first MACH appearance for Okamoto Works under the representation of Jones and Shipman Hardinge (hall 20, stand 875) will be the highlights of the stand.

The Kellenberger 100 concept can be tailored to meet specific customer requirements, and incorporates key elements of Kellenberger’s Vista and Vita model ranges, the Jones & Shipman Ultramat CNC and Ultragrind 1000, and the Tschudin T25. Elsewhere on the stand will be the Okamoto ACC-63SA surface grinder, which offers a 600 x 300 mm table.

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.
