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.

Among the innovations on display from 1st MTA (hall 20, stand 560) will be a zero-point clamping system from V-Tech. For clamping workpieces on CNC machining centres, this pneumatic quick-change system features 24 kN retraction of the clamping pin in each receiver, and a positioning accuracy of better than 5 µm.

From a barfeed perspective, the latest announcement is that an Industry 4.0 connection is available for any new Iemca barfeed, allowing constant remote analysis of its condition and operation. With regard to rotary tables, on show will be Kitagawa’s latest TT150 tilting-type compound table with 150 mm faceplate, while elsewhere on the stand, 1st MTA will demonstrate a Chick Indexer SubSystem (ISS), showing how more components can be presented to a machining centre spindle by adding a fourth axis. Another Chick product on show will be the latest lightweight version of its One-Lok clamping system, which is pitched as a superior alternative to the conventional wind-up vice.

Among the products from 600 UK (hall 6, stand 565) will be a series of multi-axis CNC turning centres, which are the next-generation machines from Colchester, replacing the previous Tornado range.

The new Clausing MillPWR CNC milling machine will also be demonstrated at the show, utilising the conversational Acu-Rite MillPWR G2 control to program prototypes and small batches of components. 600 UK’s Industry 4.0 package, initially targeted at its range of Colchester and Harrison centre lathes, and MultiTurn and Alpha CNC lathes, will be a further exhibit (on a Colchester Triumph centre lathe).
