Last month’s MACH 2026 exhibition in Birmingham proved a resounding success for Starrag with high-quality enquiries and stand visitor numbers far exceeding previous MACH exhibitions. On the stand, the Swiss machine manufacturer presented a complex turbine head that can be fully machined to high quality standards in a rapid cycle time on the company’s Bumotec 191neo turn-mill machine.

With a reputation in sectors from aerospace and power generation to the offshore sector, the Bumotec 191neo turn-mill centre was one of the few machines from the Starrag portfolio small enough to fit on a stand at MACH. Regardless, the machine, which is known as the ‘Swiss Army Knife‘ of small part machining, demonstrated its seven axes and flexibility, enticing visitors with the opportunities it presents for complex one-hit machining in sectors such as luxury goods, medical technology, micromechanics and avionics.

The Bumotec 191neo is characterised by productivity and precision. In addition to its stability, this is also due to the high torque of the Starrag milling spindle, the fast tool changer and the thermal properties.

Commenting on the MACH exhibition, Starrag UK’s sales director Lee Scott said: “MACH was another huge success for Starrag UK, where the quality and quantity of enquiries was exceptional. As a marquee brand, we’re recognised by manufacturers in all sectors. However, the beauty of having a compact Bumotec 191neo on the stand was the awareness it presented to our larger part manufacturing customers of the sheer diversity of our portfolio. With the Bumotec 191neo enjoying major success in the Irish medical industry, as well as the luxury goods markets worldwide, we took a lot of enquiries that revolved around the one-hit machining of complex small parts.”
