ITC TO PRESENT NEW PLATFORMS
STAND H250
As one of the UK’s leading cutting tool
manufacturers, Industrial Tooling
Corporation (ITC) will be returning to the
Southern Manufacturing & Electronics
Exhibition in 2024 to present its latest
product lines. The event at the Farnborough
International Exhibition Centre from the 6th
to the 8th of February 2024 will also allow the
Midlands manufacturer to introduce its new
e-commerce platform.
All of the company’s latest innovations
will be presented on Stand H250 where
manufacturers will also be invited to try out
the new e-commerce suite that has proven a
huge success since its introduction in
November 2023. The online portal provides
enhanced accessibility to the exponentially
growing product lines. The informative and
easy-to-navigate e-commerce platform
allows manufacturers to create an account
and place orders, browse through stock and
see everything ITC has to offer.
At the Farnborough event, visitors will be
able to discuss their manufacturing
challenges with the ITC cutting tool experts
who will be on hand to introduce the very
latest cutting tool technologies. In addition,
ITC will be keen to present the latest
innovations from partners such as WIDIA,
BIG KAISER, Kemmler and Bass. With many
of these technology partners presenting
world premières at the EMO exhibition in
September, the booth will provide a great
opportunity for UK manufacturers to witness
the next generation in cutting tool innovation
- this will include ITC’s latest solid carbide
end mills, drills and thread milling ranges.
To cater for engineers that require highend
indexable solutions, ITC’s team of
WIDIA experts will also be on stand H250 at
Farnborough to present everything from the
new WIDIA line of M1600 face mills, the
M8065HD milling system through to the
WIDIA TOP DRILL TDMX modular
drilling line and much more. As a world
leader in indexable cutting tool solutions and
solid carbide products, the WIDIA range at
the show will be comprehensive.
Complementing the UK manufactured
ITC cutting tools and indexable solutions
from WIDIA, ITC will also showcase the BIG
KAISER portfolio of high-precision tooling
systems. BIG KAISER is the world leader in
precision tooling systems and at the
Farnborough event, some of the range will be
on show for visitors to investigate. A few of
the highlights from BIG KAISER that will be
on show will be the Smart Damper-equipped
arbour-style face mill holders, precision
toolholders and chucks as well as the Mega
Synchro Tapping Chuck. As the original
manufacturer of the robust ‘face and taper’
dual contact system, the BIG KAISER
portfolio stands way above anything else in
the industry. ITC will also be showing a
Karnasch range of Micro and Composite
tools. For more information, please contact

ADVANCED ‘ONE-HIT’ MACHINE TOOLS TAKE CENTRE STAGE
STAND C160
Mills CNC has announced that it will be
showcasing two, new innovative DN
Solutions’ machine tools on its stand (C160)
at the Southern Manufacturing Show in
February 2024.
Mills CNC, the exclusive distributor of
DN Solutions’ and Zayer machine tools in the
UK and Ireland, will showcase two advanced
DN Solutions’ machine tools on its stand
(C160) at the Southern Manufacturing Show
in February 2024.
The machines comprising a new (5-axis)
machining centre and a popular, and proven,
multi-tasking lathe will demonstrate the
significant productivity and process
efficiency gains component manufacturers
can expect to achieve by investing in fast,
accurate and flexible ‘one-hit’ machine tool
technologies from Mills CNC.
By taking two machines, both under
power, to the event also demonstrates the
growing importance of the Southern
Manufacturing Show to Mills’ marketing
plans and programmes, and recognises that
not all manufacturers can, or will, attend
MACH 2024 later in the year (April 2024).
“Although much smaller in scope and
scale, Southern Manufacturing attracts many
visitors from the South of England – some of
whom will, for a variety of reasons, not be
attending MACH 2024,” says Tony Dale,
Mills CNC’s CEO.
“It is for this reason why we have decided
to take two high-performance machines to
Southern Manufacturing.”
DVF 4000: a new 5-axis simultaneous
machining centre.
The compact DVF 4000 is the latest
addition to Mills’ best-selling DVF-series of
5-axis, simultaneous machining centres and
provides component manufacturers with an
ideal ‘one-hit’ machining solution.
The machine is equipped with an
18.5kW/ 12,000rpm (BT 40) directly-coupled
spindle (as standard), and features a 400mm
diameter, built-in rotary, tilting table with a
zero-backlash roller gear cam design for
improved process reliability.
A 60-tool servo-driven ATC and
integrated thermal compensation deliver
increased productivity and part accuracies,
and roller LM guideways ensure fast
processing speeds.
The machine’s Fanuc 31i-Plus control
enables the DVF 4000 to be used in full
simultaneous 5-axis machining mode and
provides fast and reliable contouring
capabilities.
Lynx 2100LSYB: an advanced multitasking
turning centre.
The 8” chuck/65mm bar capacity Lynx
2100LSYB is an ultra-productive, multitasking
turning centre equipped with a 5”
chuck, 6000rpm sub-spindle, a Y-axis (+/-
52.5mm) and driven tooling capabilities
(6,000rpm).
The machine features a 15kW/4,500rpm
spindle, a 12-station turret and the latest
Fanuc i Plus control with a 15” touchscreen
iHMI.
The Lynx 2100LSYB’s flexibility, speed
and precision have helped it, fast become,
the number one choice lathe for small part
processing.
Concludes Tony Dale:
“We’re showcasing two, multi-tasking
DN Solutions’ machines on our stand – both
designed to help component manufacturers’
increase their productivity, process
efficiencies and performance.”
