Rollomatic’s are the grinding machine of 

choice for many cutting tool manufacturers 

and indeed more rotary cutting tools are 

produced in the UK and in Ireland on 

Rollomatics than on all other CNC tool 

grinding machines put together. In fact over 

35 million rotary cutting tools are produced 

on Rollomatics in the UK and in Eire every 

year. Rollomatic GrindSmart® machines 

excel at producing cutting tools from 

0.025mm up to 32mm in diameter, and the 

superior Swiss manufactured quality of 

every Rollomatic machine is demonstrated 

with their industry leading 3-year unlimited 

up to 5-CNC Axis are high precision 

pinch/peel grinding machines with an 

integrated robot loader and are ideal for the 

cylindrical grinding of cutting tool blanks 

and for the manufacture of punches and 

special mould tools. Special tools that have 

very complex geometry and high length to 

diameter ratios are no problem for these 

highly accurate machines. 

Rollomatic also supply a range of special 

LaserSmart machines for producing CBN 

and similar tools including their 810XL 

machine that has 6 CNC Axis and is ideal for 

machining PCD tools up to 300mm in 

diameter. One of these advanced machines 

was recently supplied to a large UK based 

PCD tool manufacturer and is the perfect 

solution for machining ultra-hard tools used 

hours parts and labour warranty that comes in the automotive, aerospace and 

as standard on all new Rollomatic grinding 

machines. Rollomatic machines are supplied 

with all standard software free of charge 

with free updates for life. GrindSmart® 

machines are also available with a 6th CNC 

axis to ensure perfect tool geometry because 

the contact point of the grinding wheel 

remains constant over the entire grinding 

path during production. The latest linear 

motor technology provides more benefits 

such as enhanced surface finishes and 

reduced maintenance costs. 

Rollomatic ShapeSmart® machines with 

woodworking industries. 

Leading the way in automating entire 

productions lines, Rollomatics Smart Factory 

links its grinding machines to others such as 

washing, deburring, laser checking and 

packaging machinery with autonomous 

robots. The SmartMoma® autonomous robot 

on a fully mobile platform has a 6-axis 

robotic arm for complex handling tasks 

between production machinery of all kinds. 

NEXTAGE is a new type of industrial robot 

that can perform tasks in locations that are 

difficult for traditional robots. 

With its human-like kinematics, 

NEXTAGE can easily take the place of people and utilize its two 

arms to take over that tedious job without the need for users to 

redesign the production line and without specialized robot tools. 

Users can control and teach NEXTAGE what to do with a graphical 

user interface that can conveniently be handled by people without 

programming skills. The four video cameras (two on the head and 

one on each arm) offer an advantage to conduct various tasks that 

are challenging for traditional industrial robots. Accuracy is 0.5 mm 

by utilising the cameras, while position repeatability is 0.03 mm. 

Hundreds of NEXTAGE are currently working in factories; many 

24h/7days a week. 

Receiving its UK debut, and being exhibiting here for the first 

time ever, is Comat with their C-240 EVO filtration system. This has 

an oil capacity of 2,000l and has been specified to supply coolant to 

4 Manufacturing Machinery World, April 2024

GRINDING SOLUTIONS 

two Rollomatic grinding machines. Comat 

Superfiltration systems are engineered to 

filter neat cutting oil to 2-3 microns (with a 

classification NAS 1638 – ISO 4406 better 

than new oil), whilst constantly maintaining 

a stable temperature (+/- 0.2 degrees), 

without compromising filtration or flow 

rates so to ensure maximum consistency 

over time. Comat Superfiltration systems 

minimize the running costs to obtain the 

lowest cost per liter of oil filtered. The C240 

EVO filter unit is the latest generation of 

compact Superfiltration systems designed to 

manage multiple machine tools, and is able 

to filter any type of contaminant (carbide, 

high speed steel, medical steel, ceramic, 

brass) and to guarantee intelligent 

performance including energy saving and 

process optimization by remote monitoring 

from Comat’s headquarters near Milan to 

ensure systems are always delivering peak 

performance. Comat are using the Mach 

show to highlight the growing use of their 

systems not only for grinding machines but 

for turning applications as well. 

Specialists from Krebs & Riedel will be 

present on the AGS stand to discuss all 

grinding applications and best use of their 

range of internal and external grinding 

wheels. Krebs & Riedel manufacture high 

quality conventional, diamond and CBN 

abrasives and are constantly introducing 

new types of wheels with improved grain 

structures and novel bonding systems that 

enhance grinding wheel quality and 

optimise performance. Companies involved 

in grinding are invited to meet the Krebs & 

Riedel specialists and to discuss their 

grinding issues and aims to improve their 

grinding processes. Apart from offering high 

stock removal rates to improve cycle times, 

combined with more consistent part quality 

by avoiding micro-cracks in the surface of 

sensitive parts, another large benefit of using 

Krebs wheels lies in large cost savings made 

possible by reducing wheel dressing 

requirements. This has the three major 

advantages of lower wheel waste due to less 

dressing, faster cycle times as wheels can be 

kept grinding longer in between dressing 

them, and also a reduced spend on 

expensive diamond rollers. Krebs and Riedel 

are developing new wheels all the time and 

those are added to the existing collection of 

over 60,000 different wheel types that are 

available from them. 

Tschudin are also present on the AGS 

stand to discuss the many advantages that 

their range of CNC Centerless grinding 

machines bring. These are used to grind 

parts from 0.1mm to 250mm in diameter and 

for the plunge grinding of parts that are up 

to 500mm long. Uniquely for centerless 

grinding machines; all Tschudin machines 

benefit from a special design feature with the 

workrest blade mounted onto its own CNC 

axis. This patented feature allows for the 

blade, complete with components, to be 

transferred outside of the grinding zone for 

safe and easy loading and unloading of the 

parts. This overcomes the dangers involved 

in trying to load parts in between the 

grinding and control wheels which is the 

case for all other centerless grinding 

machines. Proline versions also benefit from 

another patented feature which is the 

automatic control of the height adjustment 

of the control wheel. This means that 

operators no longer have to battle with 

making constant adjustments for wheel wear 

to ensure that the grinding point always 

remains the same. This necessary adjustment 

is done fully automatically on the Tschudin 

Proline machines. All Tschudin machines 

benefit from having the machines bed and 

blocks made entirely from solid natural 

granite. This guarantees the maximum 

amount of thermo-stability with the high 

density ensuring maximum stability and 

strength. 

The range of grinding and finishing 

machinery receiving its UK debut can all be 

seen on the AGS stand 18-328 at Mach.

FINISHING – MACH FINTEK STAND 19-16 

media and metal workpiece. It achieves this 

by quickly alternating the direction of the 

rotating heads. Fast acceleration and 

deceleration amplify the finishing forces 

exerted on the workpiece. This produces a 

perfect finish, faster and without 

compromising workpiece geometry. 

All OTEC machines are Industry 4.0 

ready. An advanced package is also available 

on CF, DF, and SF machines. This includes an 

industrial PC to give more advanced 

digitalisation. Superior machine monitoring 

and process optimisation via remote 

maintenance are clear benefits. 

Alongside OTEC machines, the company 

brings to the UK the RENA Technologies 

Hirtisation process. This allows Fintek to 

offer AM part post-processing as a 

subcontract service. Hirtisation removes 

support structures, powder cakes and 

partially melted grains. It penetrates extreme 

geometry complexity and small diameter 

holes. 

MACH 2024 sees Fintek reach its 42nd 

year. Forty-two is the answer to the ultimate 

question of life, the universe and everything! 

At least, according to Douglas Adam’s 

creation, Deep Thought, a giant computer in 

his acclaimed book, Hitchhiker’s Guide to 

the Galaxy. Fintek may not be able to verify 

that answer. Yet, 42 years serving the post 

processing and surface finishing needs of UK 

component manufacturers is no small feat. 

They bring this wealth of cross-industry 

expertise to their customers. 

www.fintek.co.uk 

with diameters of 14-30mm and hole depths 

of 3xD and 5xD on all machines. Their wearresistant

completely reusable materials, offering a 

low-waste, sustainable drilling solution. 

Specialised for steel and casting materials, 

the WPC-Change drilling system will prove 

to be efficient in any machine. 

Moving from drilling to hydraulic chucks, 

CERATIZIT’s expansion of their HyPower 

hydraulic chucks means that even the most 

difficult machining requirements can be met 

with ease. For rough and demanding 

machining operations, the HyPower Rough 

is tough enough to take on any challenge, 

and for optimum accessibility in the 

machining zone, the HyPower Access 4.5° 

offers itself as a highly flexible adapter for 

machining contoured components. The 

chucks come in 16 and 20mm diameters for a 

32mm cylinder diameter as well as in 

variations of 16, 20 and 25 mm for a 40mm 

cylinder diameter, which all will be on 

display at the exhibition. 

On the thread milling side of cutting tool 

innovation is the MonoThread, a champion 

of CERATIZIT’s performance line. 

Delivering an improvement on performance 

of 20%, this thread milling cutter upgrade is 

ideal for all standardised thread profiles with 

all tolerances and especially for

As well as giving UK exhibition premieres to 

new product lines, the Kerf Developments 

stand at MACH 2024 will have a more 

diverse and expansive range of products on 

show than ever before. On Stand 330 in Hall 

6, the Rochdale manufacturer that supplies 

oxy/fuel, plasma, waterjet and fiber laser 

cutting machines will be introducing two 

brand new machines at MACH. The new 

premieres will also be complemented with 

automated cutting and welding solutions 

from technical partner Lincoln Electric. 

The first new machine to be presented at 

MACH 2024 will be the new Kerf Ultra, this 

new arrival provides both oxy/fuel and 

plasma cutting in a single machine solution. 

This combination machine drastically 

expands the cutting capabilities, flexibility 

and processing speed for end users whilst 

reducing set-up time and material 

changeovers. For customers of the 

longstanding industry-leading Kerf models, 

the new Ultra will be a technological leap 

forward that marks the arrival of the next 

generation of profile cutting technology. This 

innovation brings the performance, speed 

and precision of laser cutting to a plasma 

cutting platform for the first time. 

With significantly improved speed, 

precision, repeatability and cut quality than 

previous models, the new Ultra achieves 

these elevated parameters by introducing a 

brand new motion system and new linear 

slide technology that sits upon a brand new 

machine frame design. This combination of 

factors provides vibration-free cutting under 

the most challenging of conditions that 

subsequently delivers a remarkably smooth 

cutting motion and ultimately an 

unparalleled cut quality that eliminates 

secondary hand finishing. 

From a specification perspective, the new 

machine that is designed around a solid 

fabricated portal frame utilising independent 

rails can be offered in cutting table sizes from 

3m x 1.5m right the way through to 40m x 

4m. The machine is controlled by the 

industry leading Burny 10 

LCD PLUS CNC control 

system and also has a new 

heat shielding system that 

extends the performance and 

longevity of the machine. 

The new arrival can be 

configured with UltraSharp 

plasma technology, as a 

single or multi-head oxy-fuel 

cutting machine or as a 

combination machine with 

both technologies supported 

on the same machine. It is 

available in a range of widths 

and lengths to suit customers requirements. 

There is also a wide range of Lincoln Electric 

Fineline plasma units to chose from. 

One feature of the new Ultra machine is 

the unique oxy/fuel Automatic Gas Console 

(AGC) available from Kerf. This will help to 

address the skill shortage in the industry as 

the AGC replicates the skill and knowledge 

of an experienced machine operator using 

pre-programmed technology databases. 

Through digital proportional valves, this 

technology sets variables such as cut heights 

for piercing, low and high preheat gas 

pressures, and the pierce curve reducing 

spatter and blow back. 

The new AGC on the Kerf Ultra also 

reduces gas consumption, increases 

consumable life, improves cut quality and 

helps to de-skill the process for the machine 

operator. 

The second new machine to land at 

MACH 2024 will be an exciting new LINC- 

CUT FIBER 1530A Fiber Laser system that is 

also brand new to the UK. More details on 

this machine will be made available closer to 

the show. One thing that Kerf will be proud 

to discuss at MACH is its partnership with 

Lincoln Electric, the world’s largest 

manufacturer of cutting and welding 

equipment. As an outright industry leader, 

the reputation of Lincoln Electric is 

unsurpassed in its field. At MACH, Lincoln 

representatives will be on the Kerf stand to 

present the latest Linc-Cobot system for 

collaborative robotic welding as well as 

demonstrating the Python X automated 

cutting technology alongside the Zeman 

automated beam welding technology. 

With the new product arrivals that 

complete the product portfolio, Kerf is now 

the UK’s leading partner for all your 

profiling requirements. On Stand 330 in Hall 

6, the diversity of high-quality cutting 

solutions combined with the welding and 

automation technology from Lincoln Electric 

will make the stand the ‘one-stop-shop’ for 

all your cutting and welding requirements.

massive ribbed castings for maximum rigidity. 

Matched with the Siemens 828D control with 

ShopMill and options for 4th axis rotary tables, 

this machine has the power and capability to 

machine the toughest materials. 

For full 5-axis simultaneous machining the 

XYZ UMC-5X can save hours in setup time 

especially where 6 sides of a part need to be 

milled or drilled. With suitable fixturing full 

In 2005, Makino-NCMT Grinding Division 

was established to develop and sell throughout 

Europe Makino machining platforms for creepfeed 

VIPER grinding of nickel alloys. Since 

2015, NCMT has also been the Europe-wide 

agent for photo-activated adhesive 

workholding systems manufactured by Blue 

Photon in the US. 

Most recently, at the beginning of 2024 

NCMT signed an exclusive distribution 

agreement in the UK and Ireland 

with Tritone Technologies, a global 

leader in additive manufacturing 

(AM) technology specialising in 

metal and ceramic applications. 

Typical AM components will be 

available to demonstrate the 

technology and there will be 

representation from the Israeli

the rotary axis and an option on the tilting axis. 

A 15,000 rpm spindle, Dynamic Collision 

Monitoring and Thermal Spindle 

Compensation are standard with options for 

18,000 and 24,000 rpm spindles and Traori hole 

machining compensation making this a 

powerful and cost effective solution which has 

proved to be popular with aerospace 

manufacturers. 

The stand will also feature the ever-popular 

RMX Bed Mills, KMX Turret Mills and RLX 

Lathes. These machines can be used manually 

or under full CNC with their ProtoTRAK® 

controls. This makes learning and operating the 

machines very simple, quickly and easily 

getting to a finished component. 

This year, XYZ Machine Tools is celebrating 

40 years since it was founded. Now it has over 

15,000 machines in daily use in the UK and

aluminium and does so without sacrificing 

dimensional accuracy, finish quality or 

productivity. At the show, the machine will be 

equipped with a Cellro X20 robotic system for 

component load / unload and storage. 

The M560-V-e has a 1,050 x 560 x 460 mm 

working envelope and a maximum table load of 

900 kg. The 15,000 rpm BT40 spindle moves in 

the X and Z axes, with the table moving in Y. A 

32-position tool magazine is provided. Software 

can be added, including Machining Navi to 

minimise chatter by finding the best cutting 

conditions. It employs a microphone to detect 

the onset of vibration and feeds information 

back to the control. A change in spindle speed is 

then recommended so that an adjustment can 

be made to suppress the chatter. 

The popular Genos M460-5AX VMC with a 

working volume of 762 x 460 x 460 mm will be 

at MACH and will be one of the first Okuma 

machines to be exhibited in the UK with the

EFFICIENT, TRENDSETTING AND SUSTAINABLE Hall 6, Booth 829 

As an essential step in manufacturing 

processes, parts cleaning significantly 

contributes to high product quality and adds 

considerable value.Therefore, almost all 

industrial sectors are confronted with more 

stringent particulate and film-type 

cleanliness specifications. Ecoclean will 

provide information about its trendsetting 

product portfolio, which is optimally tailored 

to fulfil a broad range of cleaning 

applications with highest cleanliness 

requirements. By way of example, an 

advanced EcoCwave machine will be shown 

live on the booth to illustrate the various 

features and process options. 

Regardless of the industry sector, parts 

cleaning is one of the critical processes in 

manufacturing today. Due to increasing 

demands on component performance and 

reliability, new products, changed 

manufacturing, coating and bonding 

technologies as well as modified materials, 

the requirements for particulate and film-like 

cleanliness are constantly rising. This is 

particularly true in high tech sectors such as 

the semiconductor supply industry, medical 

device engineering, aviation and aerospace 

industry, optical and optoelectronic industry 

as well as vacuum, laser and analysis 

technologies. In order to solve these 

challenging cleaning tasks in a needs- based, 

efficient and sustainable manner, not only is 

comprehensive technological know-how 

required but also knowledge of the 

applications and respective physical 

relationships. As a full-range supplier of 

future-oriented, flexible, and energy-efficient 

solutions for industrial component cleaning, 

Ecoclean and UCM, the Group’s division 

specializing in precision and ultra-fine 

cleaning, have both and cover the entire 

spectrum of wet-chemical processes using 

water-based media, solvents and modified 

alcohols. This means that cleaning processes 

and systems, including the most suitable 

process technologies such as injection flood 

washing, spray cleaning, high-pressure, 

immersion, ultrasonic, megasonic and 

plasma cleaning, as well as Ultrasonic Plus or 

Pulsated Pressure Cleaning (PPC) as well as 

drying techniques for both batch and 

individual part cleaning, can be very 

efficiently tailored to product and companyspecific 

requirements. Machine and process 

design is carried out in the company’s own 

test centers, which include cleanrooms as 

well as adapted plant and measuring 

technology available for tasks in medical 

technology and for high-purity applications. 

At this year’s Ecoclean (Hall 6, Booth 829) 

will inform about its broad range of adapted 

system concepts for batch and single parts 

cleaning with aqueous media and 

environmentally compatible solvents, as well 

as matching high-purity equipment 

packages. The latter will be demonstrated on 

the example of the advanced EcoCwave for 

immersion and spraying processes with 

water-based cleaning agents. The system 

technology, media routing, media 

preparation and design of this full-vacuum 

single-chamber system have been specially 

adapted for high-end cleaning applications. 

Thus, it is capable of achieving consistent 

results that meet highest requirements, even 

if it concerns geometrically complex 

components. Process options that can be 

combined in almost any way, such as high 

pressure spray cleaning, ultrasonic, plasma 

cleaning, as well as PPC, contribute to this.

TOP QUALITY MACHINERY

CITIZEN MACHINERY – 

THE NEXT LEVEL Hall 20 Stand 361 

Citizen Machinery will reaffirm its position 

not only as one of the leading suppliers of 

bar-fed lathes into the British and Irish 

markets, but also as a pioneer in 

implementing attendant technologies that 

take that pre-eminence to the next level in 

terms of innovative production. The 

company’s patented LFV (low frequency 

vibration) chip breaking software, its wealth 

of options for automating production, and 

integral laser cutting in its Cincom slidinghead 

lathes are three examples. 

The focus will be on Citizen’s proprietary 

LFV operating system software that ensures 

efficient chip breaking and every slidinghead 

mill-turn centre on the stand will have 

this functionality. 2024 marks the sixth 

anniversary of the technology’s launch. 

It has had a transformative effect on sales 

of Cincom sliders around the world, and also 

of selected models within Citizen’s fixedhead 

Miyano turning centre range, owing to 

the superiority of chip breaking over that 

achievable with conventional pecking 

macros and dwells. That is especially the case 

when machining stainless steel, aluminium, 

copper, various exotic materials and plastics. 

There is also a noticeable improvement in 

tool life and surface finish due to the 

avoidance of recutting of chips. 

Problems arising from stringy swarf 

entangling around the workpiece and tool 

are prevented by vibrating the X and Z servo 

axes in the direction of cutting in synchrony 

with rotation of the spindle. The function, 

which has three alternative modes, may be 

used with static and driven tools. It is 

especially helpful in generating manageable 

chip sizes when grooving, drilling deep, 

small-diameter holes, and internal and 

external thread cutting. 

A versatile variant has been added to the 

Cincom L20 sliding-head CNC turning 

centre range from Citizen Machinery. The 

L20-XII, which has a 135-degree swivelling B- 

axis mounted on the gang tool post for 

working at either of the opposed spindles, is 

now available with an automatic tool 

changer (ATC) for swapping up to 30 mm 

diameter cutters in a chip-to-chip time of four 

seconds. Both the tool carrier and magazine 

move in the Y1-axis to effect tool change. 

Believed to be a first in a sliding-head 

turning machine, the ability to exchange 12 

different cutters in the lower position of the 

B-axis carrier greatly extends the machine’s 

versatility when executing angled cross 

working or end facing operations. A 13th tool 

is fixed in the upper position on the carrier. 

While the cutters are normally live for 

performing drilling, slitting, hobbing or 

multi-axis milling, positions may be filled by 

turning tools if expedient. 

The total number of cutters that may be 

mounted in the working area of the Cincom 

L20-XIIATC is 34, providing considerable 

flexibility to ensure that components are 

machined in as few set-ups as possible, 

normally one. Tools are driven by a 2.2 kW 

motor at up to 12,000 rpm, so even small 

diameter mills are capable of productive 

metal removal rates. 

As its designation implies, the lathe is 

designed to turn components from 20 mm 

diameter bar, although oversized options 

allow up to 25 mm diameter material to be 

accepted. Another feature contributing to the 

lathe’s versatility is the ability to switch over 

quickly between sliding-head operation and 

non-guide bush turning for more economical 

production of shorter components up to 

typically 2.5D. 

Visitors to the Citizen Machinery UK 

stand will learn that the configuration of the 

12 mm bar capacity Cincom L12-X ideally 

suits it to the production of dental abutments 

and implants, as well as medical industry 

parts in general. Multiple rear-facing 

endworking tool positions including driven 

stations are provided, as well as a Y2-axis to 

the X2 and Z2 movements on the counter 

spindle to match the three degrees of 

freedom on the main spindle. 

Two Cincom lathes on the stand will have 

32 mm bar capacity, including the L32-VIII, 

which accepts 38 mm stock if the guide bush 

is removed. It is one of four machines with 

exclusively gang toolposts in a modular 

range that allows a user to select a precise 

specification to suit the intended 

applications, while retaining the option of 

adding extra functionality later. The version 

on show will be a 7-axis model with up to 30 

tools, said to have an excellent costperformance 

ratio. 

The other model is Citizen’s flagship 

sliding-headstock lathe, the 10-axis Cincom 

M32-VIII, now in its fifth design iteration.

SODICK TO SHOW 

FULL-LINE 

SOLUTIONS 

Stand 350 Hall 20 

Returning to MACH bigger and better than 

ever before, Sodick Europe together with sole 

UK distributor Sodi-Tech EDM will return to 

MACH with its largest-ever MACH show 

stand. On Stand 350 Hall 20, there will be a 

host of exhibition premieres with a total of 

six machines at the show to provide live 

demonstrations for show visitors. 

The Sodick showstopper will 

undoubtedly be the new VN600Q precision 

wire-cut EDM machine, the GL30-LP 

injection moulding machine with the new V- 

Line system, the UX450L linear motor driven 

machining centre and the ALC600G iG+E 

wire EDM machine with iGroove+ 

technology. The MACH debutants will be 

accompanied by the AD35L die sink EDM 

and the AL60G EDM die sink machine. The 

AL60G will incorporate an Erowa Compact 

80 robotic loading system with a Zeiss 

DuraMax measurement and probing system. 

This combination will provide live 

demonstrations of how you can integrate a 

state-of-the-art automation solution with 

your EDM machine for applications in the 

mould and die industry. 

Dazzling the crowds at MACH will be the 

facelift model of the AD35L EDM die sink 

machine, a model typified by its high-speed 

capabilities and rapid acceleration linear 

motors that deliver optimum performance. 

From a specification standpoint, the AD35L 

has a compact footprint with a spacious work 

area with a travel of 350 X 250 X 270mm in 

the X, Y and Z-axis. This powerful, precise 

workhorse has a tank capacity of 180L, a 

workpiece capacity of up to 550kg and a 

maximum electrode weight of 50kg. 

Manufacturers attending MACH can witness 

the merits of the new LN3 control with a 

touchscreen Windows interface that 

streamlines programming and operation 

through the LN Professional suite while the 

extra large tank is easily accessible and 

ergonomically efficient for users. 

Incorporating in-house developed direct 

drive linear motors, a 4-station ATC shuttle 

and the SGF discharge unit that minimises 

electrode wear. This is perfect for 

manufacturers of high-end precision parts in 

the aerospace, automotive and electronics 

industries. 

From the wire EDM portfolio, Sodick will 

give a UK exhibition premiere to the new 

VN600Q precision wire-cut EDM machine. 

With an automatic wire threading unit for 

continuous machining and Sodick’s Fixed Jet 

AWT system that has a pop-up search, wire 

annealing, a compact wire collection 

mechanism, precision wire threading guides 

as well as upper and lower guides with 

automated cleaning, the VN600Q has been 

designed for continuous production with 

unparalleled flexibility. With 70% of EDM 

energy typically consumed in the treatment 

of dielectric fluid, the VN600Q significantly 

reduces operational costs with its new fluid 

control circuit that uses an inverter to control 

the vertical flushing flow rate during 

machining. With its newly developed 

energy-saving pump and the Intelligent 

Monitoring Circuit that monitors the vertical 

flushing flow rate, the VN Series achieves a 

remarkable 20% decrease in power 

consumption, including standby, when 

compared to standard models – making this 

range attractive to all budgets. When 

combined with the LN3W controller, the 

cutting speed is increased by up to 15%, 

making this new arrival an exceptionally 

efficient and productive addition to your 

machine shop. 

Destined to wow the crowds at MACH 

will be the ALC600G iG+E wire-cut EDM 

machine with the new standard iGroove Plus 

wire rotation mechanism. This new 

technology patented by Sodick rotates the 

wire during the skim cut to enable parts to be 

machined from top to bottom with the 

unconsumed surface of the wire. This 

provides improved surface finishes and 

geometric accuracy whilst significantly 

reducing wire consumption and associated 

costs. The machine also has the Sodick 

Motion Controller (K-SMC) which plays a 

pivotal role in accurately controlling the 

high-speed and precise movements of the

ECLIPSE MAGNETICS SHOWCASES 

HIGH-PERFORMANCE FILTERS 

Eclipse Magnetics will be showcasing the benefits of its highperformance 

magnetic filtration systems at MACH 2024 in Hall 6, 

stand 36. 

Eclipse Magnetics’ fine particle filtration systems are the most 

effective means of removing problem ferrous particles from 

industrial fluids such as coolants, lubricants, and wash solutions. 

They offer significant cost, time, and environmental benefits over 

traditional membrane or barrier filtration methods. 

A combination of high-intensity Neodymium magnetic cores and 

advanced fluid flow dynamics ensures that even the finest ferrous 

particles are removed from circulation. The resultant cleaner fluids 

ensure reduced usage of consumable filter media, longer fluid life, 

reduced maintenance downtime, and an improved quality surface 

finish. 

Magnetic filtration systems also help with the journey to “Net 

Zero” by reducing waste and resultant disposal costs. They can 

considerably reduce the usage and disposal of contaminated fluids 

and filtration media. In addition, the ferrous particles collected can 

also be reclaimed and recycled. 

Featured on the stand will be the wide range of product choices, 

from the manual clean Micromag for flow rates up to 150 litres per 

minute up to the Automag Skid, which has an integral automated 

cleaning and reclaim unit. Multi-Automag units are suitable for flow 

rates up to 10,000 litres per minute. 

An operational Autofiltrex automated clean filter will also feature 

on the stand to spotlight its simple operation and fine particle 

performance. Autofiltrex is a cost-effective option for automated, 

24/7 operations. 

Magnetic filters are now widely used in a vast range of 

applications, including precision automotive parts, precision steel 

finishing applications, bearings, precision tools, and parts wash 

systems. 

www.eclipsemagnetics.com. 


ADVANCED WORKHOLDING PRODUCTS 

WILL FEATURE ALONGSIDE INTEGRATED 

MOULD AND DIE HANDLING Hall 6, Stand 419 

For the first time at a major UK exhibition, 

Roemheld will demonstrate its recently 

introduced, mechanically operated, centric 

(self-centring) machine vice. Manufactured 

in the group’s Austrian factory in Rankweil, 

the new Hilma.UC 125 vice is of modular 

build and is intended for 3- to 5-axis 

prismatic machining applications. 

The design ensures easy tool access to the 

workpiece from all sides, allowing the use of 

short tools for high precision machining in a 

single set-up. Versatility in operation is 

ensured by having a separate vice base and 

two individual jaws that, when a single 

handle is turned, travel simultaneously 

inwards towards the centre to clamp the 

workpiece and out again to release it. 

Clamping force exerted via the upper 

spindle is up to 52 kN. A central bearing on 

the lower, unloaded spindle, which is used 

for positioning the jaws, ensures that each 

component is clamped precisely in the centre 

of the vice. Repeatability of workholding 

from part to part is better than ± 0.01 mm. 

As the clamping spindle is turned, force is 

applied to the workpiece via outer claws over 

the jaws. An active pull-down mechanism in 

the clamping jaws prevents the workpiece 

from lifting. Having both a tensioning 

spindle and an adjustment spindle prevents 

force being applied to the base, avoiding 

distortion. 

The universal clamp, hence UC in the 

product name, can be adapted to 

accommodate a wide variety of prismatic 

and round workpiece geometries and sizes in 

just a few steps. The jaw opening can be 

extended quickly to 600 mm, one of the 

largest available on the market. 

Numerous jaws up to 125 mm wide for 

securing a wide range of different raw and 

finished parts are offered as part of the 

modular system. Additional expense in 

buying extra workholding equipment is 

therefore normally avoided, even when 

production requirements are diverse. 

There are several options for mounting 

the vice. It can either be secured directly to 

the machining centre table, or in a zero-point 

clamping system. Adapter plates are 

available for added versatility. 

Available in three jaw widths – 100, 125 or 

160 mm – and in up to five standard lengths 

from 380 to 1,200 mm per jaw type, the 

HILMA.NC vice is a modular workholding 

system especially well suited to use on 

vertical machining centres. Depending on the 

machining strategy and degree of 

automation, the clamping force can be 

applied manually using a crank handle 

(HILMA.NC) or hydraulically by means of a 

power unit (HILMA.NCH). 

The base of the vice can be fixed to the 

machine table by means of a zero point 

clamping system, clamping claws or bolts. 

Optional reworking of the base allows 

additional positioning and fixation options. 

An extensive range of jaws rounds off the 

flexible clamping system. 

Rapid coarse adjustment is achieved by 

pulling out the socket pin, allowing the 

clamping slide to be moved freely. Fine 

adjustment of the jaw to the component is 

completed by turning the crank handle to 

rotate the threaded spindle, after which the 

clamping force builds up linearly to ensure 

secure workholding. This is done by hand for 

the mechanical version, or actuated 

hydraulically to a preset force by a separate 

power unit or by the machine tool’s 

hydraulics. 

Semi-automatic workpiece exchange in 

production enables fast, efficient and safe 

handling of components, resulting in high 

productivity and quality. Several clamping 

locations on a machine table can be actuated 

simultaneously. If a foot switch is used, twohanded 

loading and unloading assists 

production if workpieces are heavy or large 

batches are involved. 

Clamping force is reproducible and is 

continuously displayed to ensure a secure 

gripping action without deforming or 

damaging the component. It is consequently 

possible to rough and finish in the same 

clamping by varying the force, so there is no 

tolerance build-up and process reliability is 

ensured.

AFFORDABLE STANDARD CMMS GAIN EXTRA ACCURACY 

Hall 19, Stand 540 

Manufacturers wishing to inspect 

components machined to tight tolerances, 

but unwilling to invest in an expensive, ultrahigh-accuracy 

coordinate measuring 

machine (CMM), now have the option of 

selecting an ALTERA C HA (high accuracy) 

from LK Metrology. Available in five sizes, 

the largest 15.9.7 model will be exhibited on 

the company’s stand at MACH 2024. 

The ceramic-bridge machines are 

constructed from the same component parts 

as the standard ALTERA C range, but are 

optimised during build at the company’s 

Derbyshire production facility to deliver 16 

percent higher accuracy during a measuring 

cycle, with 13 percent better repeatability and 

50 percent more accurate scanning. 

When implementing design 

improvements to the ALTERA C HA, 

particular attention was paid to upgrading 

the moving bridge. The spread of the air 

bearings supporting the main drive leg has 

been widened to increase the stiffness of the 

bridge assembly by 17 percent overall, which 

is particularly beneficial during high-speed 

movements. Advantages to the user are 

considerable, as measuring uncertainty when 

chasing tolerances down to microns is 

significantly better. For the same reason, the 

bearing mountings have been further 

stiffened and their alignment improved. Due 

to the increased dynamic forces in play when 

measuring on the fly, the new design is 

especially helpful when using a scanning 

probe. 

New on show also at MACH 2024 will be 

LK’s own CMM laser scanning probe, SLK25 

VIVID, and the TSR-5 tool change and 

storage rack, both of which are affordable 

solutions, as well as automation with a 

collaborative robot, and a second-generation 

LK FREEDOM arm with L100 VIVID laser 

scanner. Additionally there will be a 

standard ALTERA C CMM, the latest version 

of LK’s CAMIO programming, analysis and 

reporting software, including the popular 

module for automated inspection of gears, 

and the LK FREEDOM rotary index table that 

speeds inspection of parts using an 

articulated arm, raising metrology 

productivity. Industry-leading third-party 

hardware and software will also be in 

evidence on the stand.

Mills CNC, the exclusive distributor of 

DN Solutions’ and Zayer machine tools in 

the UK and Ireland, is exhibiting an 

advanced Zayer XIOS G MT 6-axis multitasking 

machine on its stand at MACH 2024 

(HALL 19 – Stand 110). 

The machine, one of 16 being showcased 

by Mills CNC, is making its UK debut at the 

event and will, according to company 

sources “not only prove to be a highlight of 

Mills’ stand but of the whole show itself.” 

“The XIOS G MT is a big mill-turn 

machine”, say Tony Dale, Mills CNC’s CEO. 

“To appreciate its size – simply visit Mills 

stand: you literally can’t miss it.” 

The XIOS G MT is one in a range of Zayer 

multi-tasking bed mills now available from 

Mills CNC. 

The machine on show at MACH 2024 has 

large X-, Y- and Z-axis travels (4000mm x 

1600mm x 2000mm), and a sizeable 

worktable (2000mm x 2000mm) with a 

12,000kg maximum table load that makes it 

ideal for machining big and heavy 

components for the aerospace, automotive, 

rail, energy, oil and gas sectors, as well as for 

large mould tool applications. 

Machining flexibility is also ensured by 

the integration of a 1500mm x 1500mm builtin 

rotary table, a powerful 40kW/6000rpm 

spindle a 5-axis/45-degree milling head and 

a generous -sized tool changer (up to 80 

tools). 

Despite its size, the XIOS G MT is fast and 

accurate boasting 35m/min rapids on its X-, 

Y- and Z-axes, and positional and repeatable 

accuracies of 0.008mm and 0.005mm 

respectively. 

Although being showcased with a 45- 

degree head (360,000 positions), the machine 

can be supplied with different head 

configurations (i.e. 30-degree head or an 

electro-spindle 33kW/18,000rpm option) and 

a range of software apps (developed inhouse 

by Zayer) to increase the machine’s 

potential and appeal. 

Says Tony Dale: 

“The Zayer XIOS G MT will, I am certain, 

prove popular with MACH show visitors 

and substantiates our out-of-this-world stand 

theme and concept.”

STARRAG – WILL BE MAGIC 

Stand 320 in Hall 18 

At MACH 2024, Starrag will present a host of new technologies that 

are yet to be seen in the UK. With so many machines receiving world 

premieres at EMO in September, the Starrag stand at MACH will be 

crammed with innovations. 

On Stand 320 in Hall 18 will have everything from new machine 

technologies, virtual showroom platforms and the new global market 

position. The ‘meet and greet’ booth even promises light 

entertainment with a magician performing on the stand. At MACH, 

Starrag will be presenting its latest innovations from across the 

company’s diverse portfolio of high-performance solution-driven 

machine tools. From the Bumotec product range, Starrag will present 

its latest turn/mill product lines that can now be viewed in the

HORN TO PRESENT NEW TOOLS FOR BORING, MILLING, 

THREAD WHIRLING AND TURNING Hall 6, Stand 210 

Paul Horn, the solid carbide tooling, carbide 

insert and tool holder manufacturer 

headquartered in Tübingen, Germany, has 

supplied more than 200,000 special tooling 

solutions over the years and currently offers 

25,000 standard products, including five due 

to be introduced to the UK and Irish markets 

at MACH 2024. Wholly-owned subsidiary 

Horn Cutting Tools will be on stand 6-210 to 

explain the reasons behind the launches and 

will also exhibit a broad cross section of the 

manufacturer's extensive tooling range. 

An addition to the Horn Supermini 

boring, grooving and chamfering system will 

be announced, a variant with a precisionground 

rake face designed for producing 

ultra-fine bores. The ground cutting edge is 

free from notches when viewed at a 

magnification of x200 and the tool can be 

used to machine components having an 

inside diameter from just 0.3 mm. Sharp 

insert geometry ensures process reliability, 

even with very small infeed and cutting feed 

rates. The specially developed coating is 

suitable for stainless steels, non-ferrous 

metals and other metals. 

Horn has developed a new, solid carbide 

milling cutter range for machining stainless 

steels, widely used in the food, chemical and 

pharmaceutical sectors, as well as in the 

watchmaking and other precision 

engineering industries. Due to their 

geometry and efficient chip breaking, the 

mills are suitable for machining numerous 

other materials as well. The combination of 

substrate, macro and micro geometry, and 

IG3 coating exhibits high cutting 

performance and long tool life. The coating in 

particular offers high temperature resistance 

for machining steels alloyed with chromium, 

nickel and molybdenum. 

A new, high-performance, carbide grade 

from Horn, the SG3P, presents enhanced 

possibilities in terms of performance and tool 

life when whirling medical screws. It enables 

shorter cycle times for thread production 

thanks to higher cutting values, including 

when processing materials that traditionally 

are difficult to machine. In addition, the 

combination of an ultra-fine-grain carbide 

powder and a high-temperature-resistant 

coating raises process reliability and 

improves component quality. In-house 

coating of the inserts enables fast delivery 

times and the carbide grade is available for 

all standard Horn thread whirling systems. 

A long overhang can cause a turning tool 

to oscillate when boring internal geometries. 

In addition to causing chatter marks on the 

surface of the machined component, the 

vibrations can lead to a significant reduction 

in tool life. For unfavourable length-todiameter 

ratios, even damped boring bars 

may vibrate under certain conditions. To 

help mitigate these difficulties, Horn has 

introduced a boring bar with adjustable 

damping so it can be set to match the 

amplitude of the oscillation generated by the 

machining process. Precise adjustment 

enables vibration-free turning, resulting in 

better surface quality of the machined 

component and a significant increase in 

insert life. 

Horn is also launching a new tool range 

for manufacturing brake discs economically. 

It includes solid CBN (cubic boron nitride) 

ISO inserts, mainly used for cast iron 

machining, and CBN-tipped full-radius and 

shaped inserts. The grade has no metallic 

bonding phase and therefore has the highest 

hot hardness of all cutting materials. Horn 

offers the solid CBN ISO S turning insert 

with eight cutting edges for roughing and 

finishing. Cutting speeds of well over 1,000 

m/min, depths of cut of several millimetres 

and feed rates up to 0.7 mm/rev are typical 

values. Stable tool carriers are included in the 

offering. Depending on the operation and 

metal removal rate, in excess of 1,000 cast 

iron brake discs can be machined per insert 

corner.

LANTEK BRINGS ITS FULL SUITE OF SHEET METAL SOFTWARE 

Lantek, specialists in sheet metal CAD/CAM and ERP software will 

be exhibiting its latest software, Hall 17 Stand 319. 

Flexibility is one of the major improvements in Lantek Expert, 

making it easy to move nests of parts between different machines as 

production requirements dynamically change without the need for 

manual adjustments. New is the Assembly 2 Nesting software. Here, 

customers can import a complete 3D model assembly of parts. These 

are individually sorted and unfolded in the Lantek software, nested 

and then cut in the shortest possible time, without the user needing 

their own CAD system to do 3D model manipulation. 

For tube and pipe work, Lantek Flex3D has seen some 

fundamental changes which reduce execution times. The software 

also helps eliminate collisions through hole destruction technology 

and aims for a ‘no scrap’ target with micro joints connecting parts 

together to use up every bit of the tube material. 

Lantek’s Machine Connectivity makes it possible to directly 

connect to different machines, gathering information from the 

machine automatically. This data is fed into the Lantek Control Panel 

app which provides a cloud-based interface to monitor the cutting 

machine state irrespective of its type or technology, without operator 

intervention, in real-time. The app can be accessed on a tablet or 

mobile device so that the collected and merged data can be viewed 

by managers giving them a real-time overview of the complete 

production process and manufacturing facility. The app also displays 

utilisation rates so that free capacity can be allocated and, gives 

warnings when unexpected events occur, so that remedial action can 

be taken without delay. 

Adam Ball, Solutions Sales Manager for Lantek UK says, “This 

technology is particularly useful for companies that use a mix of 

This year’s MACH sees Laser Lines with two stands at the show

SMART FLANGE BEARINGS FROM IGUS HELP 

PREVENT MACHINE FAILURE 

New generation of igubal spherical plain 

bearings are equipped with a predictive 

maintenance system 

Costly machine failures due to undetected 

defects in demanding applications should soon 

be made redundant, thanks to a new generation 

of two- and four-hole flange bearings with 

“smart” features. The lubrication-free highperformance 

plastic bearings are equipped with 

miniature wireless sensors that enable 

condition monitoring and aid predictive 

maintenance. 

A maintenance technician is working on, for 

example, a conveyor belt in a bottling factory. 

His phone app notifies him that a flange bearing 

is approaching its wear limit. 

While previously there was a risk that this 

would go undetected and lead to an expensive 

system failure, today the technician can spot the 

issue and replace the bearing during the 

production break. “This scenario is no longer 

science fiction. As part of our smart plastics 

range, we are gradually equipping plain 

bearings made of high-performance plastic with 

networked sensors,” says Rob Dumayne, drytech 

director at igus. "Our two- and four-hole 

flange bearings of the igubal series can now also 

enable condition monitoring and predictive 

maintenance so as to avoid unforeseen 

damage." 

Flange bearings transmit their 

status by radio 

How do the new “Industry 4.0” connected 

bearings work? 

igus integrates an abrasion sensor into the 

To accommodate the diverse needs of the 

marketplace, Starrag Heckert has now 

introduced its new H Compact Series of 

horizontal machining centres. The benefits of 

horizontal machining centres can sometimes be 

overshadowed by the sizeable footprint of the 

machines in comparison to their vertical 

counterparts - with the H Compact Series, 

Starrag Heckert delivers the benefits of a 

horizontal with a compact footprint that will 

appeal to manufacturers. 

Looking at the merits of the new H Compact 

machines, Lee Scott from Starrag says: “The 

new machines are called ‘Compact’ as they have 

a very compact size. They are horizontal 

machines which denote the ‘H’ and they are 

fitted with a trunnion table with 5-axis 

capability that provides an impressive X-axis 

range. We can also incorporate a high-speed 

table on the machine for turning - this 

configuration gives us the ‘T’ range. In its basic 

guise, it is a twin pallet horizontal machining 

centre with a monobloc mineral cast material 

base that is very vibration-absorbent and also 

very stiff. The machine design is like a giant 

bathtub where all the chips fall straight out of 

the work area and take all of the heat with them. 

polymer spherical bearing, a thin circuit board, 

plus a battery for power supply without cables. 

This allows the bearing to continue to move 

freely for spherical compensation. As the 

bearing wears, the traces of the board are 

interrupted. When the electronics lose the signal 

of a trace, they know that the wear has reached 

a certain level. The sensor emits a digital signal 

over a Long Range Network (LoRa), a wireless 

standard for the Internet of Things that is 

known for its energy efficiency. This is received 

by the i.Cee control cabinet module, which now 

takes over the data evaluation. The smart 

bearing software now knows that the trace is 

worn out and calculates the percentage of 

abrasion. 

Over time, the sensor wears out layer by 

layer, parallel to the running surface of the 

bearing. And it regularly emits signals that 

allows the control to work out the bearing's 

condition. Users can see the remaining service 

The column then sits on the base with linear 

rails and a direct measuring system across the 

whole of the machine that delivers exceptional 

accuracy and optimal cutting conditions.” 

The machine column also has positive 

leveraged ratios that are credited to maximum 

guideway distances and also weight 

compensation that improves performance, 

accuracy and efficiency of the Y-axis that is 

driven by ball screws. Alluding to the pallet 

system on the new series, Lee says: “It's a twin 

pallet machine and the surface of the pallets are 

ground, so the interfaces are perfect for the 

fixturing, whether it be on a trunnion or a 

standard B-axis. Outside of the machine, we 

then have the setup station. So, whilst the first 

pallet is working inside the machining area, the 

second pallet is either loaded by a robot, an 

FMS or an operator. After all, if the spindle isn’t 

life and when a maintenance call is due on a 

web-based dashboard, that they can see the 

bearing’s status from anywhere in the world 

with a PC, tablet or smartphone. 

Luxembourg's state-owned railway 

company becomes the first pilot customer for 

smart flange bearings. 

The new flange bearings are in the prototype 

phase, and they have already convinced one 

pilot customer: the Société National des 

Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois (CFL). 

Luxembourg's state-owned railway 

company operates a 200-metre-long car wash 

that cleans local and long-distance trains every 

day. In the past, gearbox malfunctions in the 

wash wagon repeatedly led to costly system 

failures. For this reason, CFL has abandoned 

lubricated standard ball bearings and instead 

installed the cross-linked spherical bearings 

from igus in the UC bearing housings. 

The advantage: These high-performance, 

spherical bearings are corrosion-free, chemicalresistant 

and, with integrated solid lubricants, 

enable low-friction and maintenance-free dry 

running. "The other bearings need to be 

lubricated every few weeks, which is timeconsuming," 

says CFL maintenance manager, 

Mike Feinen. "So we've now ticked off this 

maintenance snag." Rob Dumayne adds: "The 

networking of these smart bearings is the icing 

on the cake. Thanks to continuous condition 

monitoring, CFL can prevent failures, plan 

maintenance interventions and make full use of 

the service life of the polymer bearings."

STARRAG PACKS A HIGH-END HMC INTO A SMALL FOOTPRINT 

cutting, the machine isn’t making any money.” 

As you would expect from Starrag, the 

machine has a complete range of spindles 

available. This includes a 30,000rpm spindle 

offering for cutting aluminium, high-torque or 

geared spindles for machining titanium as well 

as quill spindles for extended reach - there is a 

spindle for every application. Referring to the 

tool magazines that feed the spindle, Lee says: 

“The tool magazines start with a single 

magazine, and we can also run a parallel system 

with up to a total of 450 tools on this machine 

frame. You also have to get rid of the chips. This 

machine can create huge volumes of aluminium 

swarf that have to go through the machine and 

out to a swarf system, here the machine frame 

design has been optimised to remove chips 

from the work area at high speed.” 

As an automation-friendly solution, the new 

H Compact Series caters for customers with a 

wide range of options and interfaces to present 

maximum flexibility. Together with systems 

partners like Fastems, Starrag can offer FPC and 

FPT modules as well as integration with robots, 

gantry loading cells and interlinking machines 

from a single source.

NEO RANGE AND SERVICE FOCUS DRIVE STRONG 

LASER SALES FOR MAZAK 

The new NEO range of laser processing 

machines and a strong focus on customer 

service helped Yamazaki Mazak record its 

most successful ever year for laser sales in 

2023. 

The NEO range, which complements 

Mazak’s 2D laser and 3D tube cutting 

machines, has opened up new markets for 

the company within both OEMs and 

subcontractors. 

Ian White, General Sales Manager – Laser 

Products for Yamazaki Mazak, says the NEO 

machines – including the OPTIPLEX NEO 

20kW, a 2D fiber laser with 3015 and 4220 

bed sizes, and the FG-400 NEO fiber laser for 

long tubes, pipes and structural materials – 

have added new capability to the Mazak 

laser range. 

“The NEO machines have helped us 

penetrate new markets, particularly where 

laser users are working with heavy plate – in 

the energy and construction sectors, for 

example. 

“We’ve also recorded a good mix of sales 

into both OEMs and subcontractors, with 

particularly strong results in medical – a 

sector that requires exceptional accuracy and 

cut quality.” 

The strength of Mazak’s service offering 

for laser users has also driven market share. 

Mr White added: “Mazak has invested in 

its service and support for customers, and we 

now have 25 applications staff ready to 

advise. We have also introduced our 

industry-first 24-hour service hotline for 

laser users, which is available even if the 

machine is not under warranty or a service 

contract. The hotline enables customers to 

speak with a UK-based engineer to get their 

machines back up and running at any time of 

the day.” 

Automation has also proved to be a very 

successful selling point for Mazak, with the 

company now boasting the largest range of 

automation options available. 

Mr White said: “We have an exceptionally 

large automation range with more than 50 

options for customers due to our use of 

Mazak’s Open Robot Interface technology, 

which means virtually any automation 

system can be fitted to our machines. We can 

also design bespoke systems tailored to 

individual customer production 

requirements.” 

Mr White says the opening of the 

European Laser Technology Centre in Milan 

has also helped promote Mazak’s laser range. 

“It has been a great addition to our 

Technology Centre network and has raised 

Mazak’s profile among laser users across 

Europe. They can see our entire range in one 

place and easily visit customers similar to 

themselves who are using our laser 

processing machines to drive real 

productivity and profitability.” 

Mazak recently expanded its laser 

manufacturing with a move to a larger 

facility at Minokamo in Japan, which has 

increased production capacity and further 

integrated the company’s operations. 

“Our customers are seeing the advantages 

derived from Mazak’s increased investment 

in laser technology and the ever-closer 

relationship between machine tools and 

laser,” Mr White continued. 

“A lot of subcontractors are moving from 

lasers into wider machining to provide a 

complete manufacturing solution. We are 

benefiting from common controls, including 

engcon's new tiltrotator control system DC3 

takes big steps forward in terms of 

compatibility with other leading excavator 

manufacturing companies worldwide. In 

recent years, engcon has developed a 

completely new control system for 

excavators, the DC3. Last May we announced 

that the DC3 was compatible with Cat® Next 

Gen Hydraulic excavators (NGH) and after 

extensive testing both in the workshop and 

with end customers, the DC3 is now 

compatible with even more of the leading 

excavator manufacturers. 

We are happy about the fact that several 

excavator manufacturers can now connect to 

our new control system, says Martin 

Engström, product owner at engcon. With 

the new system we will really take digging to 

completely new levels, the system is smart, 

easy to install, with improved remote 

the new SmoothLx, which means customers 

can standardise on Mazak technology across 

their facilities.” 

Mr White is confident that 2024 will 

deliver more success. “We’re launching the 

new OPTIPLEX Ez machine – a cost-effective 

laser processing range with multiple 

advanced cutting features – which I believe 

will be very competitive and popular within 

the UK market. 

“Laser users are increasingly 

understanding what Mazak can offer, both in 

terms of our extensive machine range and the 

quality of our service support, which is 

industry leading.”

NEW DUAL SCHEDULING FEATURE TRANSFORMS 

PRODUCTION PLANNING FOR SUBCONTRACTORS 

PSL Datatrack, a prominent UK-based 

provider of production control software, has 

introduced a transformational Dual 

Scheduling feature to its modular system. 

This enhancement offers subcontract 

precision engineering companies a 

simultaneous view of their production 

schedules, calculated by both capacity and 

target date. 

A fundamental aspect of the new Dual 

Scheduling feature is its focus on machine 

availability, allowing for a realistic and 

practical assessment of what can be achieved 

in the workshop. This capacity-based 

approach offers a clear view of potential 

bottlenecks, ensuring a more robust and 

achievable production schedule is generated. 

Dual Scheduling brings a host of 

advantages to PSL Datatrack users by taking 

multiple planning constraints into account. 

Including a view of the Sequential Scheduler 

module calculated by target date now 

ensures that hours not scheduled are 

displayed and utilised effectively. This Justin-Time 

(JIT) scheduling view maximises 

operational efficiency and eliminates wasted 

time on the shop floor. 

By utilising Dual Scheduling, users of the 

software therefore maintain an optimal 

balance between production and recovery 

time, avoiding any compromises that might 

affect overall productivity. 

PSL Datatrack has worked hard to ensure 

that both views are displayed side-by-side 

and can be set up anywhere around a factory 

via Status Boards, providing users with an 

all-encompassing view of their production 

landscape. An additional screen may be 

commissioned to provide detailed insights 

into late jobs, empowering businesses to 

promptly address issues and ultimately 

maintain customer satisfaction. 

Jota Advanced Engineering Limited, an 

enthusiastic user of PSL Datatrack, has 

emphasised the significance of the Dual 

Scheduling innovation. “We have been 

working with PSL Datatrack to manage all of 

our production capabilities and have recently 

collaborated with them to develop an 

extension to the software where we can ‘plan 

to capacity’ using Dual Scheduling,” 

comments Ryan Goodger, Director. 

“By integrating an ‘hours not scheduled 

by target date’ feature, the system can 

automatically schedule all relevant jobs 

further back in the production queue. This 

allows us to analyse the risk for the latest a 

job can be scheduled, as it gives full visibility 

of our capacity and any potential production 

gaps,” continues Ryan. 

The new Dual Scheduling feature 

therefore highlights PSL Datatrack’s 

commitment to streamlining the entire 

production process, empowering 

subcontractors by enhancing operational 

efficiency and reliability throughout. 

“The system itself is logical, innovative 

and gives us the flexibility to reschedule jobs 

without missing a deadline. The visibility of 

the system has been tailored specifically to 

suit our needs and to help us grow and 

adapt,” concludes Ryan.

endmills, bullnose, ball nose endmills, drills 

and taps amongst other niche tooling. This 

variety of tooling is needed to support the 

many different items we machine, including 

but not limited to patterns, moulds, jigs, 

components, inserts, props and models. Add 

into this mix that we machine an array of 

materials and it is very clear that we need a 

tooling supplier with a huge variety of 

options. We also have an onsite vending 

solution from ITC with a comprehensive 

stock level that ITC keep fully serviced to 

support our business.” 

Looking at the cost savings derived from 

the ITC range of cutting tools, Dan Johnston 

adds: “When we conducted a full cost 

analysis of our tooling and the total material 

removed, it’s clearly evident that the ITC 

tooling is great value for money. We have 

managed to control costs over the years and 

ITC has helped to improve efficiencies whilst 

enabling our business to embrace the very 

latest tooling technology for composite 

machining.” 

“On more than one occasion, ITC has 

gone above and beyond to give full technical 

support in the implementation of new 

tooling, applications and machining 

strategies. When presented with a new 

material which we had very little knowledge 

of, ITC built a bespoke suite of tooling and 

trials to support our ambitions to effectively 

and efficiently machine the new material. 

The results have proven extremely 

encouraging and this certainly went a long 

way in building our confidence in working 

with that particular material.” 

In conclusion, Dan says: “We naturally 

demand the highest quality and this applies 

to all aspects of the business. The CNC 

department can maintain and iteratively 

improve by leveraging ITC's knowledge and 

vast array of tooling. Operating with a 

number of OEMs in a wide variety of sectors 

such as the automotive, aerospace, 

motorsport and marine industries to name a 

few, being adaptable to challenges is key. 

With the full support of ITC, we know we 

can attack any challenge and material with 

absolute confidence.”

CASE STUDY 

FABRICATOR REBALANCES BUSINESS TOWARDS 

SUBCONTRACT MACHINING 

Twenty years ago, Gareth Davies started 

Burton-on-Trent company TAS Engineering 

as a steel, stainless steel and aluminium 

fabrication shop serving food and beverage 

customers, the pharmaceutical and 

automotive sectors, and industry in general 

with fire escapes, factory staircases and 

secondary steelwork. 

In 2014, he established a machine shop to 

add extra value to the products the company 

was shaping and welding. Today, there is a 

pair of 3-axis, vertical-spindle machining 

centres on-site and three CNC lathes, the 

latest of which is a second-hand Cincom L20 

sliding-head turning centre from Citizen 

Machinery UK. 

What prompted the purchase in October 

2023 of this 20-year-old lathe, the company's 

first sliding-head model, was a desire to turn 

more efficiently components in a range of 

materials from bar up to 20 mm in diameter. 

A case in point is the ongoing production 

since 2020 of a 16 mm diameter, 316 stainless 

steel magnet holder, which is welded to a 

small, laser-cut and bent plate to form part of 

a safety unit for industrial switchgear. The 

turned component, of which 200 are required 

per month, was previously produced 

complete on one of two fixed-head, twinspindle 

lathes (that have since been sold) in a 

2.5-minute cycle. 

Mr Davies had previous experience of 

programming and setting sliding-head 

lathes, albeit from 40 years ago working for a 

subcontracting firm in London that 

happened to be the first ever customer of the 

The 20-year-old control system looks surprisingly modern. 

Gareth Davies, owner of TAS Engineering, operating the used Citizen Cincom L20 slidinghead 

lathe on the shop floor in Burton-on-Trent. The machine was supplied with an Iemca 

bar feeder and a CoolBlaster high pressure coolant delivery system rated at 2,000 psi. 

Citizen sales agency at that time. The lathes 

were equipped with servo-driven cams and 

while the technology has moved on 

enormously over the decades, the underlying 

principle of operation is still similar. 

It was apparent that the steel magnet 

holder could be produced more quickly on a 

modern Citizen L20 twin-spindle, slidinghead 

turning centre than on a fixed-head 

lathe due to the faster axis motions of the 

gang tool carriers on the former compared 

with the turret movements on the latter. 

However, Mr Davies was surprised to find 

that the part could be machined more than 

three times faster on the Cincom, the cycle 

now taking just 48 seconds. 

The sliding-head turning centre was 

installed and commissioned in October 2023, 

so it is still early days. Nevertheless, four 

additional jobs had been won by the end of 

the following January as a result of having 

the capacity available on the shop floor. 

None of this new work has anything to do 

with the fabrication side of the TAS 

Engineering's business. One contract 

involved the production of 1,000-off brass 

parts for a customer in industrial gases, 

which ran 24/7 for one week, despite Mr 

Davies being new to sliding-head lathe 

operation. 

The other jobs were 70-off engine parts 

produced from steel bar in one hit rather than 

in two operations on a fixed-head lathe plus 

another on a mill; 3,000-off heritage railway 

carriage brass fixing pins; and another 

component for the industrial gases sector 

machined from 0.75-inch diameter CZ121. 


CASE STUDY

opposing the sliding-headstock unit.

Mr Davies commented, "Although all the 

parts are relatively simple, some tolerances 

are tight. The bore on one of the components 

for industrial gases has to be held to 0.05 mm 

total and the engine shaft OD must be within 

0.04 mm. 

"Despite the Cincom being 20 years old, 

provided we run it at sensible feeds and 

speeds we achieve this level of accuracy 

easily. 

"Not only that, but we have confidence 

leaving the machine running unattended to 

get on with other tasks, as all dimensions 

repeat from part to part to within 15 

microns." 

He went on to mention that although 

the purchase price of the lathe was only 

about one quarter of the investment 

needed for a modern 20 mm capacity 

Cincom in the manufacturer's L-series, he 

was treated by all Citizen Machinery UK 

staff as though he were purchasing a new 

L20. "They went above and beyond what 

would normally be expected for the sale of 

a used machine and the delivery, 

commissioning and training were 

exemplary," he said. "I cannot sing their 

praises highly enough." 

TAS Engineering is currently undergoing 

a metamorphosis whereby, while 

fabrications will continue to play a part in the 

business, in the future it will only be if they 

undergo prismatic machining or contain 

turned parts. Already this policy has seen the 

contribution of chip removal, mostly metal 

and but also plastic, in the factory rise from 

10% to 90% of turnover. It is a progression 

that was accelerated by the Covid pandemic, 

when on-site visits to provide customers 

with fabrication services were forbidden. 

Another insight offered by Mr Davies is 

the formidable financial advantage of 

purchasing a good quality used machine 

tool, provided that one can be sourced, which 

is not always easy. His L20 had only 40,000 

hours on the clock when it arrived, 

equivalent to having run for a single shift 

every weekday. It is notable that, for the jobs 

completed so far, repayments on finance for 

a new Cincom would not have been viable. 

On the other hand, paying back only onequarter 

of the amount puts TAS Engineering 

in a strong position to quote for work very 

competitively, especially if it is not especially 

complex. Moreover, small quantities are also 

practicable, provided that the machine can be 

set up quickly. Mr Davies often uses Citizen's 

Alkart Wizard software running on his 

laptop to speed programming and 

downloads the code to the control. 

Applications engineers at Citizen 

Machinery UK are always on hand to assist 

when needed. A recent instance was when 

Mr Davies was worried about possible 

damage to the steel engine shaft as it was 

ejected from the sub spindle. Within an hour, 

a response was received advising him to omit 

an M-code at the end of the cycle and replace 

it with a specific line of alternative code that 

worked perfectly as soon as it was 

implemented. "Such after-sales engineering 

back-up is invaluable, especially if you are 

new to sliding-head turning," he concluded.

MOBILITY AID MANUFACTURER USES 

XYZ MACHINE TOOLS 

XYZ Machine Tools is helping Handicare to 

maintain the accuracy, rigidity and quality of 

its stairlifts by machining the mating surfaces 

of its tubular components using an XYZ RMX 

3500 for straight sections and an XYZ RMX 

4000 for curved sections to achieve a perfect 

fit. 

Handicare is a leader in its industry 

covering accessibility, patient handling and 

vehicle accessibility and can trace its roots 

back to 1886. Its objectives are to offer 

solutions and support to increase the 

independence of physically challenged or 

elderly people, and to enable them to live an 

active life on their terms as well as to 

facilitate work for their care providers and 

family. 

Handicare’s headquarters are located in 

Stockholm, Sweden and it sells its products 

and solutions globally and is active in more 

than 40 countries. Of the Group’s total 

revenue in 2020, Europe accounted for 71%, 

North America for 28 % and the rest of the 

world 1%. 

One of its UK manufacturing facilities is 

at Kingswinford, Birmingham where it 

designs and manufactures straight and 

curved stairlifts, producing more than 50 

every day. Each stairlift is bespoke, designed 

to fit its customers’ individual stair 

configuration. The key element of each 

stairlift is a pair of tubular runners with gear 

racks welded to them. These support the seat 

and, with its pinion drive and rollers, allow it 

to transport the customer smoothly and 

safely between floors. Each set is unique and 

carefully designed to fit the stairwell. 

During the design phase of each stairlift, 

consideration has to be given to handling the 

Set of stairlift tubes finished and ready for shipping 

Gary Steele operates the XYZ RMX 4000 

tube sections and accessibility for installation 

and assembly. This means that the set of 

tubes needs to be made in sections ready for 

assembly on site. Some shapes for curved 

stairlifts can be complex, for example moving 

the seat to a park position around a newel 

post, so these need particular care during 

manufacture. 

Nabil Mohamed, Production Engineer at 

Handicare explains, “For straight stairlift 

sections the tubes and gear rack are robot 

welded together and they are then cut to 

length. We leave an excess of 0.5 mm which 

is then machined off on the XYZ RMX 3500. 

We do this to make sure that the gear profile 

on the rack is perfect when we join the tubes. 

If we didn’t do this and left a slight mismatch 

on the gear profile, the customer would feel 

an uncomfortable jolt every time the seat 

went over a joint.” 

The XYZ RMX 3500 is dedicated to 

straight sections and has a set of fixtures on 

the bed each designed to lock into the gear 

profiles to position the tube in the exact 

position required to mill across the end and 

generate an accurate gear profile and perfect 

tube length. The open design of the bed mill 

makes it possible to work with long tube 

sections which overhang the bed. The 

machine’s ProtoTRAK® control has the 

different programs already prepared so that 

it is easy to select the one required for the 

fixtures being used. 

For curved profile stairlifts, the process is 

similar with tube sections being machined on 

the XYZ RMX 4000. This has a larger bed 

1474mm x 355mm and has fixtures loaded to 

suit the machining the ends of curved 

sections, again locating the tubes on the gear 

rack to ensure end machining is accurate. 

Further special purpose machinery cleans 

the burrs inside and outside the tubes, while 

etched marks on each component give 

reliable identification. To join tubes, straight 

sections can be connected with crimped 

inserts and cross drilled bolt holes, while 

curved sections are robot welded together 

with an internal collar. Special purpose 

machines clamp components together for 

these operations to ensure on site assembly 

goes smoothly before physical inspection 

and surface finishing. 

Nabil Mohamed says, “Every component 

goes through one of the XYZ RMX machines, 

so they are a crucial part of the process, and 

their record of reliability is very important to 

us. Being able to accurately machine the ends 

of every tube and gear rack is a vital part of 

the quality, performance and reliability of 

our products.”
