Manufacturing Machinery World April 2024

MAKING THINGS DIFFERENT AND MAKING THINGS BETTER!
MACH Machine Tools announces that its
technology line-up for MACH 2024 will
comprise eight best-selling DynaPath CNC
controlled machines, including two models
from its recently-introduced MACH MDVseries
of vertical machining centres, as well
as a number of its popular and proven
manual machines and a range of its machine
shop equipment.
MACH Machine Tools, part of the
Vigilance Group and a leading supplier of
CNC and manual machine tools and machine
shop equipment to UK and Irish component
manufacturers, has announced that it will be
showcasing eight DynaPath-controlled
machines on its stand (HALL 20 – Stand
402) at MACH 2024.
The machine line-up, which includes the
company’s recently-launched MACH MDV
855 and MACH MDV 1160 vertical
machining centres, not only demonstrates the
depth and breadth of MACH Machine Tools’
constantly evolving and improving product
portfolio, but also the importance of this
year’s MACH Exhibition to the company’s
marketing objectives and future growth
ambitions.
Says Dave Andrew, managing director of
the Vigilance Group:
“We’ve booked our largest ever MACH
stand to showcase a wide cross-section of the
different technologies we now provide to
customers.
“As well as our (two) new MDV
production-oriented vertical machining
centres, we’re also exhibiting an impressive
selection of our toolroom mills and lathes
and, if space allows, we’ll also be taking a
MACH MDHS 65 high-speed machining
centre too.”
“We’re pushing the boat out at this year’s
MACH Show and our stand will
demonstrate that we are ideally positioned,
technologically and commercially, to meet
customers’ CNC and manual machine tool
and equipment needs and requirements.
“Our technologies help make manufacturers’
lives better – more productive,
more efficient and more profitable.
“Visit our stand (HALL 20 – Stand 402)
during the event and we’ll show you how.”

RAINFORD POINTS TO PRECISION Stand 409 in Hall 19
Rainford Precision will be emphasising
exactly why the company is widely regarded
as the experts in micro-machining at MACH
2024. On Stand 409 in Hall 19, Rainford
Precision will give the Kern Micro HD 5-axis
machining centre its UK exhibition premiere
alongside its extensive range of cutting tool
solutions and the impressive Finepart micro
abrasive waterjet machining solution.
Kern is renowned for its unparalleled
levels of precision and at MACH, the Micro
HD machine that comfortably achieves
precision and repeatability levels of +/-
1micron during 5-axis machining will be
showcasing its incredible speed, precision
and productivity. The Kern Micro HD will
certainly be one of the very few in the elite
echelon of brands demonstrating this level of
precision at MACH. Alongside the Kern
Micro HD at MACH will be a demonstration
model of a Finepart waterjet cutting machine.
Like Kern, Finepart is a brand that stands
head and shoulders above its rival waterjet
manufacturers in the ‘micro’ precision field.
With 3, 4 and 5-axis machines in the
portfolio, Finepart machines can achieve a
positional accuracy of +/-2.5microns with a
repeatability of +/-2microns with a typical
cutting tolerance of +/-10 microns. The
Finepart range is perfect for cutting the
smallest and most intricate of components
from virtually any material, making it ideal
for industries from the micro-manufacturing,
semi-conductor and electronics industries to
the dental, jewellery, aerospace and space
industries. The machines are available in a
complete range of sizes and specifications
with optional extras including everything
from precision measuring probes and alarm
notifications to CAD/CAM systems, highpressure
pumps, hybrid high-frequency
machining spindles, abrasive feed and
removal systems and much more.
Rainford Precision will also present its
latest cutting tool solutions from worldrenowned
brands such as Union Tool, Louis
Bélet, Delmeco, Gloor, HOBE, Osawa, DTS,
Iwata, 6C Tools, Swissceramill and ATOM.
The respective partners are industry leaders
in the manufacture of drills, end mills,
reamers, boring bars, threadmills, slitting
saws and more. Within this diverse portfolio
are tools for specialist applications and
material types, such as the Hufschmied
brand of milling tools. The Graftor range of
end mills from Hufschmied have been
developed specifically for machining
graphite and the range can double
productivity rates and tool life when
compared to rival tools. With such a diverse
platform of specialist cutting tools and micro
tool solutions, Rainford has recently invested
in a Keyence digital microscope to provide a
complete tool investigation and consultancy
service for customers in the UK and Ireland.
