MACH 2008 is the first public demonstration of the powerful business strategy launched by 600 Group at the end of 2006.
The first of a totally new generation of a ‘global’ lathe range is to be launched at MACH 2008 at the NEC in Birmingham by Colchester-Harrison on 600 Centre's showcase stands 5128, 5130 and 5136 in Hall 5.
The machining of multi-featured shaft type or chucking style components requiring fully automated cycles can now be produced using Fuji Machine’s highly productive robotised cell.
Among the leading edge developments incorporated into the latest Fanuc Alpha T21-iF vertical machining centre (VMC) is a massive 32 per cent increase in torque to 70 Nm for the new 10,000 revs/min spindle.
The top seling Fanuc D series will be represented at the MACH show in April, with 600 Centre showcasing the new Alpha OiD model with it's increase in capacity, making it the largest working volume wire EDM machine in its class.
Hi-Spec Precision has recently installed a Colchester-Harrison Tornado T8MSY to capitalise on a rising order book for precision turned parts.
The most powerful and largest capacity, in the six machine Z-Series of CKE combination lathes from Dalian will set a new standard for affordability and performance at MACH 2008.
Out of six models in the Dalian VDL Series of vertical machining centres (VMC), the VDL 1000 will be shown on the 600 Centre stand at MACH to demonstrate the new benchmark for high specification and machining capability available at an affordable price.
A totally new ‘first’ from Colchester-Harrison is the availability of simultaneous five-axis, high precision vertical machining centre cycles achieved via the latest, high specification Heidenhain or Fanuc control.
600 Group reports that its Germany-based company, Parat Werkzeugmaschinen GMBH, has achieved a 40% increase in turnover during the last twelve months as compared with the previous year.
