SUPPLY SIDE ETG'S BIRTHDAY TECH SHOWCASE
Martin Doyle,
managing director,
ETG, seen here with a
Bavius TR80,
800 mm diameter
table, high precision
5-axis machine having
axis travels of 850,
850 and 700 mm
(X, Y, Z) and shown
with waste swarf
briquetting. The ‘solid’
swarf can be sold on
or recycled, boosting
profi tability
Mitsubishi Wire EDM MV1200
Provides “industry-beating production bene ts”. Tubular
direct drive converts energy directly into movement without
friction, resulting in high machine durability. Reduced power
consumption and automated wire threading around the clock
also feature for this 810 by 700 by 220 mm workpiece
capacity machine
Nakamura-Tome AS200LMSY
65/71 mm bar capacity turning centre
with sub-spindle, Y-axis and driven tools,
which was served by Robojob Turn-assist
automation
Nakamura-Tome MX100
A multi-tasking machine with ATC,
lower turret and 5-axis capabilities,
51/65 mm bar capacity and 305 by
780 mm turning envelope (diameter,
length). It boasts 96 tools and
occupies a minimal footprint, in spite
of its 17-tonne weight that offers
superior rigidity. Other benefi ts are:
21% less power consumption; no
lube oil necessary; 30-day autonomy;
compact design
