EXHIBITION PREVIEW MACH 2020 – BIRMINGHAM NEC – 20-24 APRIL
Technology party
Next month, the MACH 2020 show will open its doors. In the second of our major previews, we have
more show news. Exhibitors are listed by alpha order (UK agents, where relevant, in brackets), with their
technology areas highlighted by various hashtags
#profi ling – AXYZ, Stand 6-630 Latest
small-format WARDJet waterjet cutting
machine will be demonstrated. Part of the
A-Series of machines, the A-0612 shares the
same industrial design features and
performance capabilities of the larger format
series of machines but in a more compact
size. It has been developed to accommodate
the requirements of engineering shops and
machining centres where workspace is at a
premium and the need for more costeffective
production equipment are major
considerations. And with a 60,000 psi
capability, it can match the performance of
much larger waterjet machines but at lower
cost. The A-0612 will be shown cutting a
wide range of materials, including stainless
steel and other non-ferrous metals, cast and
wrought iron, solid and composite rubber
formulations, foamed substrates, high
pressure laminates, ceramics, glass and
breglass. The machine is supported with
proprietary Move motion control software
and a comprehensive performance warranty.
#inspection #metrology – Bowers Group,
Stand 18-510 A variety of metrology
solutions and live demonstrations to

focus. Products from Baty, Trimos, Sylvac,
WardJET’s
compact A-0612
Gagemaker, Innovatest and Wyler will
feature. Bore gauges, micrometres and
indicators, olus sophisticated vision

#tool_pressetting – Carfulan, Stand 20-460
The Carfulan Group (OGP UK, SYS
Systems, VOCIVISION UK, Zoller UK) will be
exhibiting agship manufacturing technology
from across its four businesses – including
machines never before seen publicly in the
UK. Live demonstrations on world-leading
solutions in multi-sensor metrology, 3D
printing, of ine tool pre-setting and
inspection and turned-part measurement will
all be undertaken. Vantage, CNC and Zip
Lite portfolios will be present, as will be a
QC-CALC software booth. Chris Fulton,
managing director of the Carfulan Group,
says: “In terms of the sheer number of
machines on the stand, MACH 2020 will be
the biggest and most ambitious show in
Carfulan Group history. Our aim is to provide
irrefutable evidence to product designers
and manufacturers that, regardless of their
size, status or sector, our innovative and
complementary technologies will help them
to work more ef ciently and effectively, so
that they can deliver better outcomes for
their customers.” Visitors will get a rst
public glimpse of FlexPoint, the only coordinate
measurement machine featuring
multiple high-accuracy sensors in a
VersaFlex cluster head, for precision
inspection and data reporting on intricate
parts A second UK exclusive will be the
high performance multi-sensor metrology
system from OGP’s new SP range (the SP
Bowers’ stand
will have a
wide range
of metrology
solutions
