Precision machine building company MDC Max Daetwyler AG and specialist water jet company Waterjet AG, in collaboration with NUM, have developed an innovative CNC-based water jet cutting machine capable of cutting materials to within ±1 micron which is 20 times more accurate than competitive machines.
The vertical machining centres, from Ward CNC, being shown at MACH 2010 will be the Hyundai-Kia Hi-V50D CNC machining centre, the Hartford Blockbuster Pro-3210 double-column vertical CNC machining centre, the Hartford Tornado HCMC-13 heavy duty vertical CNC machining centre and the Hartford Power Centre Pro-1000 vertical CNC machining centre.
First quarter sales of Doosan milling machines outstripped Doosan lathe and turning centre sales, for the first time in Mills CNC's history. Mills continuing growth in the wider milling markets was also reflected in the sales figures, with three horizontal machining centres and a large horizontal boring machine sold in the same period.
Visitors to stand 5460, at MACH 2010, will see the XYZ 1020 VMC "naked", with all sheet metal removed and this machining centre fitted with a 5th axis direct drive, demonstrating the programmed movements required to machine a complex 5-axis component.
