We’re showcasing five of our latest ultra high-performance machine tools on our stand - many of which are making their UK debuts at the Show.
All the machines will be under power and will be put through their paces undertaking a range of challenging and innovative machining demonstrations.
The machines being exhibited comprise the following:
• AgieCharmilles CUT P 550: This advanced wire EDM machine takes accuracy, cutting speed and process reliability to a new dimension.
• AgieCharmilles LASER P 400: This innovative laser texturing machine opens up new business opportunities for component manufacturers and mould makers.
• AgieCharmilles FORM P 350 (integrated with System 3R WorkPartner 1+ automation system): This EDM die-sink machine with integrated automation is versatile, reliable and, above all, incredibly productive.
• Mikron MILL P 500U: This powerful, rigid and thermally-stable simultaneous 5-axis machining centre delivers unrivalled precision and surface finishes.
• Mikron HSM 200U LP: This compact, high-speed simultaneous 5-axis machining centre is fast and accurate, and the perfect solution for machining small, high-precision complex parts.
The five machines being exhibited on our Stand represent just a cross-section of the different technology solutions available from GF Machining Solutions.
In addition to our EDM (wire and die-sink), 3-and 5-axis milling, laser texturing and automation solutions - visitors to our Stand will also be able to find out more about our Additive Manufacturing (AM), Micro-Machining and dedicated (5-axis) turbine blade machining technologies.
The machine tools we’re exhibiting on our stand all have specific strengths that differentiate them from the competition. When you visit our stand make sure you ask us and find out more about these strong points.
The AgieCharmilles CUT P 550 is equipped with our latest technologies.
Ask us about:
• The new IPG generator and how it delivers increased cutting speeds.
• The machine’s onboard automation (i.e. Automatic Slug Management and Automatic Slug Retention) and how it improves machine uptime and reduces operational costs
The Mikron MILL P 500U is a high-performance 5-axis machine and the Mikron HSM 200U LP is a high- speed 5-axis machine.
Ask us about:
• The MILL P 500U’s rigid, thermo-stable design and its impact on accuracy, surface finishes and process reliability.
• The HSM 200U LP’s high-speed capabilities and capacity, and how its sophisticated thermo- stabilisation systems deliver best-in-class accuracies and surface finishes.
The innovative AgieCharmilles LASER P 400 is designed for high-precion texturing and engraving of small parts and mould inserts.
Ask us about:
• Laser Texturing and the new business opportunities this technology creates.
• Femtosecond laser technology and it’s ability to to create high-accuracy, repeatable and scalable textures directly onto parts, moulds, electrodes, cutting tools etc.
The AgieCharmilles FORM P 350 is a tried, tested and trusted EDM die-sink machine.
Ask us about:
• The machine’s ability to machine micro-cavities and ribs to exacting accuracies, repeatabilities and surface finishes.
• Our iGAP technology and how condition-led, adaptive spark generation improves performance and process reliability.
A WorkPartner 1+ automation system and a range of tooling solutions (both from System 3R) are being showcased on our Stand.
Ask us about:
• The productivity potential from investing in automated solutions and the expected payback on such investments.
• The advantages of integrating System 3R automation and tooling systems into your production facility.
GF Machining Solutions’ Customer Services provide all the support you need to keep your machines and machining processes running smoothly, efficiently and productively.
