The new Advanced Manufacturing Show has got off to a flying
start, with some of the industry’s leading names already confirmed.
The event, which provides a showcase for the latest
developments in machine tools, tooling, production software and metrology, runs
at the NEC from 4 to 6 June 2013.
Some of the key exhibitors lined up so far include machine
tool manufacturers Yamazaki Mazak and XYZ, software experts Delcam and Seiki
Systems, tooling manufacturers Sumitomo Electric Hardmetal, ITC and WNT, and an
impressive roster of metrology companies, including Renishaw, Hexagon
Metrology, Faro and Nikon.
The Advanced Manufacturing Show runs alongside Subcon, the
UK event for contract and subcontract manufacturing, and together the two
exhibitions will allow visitors across all sectors to meet all their in-house
and outsourced manufacturing requirements.
Damien Cleugh, Head of Marketing, Mazak Europe, commented: “We are
always keen to demonstrate the latest in advanced metal cutting technology and
promote our machines to the widest possible audience. Our participation
at Advanced Manufacturing is recognition of the vital role that trade shows
still play in helping potential customers get close to our machines. Its location, within a short drive of our
European Manufacturing plant in Worcester, is ideal in ensuring that our
Midlands-based customers will be in attendance.”
Trevor Tolley, General Manager, Sumitomo Electric Hardmetal,
said: “The Advanced Manufacturing Show will provide Sumitomo Electric Hardmetal
with the ideal opportunity and platform to present their high performance
cutting tools for turning, milling, drilling, and boring applications. We will discuss
face-to-face with customers old and new the improvements in productivity, the
production solutions, inventory reduction and most important, cost savings that
can be made by adopting this latest tool technology.”
Tony Pennington, Managing Director of WNT (UK) said the
company will be using the event to highlight its latest tooling developments,
adding: “The fact that Advanced Manufacturing is co-located with Subcon is a
big attraction for WNT.
“The opportunity to exhibit at Advanced Manufacturing is a
prime opportunity for us to promote the new tooling developments that will help
customers improve productivity and reduce manufacturing costs.”
Visitors to WNT’s stand will get the opportunity to see the
latest cutting tool developments, including the HCN2125 range of turning
inserts for stainless steel.
Complementing the Advanced
Manufacturing and Subcon exhibitions is a three-day programme of free seminars
on practical aspects of manufacturing technology and subcontract sourcing.
Alongside these will be a new two-day
conference, organised by The Engineer, highlighting the latest ideas and
breaking technologies in manufacturing.
Speaking on behalf of the event
organisers, Centaur Exhibitions, Business Development and Portfolio Director
Grant Burgham said: “It is clear that the market has welcomed our fresh approach
to the manufacturing technology sector. With this group of events we will
attract senior engineering and
manufacturing buyers from all sectors of manufacturing. We are sure it will
prove to be a very successful event for both exhibitors and visitors.”
