Master Abrasives has sold and installed its first Micromatic grinding machine in the UK – the ECO-200 high accuracy universal grinder – at Coventry-based Earlsdon Technology Ltd.

Says Earlsdon toolroom supervisor Brian Little: “This machine was purchased on the basis that it will in the long term provide cost savings in producing customised tooling for customers’ specific bespoke requirements and will reduce the risk of causing delays in machine manufacture and approval.

“Currently we send this work out to subcontract and cannot rely on a speedy reaction time or the geometrical accuracy required. The ECO-200 will provide an in-house service which can be easily controlled to suit the demands and timeframe of our own machine production and meets the accuracies required.”

Since being made the sole UK distributor for Micromatic Grinding Technologies, Master Abrasives’ has been visited by numerous UK engineering companies to its showroom based in Daventry to see a demonstration of the ECO-200 grinding machine.

Adds Master Abrasives applications engineer Martin Stevens: “We encourage those who are interested to get in touch and arrange a visit to our grinding and finishing showroom.

“We can show you Micromatic grinding machines’ capabilities in action as well as other items we offer including our demonstration tape finisher, measuring equipment and abrasives.”
