Quickgrind opens technical centre

After years of meticulous planning and construction work, cutting tool manufacturer Quickgrind will open its ‘Technical Centre of Infinite Possibilities’ at its Tewkesbury headquarters this summer. This centre for advanced machining strategies will provide an environment to undertake customer training, demonstrations, technical seminars, events and much more.

The technical centre will incorporate a 3-axis and a 5-axis machining centre that will be installed prior to the grand opening. In addition, the centre will be a hub for innovation partners such as Open Mind, CG Tech, Tebis, Schunk, Romi Machine Tools, Blaser, Biltz, Romheld and Quickvend.

Located within the company’s cutting tool manufacturing plant, the facility will incorporate a shop-floor demonstration area, a seminar theatre that can accommodate over 30 people, and individual meeting rooms and workstations for CAM strategies and programming. The centre will allow end users to bring along their challenging components and part programs for company experts to propose solutions. With bespoke tooling solutions manufactured on-site, Quickgrind will not only propose optimised solutions, but develop suitable cutting tools to perform the machining.
