The event will present its multi-axis machining centres and in particular OKK machines. Following a strategic technology alliance with French machine tool distributor Halbronn Group, 2D CNC has been appointed as UK agent of OKK’s 5-axis, vertical and horizontal machining centres. Over its 30 years of trading, Halbronn has installed over 5,000 machines throughout Europe. It has sales of €35 million with five showrooms in France and operations in Belgium and Poland.
Says director David Holden: “Along with other partner companies, we will be demonstrating many different aspects of 5-axis machining, from programming through tooling and workholding, and will include an example of reverse engineering. Meanwhile, machine demonstrations will feature two 5-axis OKK vertical and two horizontal machining centres plus a Fermat WFC10 under power. In addition, a Wele vertical machining centre and automation from the Halbronn Group will be installed.”
Other machines available from the 2D CNC Machinery portfolio include Mitsui Seiki cells and systems and Reiden 5-axis machines.
