Events to highlight unique XYZ 2op portable VMC; act now to secure a place

First revealed at the MACH 2014 exhibition in April, this portable VMC aims to bring cellular manufacturing within the reach of every machine shop. The compact design of a XYZ 2op, with a footprint of just 1,219 mm by 762 mm, and weighing just 1,000 kg, means it can be located virtually anywhere in a factory. Indeed, each machine is supplied with its own pallet truck to easily move it where required. This, in combination with the machine's specification, makes it ideal for pre- and second-op work, whether drilling, milling or tapping. Having the ability to locate a machine where you need it, when you need it, freeing up spindle time on more expensive machines, while making full use of the available skills and manpower, is, suggests XYZ, a major advantage in the competitive world of subcontract machining and will free up valuable time on other machines and maximise spindle runtime. The dates for these events are: 18 and 19 August at Burlescombe, Devon, and 3 and 4 September at Nuneaton, with two 90 minute presentations taking place each day at 11:00 and 13:30, with lunch provided for all attendees. Unlike a conventional XYZ Open House, these events will be limited in numbers as the intention is to underline the unique benefits of the XYZ 2op machine to small groups. With space allocated for just 100 companies to send people across the eight time slots, those interested are encouraged to book now. Telephone 01823 674200 or e-mail sales@xyzmachinetools.com, specifying the date and time you would like to attend.
