1 min read

Visitors to the trade days of the Farnborough International Airshow this year can take advantage of a VIP service being offered by carbide rotary cutting tool manufacturer Kyocera SGS.

Each morning on 12, 13 or 14 July, the Wokingham company is offering a secure parking space, a free ticket to the show worth £30, breakfast, a brief demonstration of its cutting tools and a transfer straight to the exhibition entrance, just 12 miles away.

Times are 9.30 am arrival at Kyocera SGS and 11.00 am departure for the show. Return transfer will be from main gate B at 4.30 pm each day.

The offer will be of interest mainly to manufacturers in the aerospace supply chain intending to visit tooling, engineering software and machine tool companies participating at this year’s show. They include Kyocera SGS themselves in hall 1, stand B140, Grob, CG Tech, Breton, Makino, Mandelli, MCM, Okuma, Starrag, and Geo Kingsbury, the UK agent for Burkhardt + Weber, F Zimmermann, Hermle, SHW and Waldrich Coburg.

Representatives from the UK subsidiary of German machining centre manufacturer, Grob, will be present at the breakfast meetings. The company’s G350 universal 5-axis machine in the Wokingham showroom will demonstrate the capabilities of the latest Kyocera SGS tooling. Attending also will be representatives from tool holding solution companies, Showa and MST, CADCAM software provider, Edgecam, Vericut software company, CG Tech and NC part program specialist, LMg Solutions.

A particular highlight will be the Z5 HPR range of high performance, solid carbide end mill roughers. Kyocera SGS has recently introduced a Tool4Life service whereby it offers to regrind and recoat tools of 10 mm diameter and larger free of charge, provided that they are not irreparably damaged. Alternatively, to ensure continuity of production at a customer’s factory, a replacement milling cutter can be exchanged for a worn tool within 24 hours.

Those interested in taking up the offer should telephone Heather Thurston on 01189 795200, email: eumarketing@sgstool.eu or register online at www.sgstool.eu before the end of June.
