Grob and Edgecam partner to launch second gen machining centre

Machine tool specialist Grob has partnered with Edgecam CAD/CAM software to launch the second generation of its G350 horizontal 5-axis machining centre.

The machine, which is being launched at a two-day open house, has a smaller footprint, faster chip to chip times, and increased tool storage capacity, the firm says.

Delegates will see the second generation G350 carrying out machining demonstrations, programmed with Edgecam, to produce an aerospace structure from a solid aluminium billet.

Says GROB Machine Tools UK Ltd managing director Louis Hill: “It’s essential for GROB to have a CAD/CAM partner, and Edgecam provides the latest machining strategies required for the demanding products and work pieces which are becoming increasingly widespread.”

The open house is being be held at CIS, on the High Wycombe Business Park, High Wycombe, on 10 and 11 May.
