The Permanent Trade Show (PTS) will be a year-round event, with machines regularly being added for demonstration purposes from ETG's portfolio of leading brand names – Chiron, Nakamura-Tome, Hardinge Bridgeport, Quaser, Handtmann and Stama.
The opening event takes place across three days in June -10, 11 and 12 – when 12 fully operational machine tools will be featured alongside over two dozen ETG partner suppliers.
Partner suppliers will have a presence in the main exhibition hall, with their equipment either integral to machine demonstrations or on the group of trade stands that will be supporting the event. Representatives will be present to discuss products ranging from toolholding, workholding, software, cutting tools and inserts, fixturing, lubricants and workpiece materials.
Machine tools on view for the first time in the UK include the latest Nakamura-Tome AS200-LMSY turning centre and the Nakamura-Tome NTRX-300 turning machine with its 7-axis capability. These latest models represent a significant specification 'step-up', both of them offering multi-tasking, one-hit, high volume, complex parts machining capability.
A third Nakamura machine to be featured is the NTY3, a triple-turret high performance machine with opposed twin spindles.
Also featured for the first time will be a Hardinge Bridgeport Conquest V1000 VMC that combines a very high specification with the versatility to make it an invaluable 'all-rounder' in machine shops, the company says.
In addition, a Chiron Baseline FZ15W Baseline 3-axis VMC will be featured, one of the family of Chiron machines that combines the performance benefits of high-end German machine tools within a subcontractor budget.
Two Quaser's are being demonstrated - both top specification VMCs – the MV214P, offering high speed, high power machining, while the MF400U is a very well specified 5-axis simultaneous VMC.
In addition to the Conquest V1000, a further five Hardinge Bridgeport machines will be demonstrating their capabilities – the GS51 high precision horizontal turning centre; the H51 – the 'ultimate bar machine' with HP or SP options; a GT27 super precision gang-tool lathe; the GX480 Bridgeport performance VMC and drill/tap centre and an XR760 compact, high performance VMC.
