XYZ Machine Tools sees sales and enquries boosted at MACH 2012
1 min read
XYZ Machine Tools almost doubled the value of orders taken previously at a MACH exhibition and saw a 25%-plus increase in the number of serious enquiries to follow up.
"We sold more than £400,000-worth of machines at the show," said Nigel Atherton, managing director, "and with more than 500 quotes sent out in response to quality enquiries, we are confident of many more orders in the coming weeks and months."
The strong performance at MACH 2012 follows on from last year's record-breaking sales achievement and the introduction of XYZ's ProtoTRAK LPM (Lean Production Machine) machining system. This is the first ProtoTRAK-equipped machine tool to be fitted with an automatic tool changer, and visitors to the stand were shown several innovative features designed to speed setting-up and to provide a competitive advantage in prototype and low volume production.
An added attraction for an existing user of a ProtoTRAK-equipped CNC/manual machine is that once the ProtoTRAK LPM is set up and running in CNC mode, an operator can revert back to working on a manual tool change mill. The net result is an instant productivity boost, while avoiding the need to recruit additional skilled staff.
For anyone that missed the opportunity to see this and other machines in action at MACH, XYZ is offering is demonstrations at any of its five regional showrooms – Burlescombe, Devon; Nuneaton; Blackburn; Sheffield; and Waltham Abbey.
