Possibly the fastest M-C yet made its debut at EMO
To satisfy users' demands for faster chipping, a German machine tool builder unveiled at EMO what may be the fastest machining centre yet, with axes accelerations to 5G and axes speeds to 120m/min.
It is possibly the fastest machining centre ever seen in the UK.
The workshops run from 22nd to 24th October and include both the user's perspective on what can be achieved today and a rare chance to hear from one of Europe's leading machine tool designers, Dr Carl Deufel, on what we can look forward to in the future.
The workshop sessions are designed to be short and to the point, lasting around two hours and providing ample time for questions and answers.
They are supported by individual demonstrations of both the Vision machine and Chiron's current range of five-axis machining centres.
All the machines will be available for demonstrations from 21st to 25th October.
The workshops and open house will take place at Chiron UK's headquarters at Southam, Warwickshire.
For an invitation to the workshops and open house call Chiron UK on 01926 818 418.
