MACH 2022: Live 5-axis demonstrations prove successful for Guhring

MACH 2022 was a success for cutting tool manufacturer Guhring, with its stand being busy from the start of the show to when visitors left on Friday afternoon.

Guhring demonstrated a complete range of products at MACH that included threading, turning, drilling and milling tools – many of which received their UK exhibition premiere at the show.

The other reason the stand drew the crowds was due to the exceptional performance of the tools that were demonstrated live on a Grob 5-axis machining centre.

Commenting on the exhibition, Guhring UK managing director, Chris Weston said: “Before MACH, expectations may have been somewhat subdued due to the unpredictable COVID situation, but that dissipated on day one with a very high number of enquiries – and this continued to surge throughout the week to give us our busiest MACH week ever.

“The enquiries we received were well balanced across our portfolio of products. We had technical engineers giving demonstrations of our vending solutions all week whilst the Grob G550 5-axis machine provided live demos of our deep hole drilling line and the new Sharp end mills to name a few. We have always alluded to the performance of our industry-leading lines that can achieve cutting parameters beyond alternate lines. This is especially true of our deep hole drilling range – but it wasn’t until engineers watched it on the Grob machine that they believed it.”

“It was the first time for Guhring to have a machining centre on the MACH stand to demonstrate products, and it worked extremely well. We had a crowd around the machine all week, paying close attention to the jaw-dropping performance of our tools.

Guhring UK has taken the 5-axis machine straight to its technical centre in Birmingham. The machine will cement its relationship with Grob and enable Guhring to provide comprehensive demonstrations of its product lines on an extremely capable 5-axis machining centre. It will also serve as a facility for Grob to invite its customers to undertake machining trials.

Guhring engineers were also busy at MACH discussing the scope of special tooling solutions that can be designed, developed, manufactured and trialled at the Guhring facility in Birmingham. The fact that products can be manufactured in the UK to customer specifications on short lead times was attractive to MACH visitors.
