MACH 2024: Popular and proven options on show

Mach Machine Tools’ technology line-up for MACH 2024 will comprise eight bestselling DynaPath CNC controlled machines, including two models from its recently introduced MDV-series of vertical machining centres, as well as a number of its popular and proven manual machines and a range of machine shop equipment.

Part of the Vigilance Group, Mach Machine Tools is a leading supplier of CNC and manual machine tools and machine shop equipment to UK and Irish component manufacturers.

The new Mach MDV 855 and Mach MDV 1160 vertical machining centres not only demonstrate the depth and breadth of the company’s constantly evolving and improving product portfolio, but also the importance of this year’s MACH exhibition to its marketing objectives and future growth ambitions.

Dave Andrew, managing director of the Vigilance Group comments: “We’ve booked our largest ever MACH stand to showcase a wide cross-section of the different technologies we now provide to customers. As well as our two new MDV production-orientated vertical machining centres, we’re also exhibiting an impressive selection of our toolroom mills and lathes and, if space allows, we’ll also be taking a Mach MDHS 65 high-speed machining centre.”

Over the last 11 years Mach Machine Tools’ growth has been exponential. From initially supplying customers with its manual VS-1 turret-type milling machines when the company was first incorporated back in 2013, Mach can now provide component and mould tool manufacturers with a comprehensive range of CNC milling machines and lathes, all equipped with the advanced and innovative DynaPath control system, as well as impressive range of manual lathes, mills, grinders, drills and bandsaws.

Mr Andrew continues: “MACH 2024 provides a great shop window for us to showcase our technologies to visitors. Many of the machines being exhibited on our stand will be under power performing a range of innovative machining demonstrations designed to show-off their capabilities. The stand will also include a Genius-type Bar facility which, using advanced CNC simulators, will enable visitors to test-out the DynaPath control for themselves.”

Two DynaPath CNC controlled machines being showcased at the exhibition are the new Mach MDV 855 and Mach MDV 1160 production-orientated vertical machining centres which will take pride of place on the stand.

The machines being exhibited are equipped with direct-drive 12,000rpm (BT40) spindles, 24-position swing-arm ATCs, large worktables (up to 1,200mm by 600mm on the Mach MDV 1160), and feature 36m/minute rapid rates on all axes. The Mach MDV 1160 will be showcased with a 4th-axis table for fast indexing.

When it comes to toolroom mills Mach will be showcasing three machines from its range – the MDS 845-8T and MDS 900-4T and the Mach MDM 700.

The compact MDS 845-8T (spider) toolroom mill is fast and flexible and features a 5.5kW/8,000rpm direct-drive BT40 spindle and a generous-sized worktable – 850mm by 420mm. The machine is also equipped with an integrated eight-position tool changer that increases its productivity and performance potential.

The Mach MDS 900-4T, in addition to its 3.75kW/5,000rpm spindle, has a large worktable (1,470mm x 320mm) with a 220kg maximum table load and a four-position ATC.

Completing the company’s toolroom mills on show is the Mach MDM 700 – a popular and proven machine with a 5,000rpm spindle and a 1,244mm x 228mm worktable.

Other CNC milling machines being exhibited include a Mach MDT-1 turret mill.

Also at the NEC will be the Mach MDL 1600 flatbed lathe. The 8” chuck MDL 1600 is a flexible and powerful machine with 1,050mm distance between centres, a 7.5kW/3,500rpm spindle, a manual tailstock and an automatic four-way tool post.

Manual options

In addition to eight DynaPath-controlled CNC machines being exhibited on its stand, Mach Machine Tools is also taking a range of its manual machines and toolroom equipment to the show.

These include the well-known Mach VS-1 turret-type milling machine, a Mach L 1340 and a Mach L 1550 manual lathe, as well as Mach-branded bandsaws, belt linishers, double-ended grinders and pedestal drills.

Mr Andrew concludes: “We’re pushing the boat out at MACH 2024 and our stand will demonstrate that we are ideally positioned, technologically and commercially, to meet customers’ CNC and manual machine tool and equipment needs and requirements.

“Our technologies help make manufacturers’ lives better – more productive, more efficient and more profitable. Visit our stand during the event and we’ll show you how.”
