Quickgrind has invested in the new tech centre to demonstrate the company’s commitment to UK customers as it pursues its strategy of increasing brand awareness and market presence in the UK.
The new tech centre has a seminar theatre and training room that can accommodate over 30 people. The Gloucestershire company has appointed a number of technical partners that include Open Mind Technologies and CG Tech, two leading specialists in 5-axis CAM machining strategies, QuickVend vending and tool management solutions, and Romi Machine Tools.
As well as having the capacity for over 30 attendees for training courses and seminars, the new facility also offers two meeting rooms and workstations for programming CAM strategies and toolpaths. On the shopfloor, a new Romi D1000 vertical machining centre has been installed for conducting customer trials and demonstrations. By working with leading CAM vendors and machine tools, Quickgrind now has the in-house facility to demonstrate how to push tooling performance to another level.
The Romi D1000 incorporates a 10,000rpm BT40 spindle configuration that is driven by a 22.4kW spindle motor and a Fanuc CNC control unit. The Romi has a 1,220 by 560mm table that can accommodate loads up to 1,000kg which gives Quickgrind and its technical partners the opportunity to demonstrate how cutting tools, CAM software and machine tools can collaborate to enhance machining performance for manufacturers.
Located near Birmingham, Quickgrind is on the direct route to the South West and Wales, situated two minutes away from both the M5 and M50. With an easily accessible location, customers of both Quickgrind and its technical partners are invited to put the cumulative expertise to the test to help manufacturers in their drive for production and cost benefits.
