Ward CNC wins best dealer award at EMO

After being presented with the award, Simon Whitworth, managing director of Ward CNC, said that for Ward CNC to be recognised with such a Europe-wide award truly reflects the ongoing success of the company’s sales and support of these machines from both its Sheffield and Redditch sites.

It was the construction principles and technology features of the Hyundai Wia XF 2000 5-axis vertical machining centre that especially appealed to the EMO new product award judges.

Ward CNC is the exclusive UK and Ireland distributor for a host of companies that exhibited at EMO, with Hartford, Soraluce, Takisawa Japan and Takisawa Taiwan, plus Pinacho and Buffalo Machinery all announcing a raft of new products.

All of its exhibiting principals enjoyed a successful show, with Hyundai Wia also collecting the accolade of Best New Milling Machine at EMO from MaschinenMarkt magazine.

The new XF Series will initially be available from Ward CNC in two versions: the 40,000rpm XF2000 with 300mm by 300mm by 200mm in X-, Y- and Z-axes, rapid traverse rate of 50m/minute and 200mm diameter table able to accommodate 15kg loads; and the 15,000-40,000rpm XF6300 with X-, Y- and Z-axes of 650mm by 600mm by 500, a rapid traverse rate of 60m/minute and a 630mm diameter table able to accommodate loads of 600kg.
