1 min read

A leading advanced machining solutions provider is set to stage an ‘Irish’ first when it hosts its Smart Factory Machining Event next week.

Engineering Technology Group (ETG) will throw open its doors at its Co. Kildare showroom from 6-8 March to provide up to 140 delegates with an insight into the latest CNC machine technology, turnkey solutions, automation and shopfloor data systems.

Working in partnership with cutting tools partner Guhring, there will be a host of live demonstrations on a Hardinge V710S (3-Axis mill with Siemens 828D control), Quaser MF400UH (5-Axis, with Heidenhain control) and a Nakamura WY150 (twin turret, twin spindle lathe with Y axis on both turrets).

Visitors to the Smart Factory showcase will also see a Hyfore Workholding and Tooling display and the HALTER U20 LoadAssistant in action, unloading and loading billets to a simulated lathe with 3-jaw chuck.

Explains ETG Ireland general manager Jamie Fletchmoore: “There is no getting away from the fact that Smart Factories are coming and we want all our existing and potential customers to understand what this means and how they can tap into them to secure improved product cycles, more capacity and better shopfloor utilisation.

“We have brought together the strengths of the world’s most advanced CNC manufacturers under one roof, featuring Nakamura, Quaser and Hardinge, whilst also introducing some of the latest software from the likes of Cimco, Camplete, Heidenhain and Mastercam.”

He continues: “And then we have the main attraction…Ireland’s first ever demonstration of the HALTER LoadAssistant that can be used on all CNC lathes and mills, automating numerous process and helping the move to ‘lights-out manufacturing’.”

The Smart Factory Event will be headed up by seven ETG experts and there will also be a host of special show deals to take advantage of during the three days.
