The Engineering Technology Group (ETG) has joined forces with CAMplete to supply its software across the UK and Ireland.

The Wellesbourne-based company has signed the deal to help its customers avoid costly collisions and interferences, while also optimising processes to ensure the best-possible machine cycle time.

These solutions are available on all new machine sales, including those from Nakamura-Tome, Chiron, Hardinge Bridgeport, Quaser and Bavius.

Jamie Fletchmoore, director and general manager of ETG Ireland, said: “This is another example of us moving away from
simply supplying a machine; it is now all about providing the turn-key package that can help to save customers money, improve cycle times and unlock production bottlenecks.

"Our partnership with CAMplete provides another dimension to our all-round service. After generating tool-paths and checking the full kinematics of the machine, users can then run their code through the software for post-processing, simulation and optimisation.

"The ability to avoid costly collisions can save thousands of pounds in replacement parts and machine down-time.”
