Mills CNC Ltd (www.millscnc.co.uk) — the exclusive distributor of Doosan machine tools in the UK and Ireland — has confirmed that it will be attending Seco’s Inspiration through Innovation 2018, being held 9-10 October at Seco’s Technology Centre in Alcester.

Mills CNC will be one of over 40 technical partners attending the event, and it will provide one of the 17 machining demonstrations. The company will highlight the capabilities of the Doosan NHP 5000 high-performance horizontal machining centre.

Technical manager Tony Dale said: “Having talked to Seco about the focus and direction of this year’s event and its emphasis on machining excellence, we decided that Inspiration through Innovation 2018 would be a great venue to demonstrate the power, speed and flexibility of the new NHP 5000 machine.

"We are working with a number of technical partners — including those involved with CAD/CAM, work-holding, metal-working fluids, cutting tools and metrology equipment — to develop a machining demonstration that will capture the imagination of visitors.”

The demonstration will focus on the machining of a steering knuckle — a critical high-precision automotive component that connects the suspension and steering elements of a car.

Inspiration through Innovation 2018 is free to attend; further details can be found at the Web site (www.secotools.com/iti).
