OGP UK, Zoller UK and Vicivision UK — all part of Derbyshire-based Carfulan Group — will exhibit their machines and perform live demonstrations at the two-day Seco Tools ‘Inspiration through Innovation’ event next week.

Held at Seco’s ‘state of the art’ Technology Centre in Warwickshire, the free-to-attend exhibition, which attracted more than 700 visitors in 2017, is focused on providing evidence of manufacturing best practice by bringing together some of the most forward-thinking professionals in the UK.

OGP UK’s advanced optical and multi-sensor SmartScope systems can gauge the characteristics of even the most complex parts quickly and without human error, leading to better quality, reduced scrap and allowing products to be brought into the marketplace faster.

This year, the company will be displaying its flagship Vantage 300 — a machine renowned for making reliable data collection available in real time, giving manufacturers a competitive edge.

Zoller UK — a specialist in intuitive tool pre-setting, inspection and management solutions — helps businesses to ensure that tools are of the right quality to create accurate and conforming parts, prior to machining.

This not only reduces down time but also increases tool life, saves on tool costs and “eliminates scrap”.

Vicivision UK technicians will be displaying the M306, a ‘best-in-class’ optical turned-part measurement machine (from the Techno range) that enables immediate data capture next to multiple machining centres in the heart of the production environment, helping to eliminate bottlenecks and enhance productivity.

Seco’s ‘Inspiration through Innovation’ event takes place on 9 and 10 October. Anyone wishing to attend can register for free via the Web site (www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/inspiration-through-innovation-2018-tickets-46110916994).
