More than 30 machining centres — mainly five-axis models and some with various types of automation — will be on show at an Open House to be held from 8 to 11 May at the Gosheim headquarters and factory of the German machine tool builder Hermle AG (www.hermle.de).

Manufacturers in the UK and Ireland interested in attending should contact Gosport-based Kingsbury by e-mailing Lynne Packer ().

Those in Gulf Cooperation Council countries should e-mail Neil Harrington, regional director of Kingsbury’s Dubai subsidiary ().

All of Hermle’s machines will be on show, including the Performance Line range, which has recently been expanded to include mill-turn variants and the new C 650 model.

Guided tours of the production and assembly areas will give visitors an insight into Hermle’s manufacturing processes.

Other highlights will include Hermle’s proprietary MPA additive-manufacturing system, work-holding technology and software innovations.

A special area will be set aside for partner companies to exhibit their latest developments in associated areas such as tooling, inspection, CAD/CAM and control technology.
