Celebrating the launch of its new V-Series of small end mills from Union Tool, micro machining experts
Rainford Precision Machines Ltd gave away 300 end mills to visitors at
MACH 2022 which drew the attention of visitors and helped the company achieve a record level of show enquiries.
On display were a wide range of products, from the micro end mills and the new Union Tool V-Series through to the new SwissCeraMill end mills and the 6C Tools AG which made their show debut.
The 6C Tools AG are manufactured by laser ablation which results in a five to 10-times tool life increase. The range encompasses everything from drilling, milling and threading tools, through to tailored tools that are manufactured from PCD and PCBN.
Rainford also debuted the BSQ Tech GmbH range of SwissCeraMill end mills which are manufactured from ceramic zirconium oxide with a micro-grain structure of 0.3µm. This composition can increase tool life from five to 30-times and improve productivity by 400% compared to conventional carbide cutting tools.
Miles Evans, Rainford Precision managing director, said: “The requirement for micro-precision solutions is growing rapidly with segments like electronics, medical, aerospace and research leading the way. With our diverse machine solutions and micro cutting tools, nobody is better placed to serve this niche than Rainford Precision and this was evident at
MACH.
“We are UK partners for Kern high-precision machining centres, Lasea laser cutting, engraving, drilling and texturing machines and the Finepart high-accuracy micro waterjet technologies.”
He added: “There were a lot of OEM manufacturers at the show that showed some serious interest and this is likely to lead to some great opportunities for us. It was also great to see so many new young engineers come to the stand with so much interest and enthusiasm in our technology. This enthusiasm and intent to find new solutions has been somewhat subdued in the past.”
Also showcased on the stand were technologies from leading brands including Louis Bélet, HOBE, DTS, Delmeco, Gloor, Osawa, Iwata and ATOM.
