Surrounded by competitors at MACH, it was clear that new product innovations, along with, customer-oriented sales and engineering staff, were the key to
Guhring's success.
With a stand witnessing a record number of leads, the technology on show is underpinned by the UK’s leading cutting tool manufacturing facility – and this combination proved a resounding success for the cutting tool company.
The Birmingham manufacturer showcased a wide selection of new and established cutting tool solutions, with a clear focus on practical improvements in CNC productivity, reliability, and day-to-day machining efficiency.
Amid continually rising carbide costs, Guhring presented technology designed to help CNC users machine faster, reduce downtime, and achieve more consistent results, shift after shift.
From a product perspective, Guhring used the show to launch its new RF 100 AL solid carbide end mills. The RF 100 AL significantly shortens cycle times and provides material removal rates up to 76% higher than conventional end mills, improving productivity and offsetting rising tooling costs.
Guhring also introduced the GHM high-feed milling system at MACH. Available in diameters ranging from 16 to 80mm, the GHM range is designed to remove metal quickly while keeping cutting forces low. The GHM milling cutters were complemented by the new GMD indexable U-drill range. The GMD drills provide reliable centring and hole precision, even at higher feed rates, along with long tool life supported by sturdy, nickel-plated bodies and HiPIMS-coated inserts.
As world-leading experts in holemaking and threading, Guhring also presented the latest generation SCZ SP full-profile thread mills, the Pionex series of threadmills, the RT 100 U Step drilling line, the new three-fluted FT 200 U solid carbide drill, tool management systems and more.
Guhring UK sales manager Chris Bush said: “MACH has once again delivered a fantastic pipeline of enquiries for Guhring. Our leads have exceeded all previous shows. In comparison to previous shows, the standout points for us are more visitors with genuine buying intentions and challenges they want technical support with resolving.”
“A lot of conversations revolved around carbide prices that no manufacturer can avoid. However, with a UK manufacturing facility that incorporates a phenomenal R&D team, a tool regrinding service, and supply chain continuity with over £5 million of stock availability, our service is a key differentiator.
“Equally important is the innovation behind our products. At MACH, our Diamond-Like Coated (DLC) tools and coating technology that deliver staggering results were significant points of interest for manufacturers striving to prolong tool life and improve performance.”
