New, large capacity machine tools from Sahos (Czech Republic) and Zayer (Spain) will be launched at MACH 2016 by Asquith Butler.
It will also present CNC, high-speed machining and sawing centres from Mubea (Belgium). The firm was appointed sole sales and service agent in the UK and Ireland for all three machine manufacturers shortly before its appearance at the last MACH show in 2014.
The company will also promote its own range of large capacity, travelling-gantry vertical machining centres, which are built at its factory in Brighouse, West Yorkshire, as well as its comprehensive spares, service and machine refurbishment activities.
Managing director Paul Hinchliffe commented, “We have had a lot of success selling Sahos machines over the past couple of years. Eleven machines have been sold to manufacturers specialising in pattern and mould making and F1 modelling, as well as those in the aerospace and automotive supply chains, for machining anything from model board, plastics and resin to carbon composites and aluminium alloys.”
“The Zayer range of machines is also proving popular in the UK. A moving-column machining centre with a 10 metre X-axis has been installed at a leading stainless steel sheet and plate fabricator in the north of England and another machine is due to be delivered this year to a Midlands-based automotive manufacturer.”
He went on to say that the company is pleased to be receiving enquiries for its own range of bespoke, 3-axis to 6-axis CNC machining centres, such as the Starcut and the mill-turn version, Starturn. One active enquiry involving a joint venture project with Mubea is from a Chinese manufacturer for machining titanium. Asquith Butler also produces large capacity turning and positioning tables, which are sold for retrofit to its own machines and those of any make.
