Aside from its sustained commitment to product quality, another factor that makes Mach Machine Tools so popular is its user-friendly design and after-sales services.
The MM710MM + has a fixed design and fabrication, in addition to the Meehanite structure and large, grooved column design, also equipped with linear roller guides on all three axes. All of the above motion joints can be easily controlled through the built-in 3D control panel.
In addition, the machine may be offered with a number of different control options – Fanuc 0i-MF; Control Siemens 828D with programming software ShopMill; or control Heidenhain 620.
Talking about Mach’s services, Daniel Wheatley, a lecturer at Nottingham Central University, said: “Some companies only respond with one price list for the device we are looking for – but with MACH Machine Tools it is. is another story. They invited us to visit them on their booth at MACH 2016 to see the types of equipment they have available, etc, and the better thing is they came to visit us for a more detailed discussion on the our bridge.”
“The autonomy of MACH Machine Tools is really impressive. In fact, the fact that they supplied machines of good quality and at competitive prices with prompt delivery, installation and commissioning – made our decision simple.”
The machines installed at Central College include the eight Turret Type Milling machines MACH VS-1, the most common Manual Machine of MACH Machine Tools. MACH VS-1 has a large capacity worktable (1219mm x 299mm), chrome-plated slide tracks with hard table top and T-slot for extended service life, variable speed spindle (up to 4200 cycles/min) for increased machining flexibility and a Newall 2-axis DRO, as well as a stand-up base water drip tray and high-performance cooling unit – all supplied as standard.
These eight machines were installed in August 2016 (ready for the start of the New School Year) and are being used by students to fabricate components from a variety of materials (Mild Steel, Aluminum, Brass, etc) and to learn basic milling skills ie face milling, drilling, grooving, threading, etc.
Daniel Wheatley concluded: “We are very happy with the MACH machine we bought. We plan to name the upcoming milling site ‘The MACH Workshop’, and are working towards bringing the new facility into schools, manufacturing companies and local and central government representatives at a special VIP event later this year.”
