MACH Machine Tools announces that its technology line-up for MACH 2024 will comprise eight best-selling DynaPath CNC controlled machines, including two models from its recently-introduced MACH MDV-series of vertical machining centres, as well as a number of its popular and proven manual machines and a range of its machine shop equipment.

MACH Machine Tools, part of the Vigilance Group and a leading supplier of CNC and manual machine tools and machine shop equipment to UK and Irish component manufacturers, has announced that it will be showcasing eight DynaPath-controlled machines on its stand (HALL 20 – Stand 402) at MACH 2024.

The machine line-up, which includes the company’s recently-launched MACH MDV 855 and MACH MDV 1160 vertical machining centres, not only demonstrates the depth and breadth of MACH Machine Tools’ constantly evolving and improving product portfolio, but also the importance of this year’s MACH Exhibition to the company’s marketing objectives and future growth ambitions.

Says Dave Andrew, managing director of the Vigilance Group:

“We’ve booked our largest ever MACH stand to showcase a wide cross-section of the different technologies we now provide to customers.

“As well as our (two) new MDV production-oriented vertical machining centres, we’re also exhibiting an impressive selection of our toolroom mills and lathes and, if space allows, we’ll also be taking a MACH MDHS 65 high-speed machining centre too.”

Over the last 11 years MACH Machine Tools’ growth has been exponential.

From initially supplying customers with its (now iconic) manual VS-1 turret-type milling machines when the company was first incorporated back in 2013, MACH Machine Tools can now provide component and mould tool manufacturers with a comprehensive range of CNC milling machines and lathes, all equipped with the advanced and innovative DynaPath control system, as well as impressive range of manual lathes, mills, grinders, drills and bandsaws etc.

Continues Dave Andrew:

“MACH 2024 provides a great shop window for us to showcase our technologies to visitors.

“Many of the machines being exhibited on our stand will be under power performing a range of innovative machining demonstrations designed to show-off their capabilities (i.e., processing speeds, accuracies etc.).

“The stand also includes a ‘Genius-type Bar’ facility which, using advanced CNC simulators, will enable visitors to test-out the DynaPath control system for themselves.”
