East Midlands Manufacturing Show

    Production Software

    Pathtrace Engineering Systems will launch the latest release of its EdgeCAM software on stand E5, and will demonstrate the latest features and functionality included in EdgeCAM version 9. This release sees the introduction of EdgeCAM Solid Machinist for CATIA V5, allowing users to load part and assembly files from CATIA V5 into EdgeCAM. Also enhanced with this release of the software is EdgeCAM Strategy Manager, which allows lead time reducing machining strategies to be saved as simple flow chart templates for machining similar components. 

    Electronic Controls

    FAW Electronics Ltd, Derbyshire, award-winning designers and manufacturers of customised electronic control solutions, is launching two new innovative products: t-mac (an internet enabled remote monitor and control device for facilities management); and the RGB Control System (for LED lighting control/effects). FAW's innovative designs are used by a variety of multinational companies spanning industry sectors from automation to quarry management, brewing to fume extraction and the shipping industry within UK, Europe and America. The company has recently purchased new surface mount production equipment to increase production capacity and cut leadtime by up to a quarter. 

    Subcontract Machining

    Molyneux Engineering Ltd, Darley Dale, Derbyshire has a high speed laser cutting machine with automatic loading/unloading with which it competes with punch pressing in thin sheet metals but with no tooling costs, and smaller batch sizes. In addition to the laser facility the company offers pressbrake bending up to 3m long. 

    Cryogenic Treatment

    Cryogenic Treatment Services will be promoting a range of services that change the molecular properties of a material and produce some desirable benefits. The range includes:

    Berger Tools are celebrating becoming a distributor of the ClewsTipco range of spiral ground high speed steel press tool punches, high grade steel dies; and the highest quality range of PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) and PCBN (Polycrystalline Cubic Boron Nitride) tools. PCD tools guarantee a considerably longer life between regrinds than conventional cutting tool materials and have many operating advantages compared with single crystal diamond tools. On their stand, Berger Tools will also be displaying their new HR-series (compact lower height) nitrogen gas springs, and competitively priced mould products such as mould ejector pins, pillars and bushes.

    Event Raises Profile of East Midland's Industry

    The positive image of manufacturing industry in the East Midlands was reinforced last year by the outstanding success of the first ever exhibition dedicated to promoting the region's industrial capability. The second East Midlands Manufacturing 2004 Exhibition takes place at Donington Park, Derby, 22-23 September, and promises to be the leading component sourcing, subcontracting and manufacturing technology exhibition for East Midlands' buyers and suppliers.
