3D laser sensor for measuring high performance tooling
XYZ Machine Tools was understandably happy when in the first six months of its just ended financial year sales totalled £12 million. This figure was seen as encouraging and extremely pleasing. However, better was still to come with the last six-months of the year far outstripping that performance, adding a record breaking £21 million to the turnover, giving a total of £33 million. The challenge now is to maintain this growth and the opening of two brand new showrooms in 2022 will play a role in achieving that! www.xyzmachinetools.com Expansion of sales territories Due to unprecedented growth in sales of Cincom sliding-head and Miyano fixed-head turning centres Citizen Machinery has decided to increase the number of its area sales managers from five to six in order to maintain the high level of customer support for which the supplier is renowned. Consequently, two promotions have been made within the existing business. Simon Fitzpatrick will serve Ireland, Scotland and territories in the north of England, while James Taylor will look after the south-west. Both have excellent technical expertise and product knowledge gained in applications. At the same time, Tony Nolloth has been appointed UK & Ireland Sales Manager to coordinate full-time Record breaking six-months

Walter Ewag UK has announced a step change in the fully automatic measurement and digitisation of tools with the launch of the Walter 3D laser sensor that enables the Walter Helicheck Pro and Plus tool measurement machines to scan with four times the resolution than previously possible and to process that data four times faster.Ideal for inspecting high-performance
tools as used in industries including automotive, aerospace and medical where cutting edge geometry, pitch and spiral pitch vary widely, the 3D sensor could replace two separate machines traditionally used for measuring such tools - perhaps a combination of conventional and laser checking. www.walter-machines.com/en
