MACH 2024
NCMT invites you to celebrate 60 years
In 1964, NCMT Ltd was one of the first companies to sell CNC machine tools into the UK and Irish markets when it won the sole agency to sell and service Japanese-built Makino machining centres. Twelve years later, a second agency agreement was reached with Okuma, another Japanese machine tool manufacturer, to sell its machining centres, lathes and grinders into the same markets. In 2005, Makino-NCMT Grinding Division was established to develop and sell throughout Europe Makino machining platforms for creep- feed VIPER grinding of nickel alloys. Since 2015, NCMT has also been the Europe-wide agent for photo-activated adhesive workholding systems manufactured by Blue Photon in the US. Most recently, at the beginning of 2024 NCMT signed an exclusive distribution agreement in the UK and Ireland with Tritone Technologies, a global leader in additive manufacturing (AM) technology specialising in metal and ceramic applications. Looking to the future, all of these technologies will be on show on the NCMT stand at MACH exhibition - Hall 19, stand 130. Machining centre gains robotic loading of workpieces Rigid, thermally-stable construction protects the Okuma Genos M560-V-e vertical machining centre (VMC) from thermal deformation, resulting in high machining performance for an entry-level machine. The 3-axis machine is able to process a variety of materials from titanium to aluminium and does so without sacrificing dimensional accuracy, finish quality or productivity. At the show, the machine will be equipped with a Cellro X20 robotic system for component load / unload and storage.
Small 5-axis machining centre in the Genos range The popular Genos M460V-5AX VMC with a working volume of 762 x 460 x 460 mm will be at MACH and will be one of the first Okuma machines to be exhibited in the UK with the manufacturer’s new OSP 500 control. It was the original 5-axis machine in Okuma’s economical, series-built Genos range. High-specification lathe at a competitive price The competitively priced Genos L3000-e-MYW lathe from Okuma will make an appearance at
