Torque-Expo

The eco 200 grinding machine by Micromatic Grinding Technologies was among the highlights at Master Abrasive’s MACH stand this year.

The eco 200 made its UK exhibition debut at the show and was complemented on the stand by the Master range of grinding wheels, alongside its updated brochure, matching the brand’s new look.

“MACH was an ideal platform for the full range of machinery and grinding products we now offer, said MD Paul Batson. “We were pleased to welcome hundreds of visitors onto our stand to view the eco 200 grinding machine. One of the highlights at the show was making the sale of the eco 200 to Border Ballistics Technologies.”

The economical eco 200 received a lot of attention being a basic but high-precision grinder which can be used for external, internal or face grinding applications. The machine was displayed with a range of the additional accessories offered by Micromatic, including the digital read-out. Its small footprint and low cost combined with its ability to hold tight tolerances makes it a great economical entry model machine for tool rooms requiring precise and accurate repeatability of wheel slide within ±0.001mm, the firm said.

Master Abrasives also used the show to announce their new agency for Alex Machine Tools, which are now available in the UK & Ireland. Alex has developed a comprehensive range of surface grinding machines over the past 30 years, including the reciprocating hydraulically-operated surface grinder, the high power rotary surface grinder and the precision double disk grinders. This range includes a wide variety of sophisticated elements including computer numerical controls, automatic in-process gauging and other material handling automation, depending on the customer’s need and application.
