Delcam to show five-axis and high-speed machining techniques in Thailand |
Delcam will demonstrate its latest five-axis machining and high-speed machining techniques at the Thaimetalex exhibition to be held in Bangkok from 18th to 21st November. The demonstrations are part of Delcam’s campaign to encourage Asian companies, both large and small, to increase their productivity and their competitiveness with the latest machining technology.
While companies in the USA and Europe have used five-axis and high-speed
machining for many years, until recently Asian subcontractors and toolmakers
have been reluctant to invest in the newer methods. They have been discouraged
both by the cost of the higher specification machine tools and by the
increased complexity of the CAM programming techniques that must be used.
The time has now come, however, when even smaller companies in the region
cannot afford to ignore the opportunities that these new technologies
offer to shorten delivery times, boost productivity and increase profitability.
