Prominently positioned on Stand 8 in the Lobby Zone, Rainford Precision will give attendees at the Limerick event an insight into why Rainford Precision has bespoke solutions for manufacturers in niche Irish manufacturing segments.
Ultra-Precise 5-Axis Machining with Kern Technology
On the 11th and 12th June at the Technological University of Shannon (TUS), Rainford will present technology like the Kern range of ultra-precise 5-axis machining centres, Finepart micro abrasive waterjet cutting technology and cutting tools from some of the world’s most prestigious brands.
Kern is renowned for its unparalleled levels of precision with machine tools that comfortably achieve precision and repeatability levels of +/-1micron during 5-axis machining. At the Limerick event, experts from Rainford Precision will be presenting the incredible speed, precision and productivity of the Kern machines whilst discussing the multitude of machine installations and applications at some of the most stringently regulated and precision-driven industries in the manufacturing sector.
Waterjet Cutting Innovations from Finepart
Engineers from Rainford Precision are also relishing the opportunity to present the Finepart micro abrasive waterjet cutting technology. With its 3, 4, and 5-axis waterjet machines, Finepart takes ‘micro’ precision to a new plateau. It can achieve a positional accuracy of +/-2.5 microns, a repeatability of +/-2 microns, and a typical cutting tolerance of +/-10 microns.
Debut of PECM and Benzinger Turning Solutions
New to the Rainford stable and making its debut in Ireland will be the PEMTec brand. Recognised as world leaders in precision electrochemical metal machining (PECM), this process enables metal parts to be machined with an accuracy and repeatability in the sub-micron range, achieving a surface quality of 0.03µm – all without contact. Imagine the possibilities!
The new Benzinger Range of turning centres will also be showcased at the Rainford stand. As is standard with any Rainford Precision brand, the German-manufactured Benzinger machines distinguish themselves with remarkable levels of precision, repeatability, productivity, and, above all, flexibility.
Advanced Cutting Tool Solutions and Graphite Machining
Rainford Precision will also present its latest cutting tool solutions from world-renowned brands such as Union Tool, Louis Bélet, Delmeco, Gloor, HOBE, Osawa, DTS, Iwata, 6C Tools, Swissceramill and ATOM. The respective partners are industry leaders in the manufacture of drills, end mills, reamers, boring bars, threadmills and slitting saws. Within this diverse portfolio are tools for specialist applications and material types, such as the Hufschmied brand of milling tools. The Graftor range of end mills from Hufschmied has been developed specifically for machining graphite, and the range can double productivity rates and tool life when compared to rival tools. With such a diverse platform of specialist cutting tools and micro tool solutions, Rainford has invested in a Keyence digital microscope to provide a complete tool investigation and consultancy service for customers in the UK and Ireland.
New Investment in Tool Inspection and Customer Service
Commenting on the new investment, Rainford Precision Managing Director Miles Evans says: “When you are servicing customers with tools below 0.5mm diameter, diagnosing and optimising tool life and performance is a challenge. The Keyence system enables us to provide a unique service within the cutting tool marketplace. At Manufacturing Solutions Ireland in June, we’ll be able to discuss the challenges of micromachining and offer manufacturers a solution that wasn’t available before.”
