TECHNOLOGY DAY STANDS UP AND DELIVERS
November 2006
Over 65 engineering
companies attended the highly successful “Technology Day”, held in the
Engineering Technology Group’s showroom in Southam, Warwickshire on 15
November, 2006.
Technology Day gave customers the opportunity to discuss applications,
drawings and components, and to consider the best manufacturing methods.
There was also an opportunity to take customers from model to manufacture in
one step, with technical discussions between applications and customers.
The event celebrated the Group’s new strategic partnership with Cenit Desk
top, CG Tech Vericut and the Society of British Aerospace Companies (SBAC)
and also provided an opportunity to demonstrate Catia V5, Cadcam Vericut
Simulation, Hyfore fixture design and manufacture on Chiron and Nakamura
machines.

Paul Rhodes, Chairman of the Engineering Technology Group, said: “The
Technology Day was a brand new concept, illustrating the combined benefits
of the expertise of the individual companies within our Group. Visitors were
able to witness first hand our ability to design, deliver and install a
complete manufacturing process from solid model. The aerospace industry, in
particular, values partnerships in which new technology, such as high speed
cutting and 5 axis machining, can be applied to their production
requirements by experts in the various techniques. The Engineering
Technology Group offers cadcam expertise and facilities were demonstrated
and both new and existing customers could witness a number of actual turn
key projects from concept to application in real time.”
Barry Hindson, Managing Director of Burden Engineering and a customer of The
Engineering Group, commented:
“The Technology Day was one of the rare occasions where we were able to
discuss solutions to the manufacturing process rather then just
specifications of the machine tool”
Notes :
Amongst the 65 customers attending were Magellan Aerospace, BAE Systems,
Ford Component Manufacturing, Smiths Aerospace, Norcot Engineering, JRI
Manufacturing and SPS Aerostructures.
Four high-technology manufacturing businesses - Chiron Werke UK, Turning
Technologies, Hyfore and Hyforemation - have come together to create the
Engineering Technology
Group Ltd.
This new Group has adopted a new and radically different philosophy that
gives customers the opportunity to take full advantage of highly productive
machine tools and compete in global markets.
The Engineering Technology Group's approach combines what smaller companies
do best - provide specialised expertise and focus - with the strong
resources infrastructure and market knowledge of a larger organisation. Each
of the four members of the Group will operate as an individual business,
with its own dedicated team of skilled, factory-trained engineers, but be
part of a unified structure that allows them to share common central
resources, services and information.
Turning Technologies is a member
of the Engineering
Technology Group.
