Machine display dates
01 August 2014
Following a preview of the XYZ 2op portable VMC at the MACH exhibition, potential customers now have the opportunity to attend the machine's official launch at eight special events being hosted by XYZ Machine Tools.

Visitors will be shown how this machine will have a major impact on productivity through its performance and portability, and bring the benefits of cellular manufacturing within the reach of every machine shop.
The compact design of a XYZ 2op, with a footprint of just 1219 mm by 762 mm, and weighing just 1000 kg, means it can be located virtually anywhere in the factory. It is suitable for pre- and second-op work, whether requiring drilling, milling or tapping.
The event dates are: 18th and 19th August at Burlescombe, Devon; and 3rd and 4th September at Nuneaton. Two 90 minute presentations will take place at 11:00 and 13:30, with lunch provided. Book early as space is limited.
