Precision seals the deals at MACH for Rainford

The trend of more manufacturers entering the micro-machining sphere was evident at MACH 2024 as industry experts Rainford Precision celebrated an exceptionally successful show.

The company is reporting unprecedented levels of enquiries for everything from specialist and micro cutting tools to the Kern micron precision 5-axis machining centre and the Finepart micro abrasive waterjet machining solution.

The Kern Micro HD 5-axis machining centre made its UK exhibition premiere – a machine that comfortably achieves precision and repeatability levels of ±1µm on the workpiece in a temperature-controlled environment during 5-axis machining.

“Kern is a brand synonymous with precision and performance that is a benchmark in the industry, and at MACH we had some serious enquiries from manufacturers that are losing production hours and scrapping parts due to machines unable to meet the ever-tighter tolerances the market requires," Rainford Precision’s managing director Miles Evans commented. "Not all manufacturers need this level of precision but for those teetering on the edge of high-precision manufacturing – the Kern is a standout performer and this was evident at the show.”

Also drawing a high level of interest was the Finepart ‘micro’ precision waterjet cutting machine with a positional accuracy of ±2.5µm and a repeatability of ±2µm with a typical cutting tolerance of ±10µm, this machine attracted a significantly high number of serious enquiries. 

On the cutting tool side, Rainford is acknowledged as a specialist in providing solutions capable of cutting the smallest, hardest and most challenging of materials that are beyond the realms of most products.

Rainford Precision presented a suite of new products from brands such as Union Tool, Louis Bélet, Delmeco, Gloor, Hobe, Osawa, DTS, Iwata, 6C Tools, Hufschmied, Swissceramill and Atom. The respective partners are industry leaders in the manufacture of drills, end mills, reamers, boring bars, threadmills, slitting saws and more.
