600 UK have been working around the clock to deliver a wealth of new, high specification lathe and workholding products that will be unveiled at a 3 day Openhouse event from 2 to 4 June 2015.
This Openhouse event, targeted at UK customers, worldwide distributors and associated engineering specialists will take place at 600 UK’s Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire manufacturing headquarters. 600 UK will be demonstrating the full extent of their new, market leading product developments including exciting additions to the Colchester and Harrison lathe and Pratt Burnerd International workholding ranges.
These product launches will include significant enhancements to the hugely successful Colchester and Harrison ‘market benchmark’ centre lathe ranges and new machine models to complement and significantly enhance the world renown Harrison Alpha X Series combination CNC lathes.
Visitors will be invited to tour 600 UK’s manufacturing facility that was totally reconfigured and modernised through a £750,000 investment project completed in 2014. They will be able to follow the manufacture and build of Colchester Tornado CNC turning centres, Harrison Alpha manual/CNC ‘teach’ lathes and manual centre lathes together with Pratt Burnerd International advanced workholding products.
Also on display will be Taper Roller Bearings from Gamet Bearings, plus laser marking systems from Electrox – market-leading brands that are all integrated within the UK based 600 Group Plc.
Mike Berry, 600 UK managing director said “After listening to our customers’ feedback over the years, our design and development team have been working extremely hard to make many of these ideas a reality and this year’s Openhouse event marks the culmination of that work.
We are very excited about these new developments and the benefits that they will bring to our customers around the world.”
