well as linear, converter, interface, power management and passive products. There were some impressive pieces


of equipment on the fl oor too. Not least LMS Precision’s 5 Axis Matsuura MX420 (pictured). The machine featured a fully automated production table demonstrating the dynamic creation of precision cut parts for customers from the aviation and automotive industries. The machine was equipped with pressure supply ports for through pallet fi xtures, as well as a pallet clamping system for high positional accuracy, and a pallet magazine operation panel allowing for the automated and unmanned change of pallets and workpieces meaning it can be run on evenings and weekends. Sustainability was a key theme at the


show and Waste Mission was one of the many exhibitors focusing on this and waste management. A representative explained that the benefi ts of sustainable waste management included the provision of risk management and supply chain resilience, new revenue streams, policy incentives and social responsibility.


WIDER THEMES OF THE SHOW Other common show themes could be grouped under the umbrella term ‘Industry 4.0’ and included machine learning, data processing and the automation of increasingly complex tasks. Superfi cially this will lead to improved eff iciency through increased automation and the use of advanced robotics, but this digitisation also promises a wider transformation with the uninterrupted fl ow of information between components and operators leading to reduced downtime and optimised production. ●
