It’s finally spring and with spring comes the itch to make new things happen or to get all those “I’ll wait until its warmer” projects launched. Ever since I can remember, I have always anticipated springtime more than any other time of the year. I’m sure much of it comes from growing up in the Midwest and becoming increasingly annoyed by winter’s stranglehold toward the end of February and March.
A universal message of spring is hope, a time of renewal and re-awakening of the earth and our own self worth. I am always re-energized this time of year and can’t wait to start planting the new seeds of success for a plentiful harvest throughout the rest of the year.
So what’s new and exciting about the turning industry this spring? Tons!
For us at Eurotech, we are very excited to introduce 2 brand new models to our line up.
The WL-25 and the TL-25
These machines will be introduced at the PMTS Show BOOTH 689 in Columbus, Ohio on April 24th, 25th and 26th
The WL-25 is a twin sliding headstock machine with a 25mm(1”) spindle capacity and full C rotary axis on both spindles. Two separate gang tool slides with Y axis and live tool capability give this machine the “get it done” capability for Eurotech Elite status.
With 1,574 inches per minute Z travel, you have got to see it to believe it.
This will fill a new niche for us in the small parts production category where Swiss style machines are not required or capable of meeting the reduced cycle times of the WL-25.
The TL-25 is a similar machine to the WL-25 but with one XY slide instead of 2 separate XY slides of the WL-25. This machine with the same 25mm capacity but a lower price is designed to complete in small parts front and back complete with shared tooling from a single gang slide. Up to 4 live tools can be utilized on the slide.
NO GUIDE BUSHINGS or special prepped material is our battle cry for the WL-25 and the TL-25 machines.
Also in our booth will be the 710SLL 7 axis, twin turret, twin spindle model with our unique “clear shift” spindle technology. This is a fully integrated machine ready to complete complex turned pieces in the shortest time possible. Come see what a fully equipped ready to go turning center will look like in your shop!
ZOOM , ZOOM, ZOOM or maybe VAROOM, VAROOM, VAROOM better describes the FWR (Frank Weiss Racing) motorcycle that will be displayed in our booth along with the Eurotech machines.
Frank Weiss Racing is a Eurotech user from Indianapolis, Indiana just a couple of blocks from the world’s most famous race track. Frank Weiss Racing has a Eurotech 710SLLY that produces a wide variety of parts for the automotive and motorcycle racing industries. Their commitment to quality and customer service brought them to a very well researched decision to purchase a Eurotech over other competitors. Come by and see the beauty, quality and the affirmation of perfection in this work of art they call a “bike”.
And if that isn’t enough, be sure to stop by BOOTH 689, say hello and have a freshly made Cappuccino.
Ciao!
