Live machining demonstrations give MACH Machine Tools the edge at Advanced Engineering.

MACH Machine Tools has reported that its attendance at Advanced Engineering 2026 in November (4th & 5th) was a resounding success. Over 30 enquiries were taken over the two days and, within 24 hours of the event ending, a number of these had been converted into machine tool sales.

MACH Machine Tools, a leading supplier of high-quality new and used CNC and manual machine tools and workshop equipment to UK, European and US component manufacturers and educational institutions, and part of the Vigilance Group, has reported that its attendance at the recently held Advanced Engineering Show in Birmingham in November, was a complete success.

The company, fresh from its successful debut at IMTS in Chicago in September, demonstrated that irrespective of whether an event has an international dimension or is more locally focused, the same planning and attention to detail goes into making the company’s stand memorable and the technologies being showcased irresistible.

On its Z130 stand at Advanced Engineering, MACH Machine Tools showcased two of its best-selling CNC machines on its stand - a MACH MDM AR-700 bed mill and a MACH MDL1600 flat bed lathe.

Both machines - the smallest models in their respective ranges - were exhibited under power, performing live machining demonstrations. This proved to be a real draw for visitors.

Said Dave Andrew, Vigilance Group’s managing director:

“We were the only machine tool company at the show conducting live machining demonstrations, and this move really paid off.

“Over 30 enquiries were taken at the Show, and two of these were converted into actual machine tool sales just 24 hours after the event ended.”

MACH Machine Tools’ choice of models to showcase on its stand was strategic, and underpinned the depth and breadth of the company’s CNC machine tool range.

MACH MDM AR-700

The MACH MDM AR-700 is a popular, best-selling CNC bed mill and is supplied with the advanced DynaPath control.

The machine is equipped with a powerful 3.7kW/5000rpm (ISO 40) spindle, roller-type linear guideways on its three axes and a 1244mm x 228mm worktable, and is backed by MACH’s 24/7 ‘Remote Assist’ technical support.

The MDM AR-700’s DynaPath control, accessed via a 15.6” touchscreen, offers ISO and conversational programming and features a built-in DXF editor, 16GB program storage capability and 10,000-block look ahead capacity for high-accuracy 3D contouring.

The machine’s impressive technical specification and excellent cutting capabilities, including its ability to deliver high positional (0.006mm) and repeatable (0.003mm) accuracies, make the MDM AR-700 the preferred choice for a growing number of component manufacturers and educational institutions.

MACH MDL 1600

The 8”/10” chuck MACH MDL 1600 is a high-performance, heavy-duty flat bed lathe that is also equipped with the DynaPath control and is supplied with MACH’s ‘Remote Assist’ technical support.

Featuring a 7.5kW/3,500rpm spindle, an automatic 4-way tool post, fixed steadies and a tailstock, the MDL 1600, with its 1050mm distance between centres, is a flexible, high-accuracy CNC lathe that is ideal for machining prototypes, one-offs and small batch series.

Says Matt Andrew, MACH Machine Tools’ director:

“Visitors made a bee-line to our stand at Advanced Engineering, and we were busy for the whole of the two days meeting and greeting attendees and demonstrating the strengths and key performance benefits, not just of the two machines being showcased, but of the MACH machine tool range in general.”

MACH Machine Tools never fails to impress when it attends events and exhibitions. The company will be taking to the stage again in 2027 when it exhibits its latest technologies at the Southern Manufacturing Show in February (2nd - 4th).
