Starrag will unveil several new technologies at the Manufacturing & Engineering North East (MENE) exhibition in Newcastle, including machines making their first appearance in the UK market. The company’s showcase at the Vertu Motors Arena will highlight innovations designed to enhance precision and efficiency in heavy-duty machining applications.
Heckert H Compact Series: Twin Pallet Productivity
Among the featured technologies is the Heckert H Compact Series of twin pallet horizontal machining centres, which combines high-speed operation with rigid simultaneous 5-axis capability. The inclusion of a trunnion table makes this machine particularly suitable for demanding machining tasks, offering versatility for workshops handling complex components.
Dörries VT 28: Powering Large-Scale Manufacturing
Recognizing the North East’s and Scotland’s expertise in heavy engineering, Starrag will present the Dörries VT 28 vertical turning centre. Designed for single-operation machining of large parts in aerospace, power generation, and offshore sectors, this machine delivers precision and stability for components weighing up to 17 tonnes, with diameters reaching 2.8m and heights of 2.65m.
Multifunctional Machining Capabilities
The Dörries VT 28 stands out as a compact single-column vertical lathe capable of turning, drilling, boring, milling, and grinding operations. Its ability to handle everything from rough machining to finishing in one setup makes it ideal for manufacturers seeking to streamline production processes while maintaining high accuracy standards.
Meet the Experts at MENE
Starrag invites attendees to visit Stand 55 at the MENE exhibition on 28 November to explore how these technologies can optimize machining performance and reduce setup times for large components. The event provides an opportunity for manufacturers to discuss their specific requirements with Starrag’s technical specialists and see the machines in action.
