Vendors Are Ready To Surprise Customers And Visitors Attending Imtex 2019 With Plenty Of New Products And Solutions.

Meeting Targets

THE END OF THIS MONTH WILL SEE VENDORS of all machine tools and CNC gather at the only largest trade fair for this sector. IMTEX 2019 celebrates 50 years this time! IMTEX 2017 & Tooltech 2017 held in BIEC attracted a footfall of 75,440 visitors. Going by reports, the fair generated orders worth Rs 1,670 crore and enquiries to the value of Rs 18,989 crore. Probably this time should be better considering that the economy has been on an upswing as compared to two years ago.

Few realise the role the machine tool industry plays in the economy. For laymen, they are just tools to cut, sharpen, bend, grind, etc. But it’s the precision of these tool that add to the automotive, aerospace, and any other industry that uses steel, aluminium, titanium, Inconel, and other hard metals and alloys that need to be given a shape. Machine tools have gradually evolved over the past millennia.

Similarly, there is a a host of ancillary industry that plays an important role along with machine tools. This is the lubricants and cooling oils that are necessary to up the performance of the tools. Every year, millions of dollars are spent on the replacement of machine tools due to the low performance of lubricants. Machine tool oils are the ideal solution for increasing the lubrication of equipment. Proper synchronisation is required during the operation of equipment for the efficient working of the procedure.
