Irish Manufacturer Expands High-speed Machining With 5-axis Acquisitions
As far back as 1998, Smithstown Light Engineering in Shannon, Co Clare, was in the vanguard of high-speed metalcutting, having installed the 12th machining centre ever built by the German firm, Roeders. The 3-axis, vertical-spindle machine has been in continual operation ever since and its 44,000 rpm spindle is still the fastest in the Irish manufacturer's factory.
Uprated conversational control cuts cycle times by a third
Two Hurco VMX30t vertical machining centres (VMCs) have been added to the subcontract machine shop of Schivo Group in Waterford, on the south coast of Ireland. Compared with a VMX42 installed in 2004, the latest machines are 50 per cent more productive, due entirely to the increased functionality of Hurco's conversational programming software, WinMax, incorporated into the control systems.

Excavation and Demolition Arisings: Waste or Resource?
It would seem simple. Some construction sites have an excess of material, others have insufficient. So why can’t they simply exchange these materials? It would be the most sustainable option; avoiding landfill and potentially, unnecessary quarrying of primary aggregates. The Environment Agency and numerous NGO’s actively promote such approaches, and there are a number of mechanisms by which the exchange of surplus materials can take place...
