The theme of the 2013 EMO Hannover metalworking trade fair—“Intelligence in Production”—couldn’t be more appropriate for UK-based Precision Technologies Group (PTG). As a leading global provider of ultra-precision rotor and thread grinding machines, rotor milling machines, heavy-duty lathes, deep hole boring machines, and friction stir welding technologies, PTG has built its reputation on developing intelligent manufacturing solutions.

Officially launched at EMO 2011, the Zenith 400 helical profile grinding machine, from PTG company Holroyd Precision Limited, has the capability to grind rotors of up to 420 mm in diameter and is able to use tooling from other Holroyd grinding machines, as well as tooling from competitors.

Representing a whole new generation in grinding machine technology, the Zenith 400 features Holroyd Profile Management Software (HPMS), an easy-to-use intuitive control system that incorporates both a development and production software suite.

Offering far-reaching opportunities for jointing often difficult-to-weld alloys, where special attention is paid to structural rigidity, Powerstir models produce superior high strength welded joints without the detrimental and visible effects often associated with conventional welding.

In 2012, a Powerstir machine was developed for use in the manufacture of railway car bodies for China’s high-speed rail network. This feat of design and construction further demonstrated PTG’s precision engineering capabilities—particularly as in building the machine in question, PTG also had to develop a 30m x 4m gantry.

Visitors to Hall 26 Stand B51 will be able to explore the wide range of technologies and services of Precision Technologies Group.

In addition to ultra-precise large screw rotors, produced using Holroyd Precision Limited’s Zenith 400 helical profile grinding machine, a number of bespoke helical forms from Precision Components Limited will also be on display.

Delegates will also be able to view the superior, high strength welded joints created by Powerstir Friction Stir Welders from PTG Heavy Industries, as well as components and tooling. “Over the years, EMO Hannover has established itself as the global meeting point for the entire international metalworking sector,” comments PTG Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Tony Bannan. “At EMO 2013, we intend to demonstrate exactly why the Precision Technologies Group is a leading choice for intelligent metalworking solutions.”
