Turntec fair for turning and milling
01/02/2005
The key to the success of Turntec (50 per cent more exhibitors and 47 per cent more visitors than in 2003) is a unique concept. Turntec covers the entire process of turning (lathe turning through the tool and the spare parts piece). It is, according to its organizers, the only specialized global fair which covers all the turned parts industry and the technology of the lathe. It covers so a gap in the market. As more and more and more manufacturers of turned parts offer manufactured parts and also the fashion in the machinery industry is geared increasingly towards the centres of milling, table of exhibitors and the Organizer have reached common agreement to include the term "the milling technology" so Turntec is now the "international fair of" "turned parts and the turning and milling technology".
With 54.9 per cent, more than half of the exhibitors come from the field of pieces turned and milled (49,9 percent turned pieces, 5% milled pieces). It is followed by the branch of the tool with a 12.1 per cent and lathes with 11.3 per cent. The following fields are the engineering mechanical and equipment with a 3.8 per cent each, cleaning and fastening with a 2.9 percent each media, media measurement with a 2.1 per cent, coolants and lubricants as well as revision of machines and prefinado of metals with a 1.3 per cent each, waste treatment, software and tools with a 1.1 per cent control each one, labour protection and raw materials with a 0.5 percent each and warehouse facilities with 0.3 per cent. A 0.9% represents other fields. As a novelty this year milling machines and appear Autoloaders of bars with a 0.3 percent each. The third edition of Turntec covers thus a gap between the industry of turned parts and lathes and tools sector.
