An Impetus to the Manufacturing Sector

The phenomenal success of the first edition of the Delhi Machine Tool Expo (DMTX) made Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association (IMTMA) organise the second edition with an objective to bring together small and big industry players, stalwarts and industry experts under one roof. The show is scheduled to take place from August 10–13, 2017 at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi.

Despite being a hub to major engineering and machine tool ind­ustries, manufacturers in northern states of Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, etc. still lack the much-needed exposure to global manuf­acturing trends and innova­tions. DMTX, with its reach, aims to fill that gap and provide a platform for these man­ufacturers, especially the SMEs of the tier II and III cities of the region, to witness the current technologies and solutions, address their issues and enhance their manufactur­ing capabilities.

Repeating history

Having garnered favorable reviews for the previous edition from the participants and the industry, the organisers have made sure not to leave any stone unturned to do it right this time too. In fact, more efforts are poured in to surpass last time’s success. PG Jadeja, President, IMTMA, elaborated, “The first edition of the expo organized in 2015 evoked a warm response with the presence of several domestic and international players. Manufacturers were able to expand their range. The second edition will enable them to build on the earlier success and reach out to the regional industries.”

Expressing his expectations from the show, V Anbu, Director General, IMTMA, stated, “IMTMA is eyeing a bigger success in this edition. We expect a larger level of participation across various industry sectors and I am confident that the expo will continue to evolve in its future editions.”

A peek into the latest

The show, spread over an area of 12,000 sq mt, will accommodate 200 exhibitors in the three of its halls (Hall 11, 12 and 12A). It will cover a wide array of metal working machine tools for both metal-cutting and -forming including the current trends in manufacturing like automation and robotics, tooling systems and CAD/CAM.

The exhibits will include Turning machines; CNC multi-function machines; Drilling, Boring, Tool Grinding and Milling machines; Screwing and threading machines; Honing, Lapping, Polishing and Deburring machines; Electro erosion machines; Robotics and manufacturing automation; Machines for marking; Machine tools for educational purposes; Sheet metal cutting machines; Sheet metal blanking; Punching machines; Machines for the production of bolts, nuts, screws and rivets; Joining and welding; Robotics and manufacturing automation; Automation for sto­­rage and transport; and Dies and moulds.

Metrology and WELDEXPO

For the first time DMTX has integrated two concurrent shows: METROLOGY EXPO for testing instrument, metr­ology and equipment; and WELDEXPO for welding, cutting and joining.

In today’s complex manu­facturing process, accuracy and precision plays an important role to define the quality of finished products, which require high level of detailing and low tolerance. When components are machined the process is not completed unless it is measured. Accomplishing the needs of the end customers with quality output can be achieved only after measuring and certifying the end product for its suitability at the customer’s end. A separate pavilion on the Metrology & Measurement will address the needs and provide various innovative and technological solutions for manufacturing.

Similarly, WELDEXPO is held at an opportune time since the recent development of new automated manufacturing methods has made the process more important than ever before. Technologically advanced processes are impro­ving the results of welding and making it applicable to a wider range of manufacturing applications such as pressure vessels, aircrafts, ships and medical devices to high volume products such as automotive parts, appliances, food p­acka-ging and microelectronics.

An august gathering

Delhi MTX 2017 is poised to be a business facilitator between manufacturers and users associated with metal-cutting and -forming industry. Hence, it makes an important affair for players of all levels including CEOs, entrepreneurs, middle-level management, senior executives, corporate planners and strategists, R&D specialists, manufacturing man-a­gers and executives, shop-floor engineers, supervisors and technicians, agents and dealers, spanning industries such as Capital Goods, Material Handling, Medical Engineering Defence, Aerospace, Railways, Automobiles, and Oil & gas.

Apart from India, seven foreign countries: Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, the USA, China, Taiwan and Australia are expected to participate. Three of these, China, Taiwan and the USA will have group participation.

Palette of offerings

For Jyoti CNC, DMTX makes for an ideal platform to exhibit its products with respect to specific industry segments dominant in the northern region. Delhi being a hub to major manufacturing industries, makes it a strategic location to connect with the industries in the surrounding states.

“We look at DMTX as an opportunity to exhibit our technologically advanced pro­ducts with specific focus on specific industrial segments of the region such as the Automobile, Die & Mould, General Engineering, Tractor, Energy and the two-wheeler sector,” stated Himanshu P Shaparia, Vice President - Sales, Jyoti CNC Automation Ltd. The company, through the event, wants to connect with and address the needs of the SME sector which is a dominant force in our country. The company will be displaying its upgraded turning centers and machining centers as complete solutions for the SME sector.

UCAM, an established market leader in India in CNC Rotary Table segment, plans to reach out to its pan India customer base, existing and potential, through DMTX. At the event, it will be showcasing its customized high precision Gear Hobbing and Grinding machines that would strategically support gear manufacturers in the Indian sub-continent, apart from presenting its wide range of standard and specialized CNC Rotary Tables.

Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) hopes that the Indian market will open the door wider for Taiwanese industry and investment. The Taiwan Pavilion will house CNC machine tools, tool holders, cutting tools, riveting machines and various machine tool accessories. To help local buyers know more about Taiwan’s machining equipment, turnkey solutions and after-sale support, TAITRA is organising a press conference on August 10 at the exhibition venue.

A not-to-be-missed affair

Since DMTX is a business to business exhibition, it will draw industry delegations from a wide variety of sectors. Apart from imparting knowledge on the technology innovations in manufacturing, the event also offers a platform to mingle with like-minded players of the industry opening new vistas of opportunities.
