Matt Fowles, sales and marketing manager of LVD commented: ‘Continuing on from our strong performance in the back end of 2005 and the start of 2006, MACH 2006 was important to us to further ’spring board’ LVD’s profile in the market place. The MACH show enabled us to demonstrate a selection of LVD’s ‘high end’ machine tool and software solutions for sheet metalworking, some of which had never been exhibited in the UK before. Existing and particularly new customers commented on how impressed they were with how far LVD’s sheet metalworking technology has advanced.

Many clients commenting on how LVD’s integrated, intelligent and configurable approach to sheet metalworking can provide them with a flexible, productive and an integrated solution to their production needs.’ The show provided some immediate success for LVD with several orders being secured.

These included Garrick Engineering of Southport who purchased the High Speed Axel 3015 5kW Linear CNC laser cutting machine being shown at MACH, Magnetic Shields, from Kent, who purchased one of LVD’s cost effective - Orion 3015 2.5kW CNC laser cutting machines and De-Met from the West Midlands which purchased a new LVD Siena CNC Punch Press.

LVD also enjoyed great success with its PPEB Easy Form Laser CNC Pressbrakes with several customers placing orders at the show after being shown LVD’s Easy Form Laser System (real time in process angle monitoring and correction) in action.

Orders for Easy Form Laser Pressbrakes included B and S Design from Chester, Tiernan Automation from Rugby and Nichol McKay from Scotland.

These companies have bought into LVD’s ‘Art to Part and ‘First Part - Right Part’ technology combining LVD’s CADMAN offline software and LVD’s PPEB Pressbrake with Easy Form Laser technology in one complete bending solution.

Fowles further commented: ‘Whilst it was great to achieve immediate success at the show the main thing that has impressed us is the high quality of forward interest in machines and solutions.

We are looking forward to discussing and demonstrating to new and existing clients how we can provide them with an integrated, intelligent, configurable and affordable solution to their manufacturing challenges.’ * About LVD - the LVD group is a leading worldwide designer, manufacturer and distributor of a comprehensive range of sheet metal / plate working machine tools and software solutions, including laser cutting systems, turret punch presses, press brakes, guillotines and automated flexible manufacturing systems - all supported by its CADMAN PC-based, Windows compatible programming system for punching, laser cutting and bending.
