MACH reports two machine tool sales after live demos at Advanced Engineering
MACH Machine Tools says live machining demonstrations at Advanced Engineering 2026 drew more than 30 enquiries, with two turning into machine tool sales within 24 hours of the show closing. The supplier ran a bed mill and a flat bed lathe under power.
MACH Machine Tools ran two machines under power at Advanced Engineering 2026 in Birmingham, held 4-5 November. The company says the live cutting was the main draw on its stand.
According to MACH, the stand generated more than 30 enquiries over the two days. Two became machine tool sales within 24 hours of the event ending. MACH has not disclosed the value of those sales.
The machines shown were the MDM AR-700 bed mill and the MDL 1600 flat bed lathe. MACH describes both as the smallest models in their respective ranges. The lathe is positioned for prototypes, one-off components and small batch work.
MACH says it will next exhibit at the Southern Manufacturing Show in February 2027.
For equipment buyers, ask whether a supplier offers live cutting demonstrations before you commit. If show-floor interest is the measure, ask how many enquiries convert and over what period. For a bed mill or flat bed lathe, confirm the control, support arrangements and work envelope suit your parts before treating a show sale as a guide.
