This morning Drew Hoxey was very busy showing off the industrial safety guard rails from Axelent. X-Guard, X-Rail, X-Tray and X-Protect are completely modular, infinitely customisable and easy on the eye. The Axelent Australia stand was one very compact establishment. They just craned in the container and opened the side. Hoxey says the presentation was everything and the show has been a very positive experience for the company.
Cameron Jamieson of J Tech Laser has picked up the Australian distribution of the HSG lasers now on display down beside the AMTIL stand on the show floor. Brought in from China, these machines are ideal for onshoring jobs and accelerating the Made in Australia program. “HSG’s one of the biggest brands out of China and one of the most reputable with a lot of local support in Australia,” said Jamieson. “They produce 6,000 laser machines, and sell 3,000 out to the world.”
Established and run in Auckland, NZ, Carbide Tools originated from South Africa. Technical Director Paul Zimmerman and family have been in the business for around 30 years, supplying bolts, and some custom design for the aluminium joinery industry. Vanessa Zimmerman says that after investing in ANCA CNC Universal grinders, Carbide Tools went on to manufacture tungsten carbide and HSS Cutting Tools and router bits for a wide range of NZ and now Australian clients. The tough economic conditions has allowed the couple to think outside many boxes and find many smaller business opportunities in and around New Zealand. Their client base now includes Melbourne and Perth clients, among them some boat builds and custom motorbike builders.
Rolling back around to Ronson Gears, Gavin New has had a pretty big year, with awards and contracts being won to supply gears, components and other complex machinery in the mining, defence and aerospace fields. Ronson Gears is looking at another fruitful set of contracts active in sub-assemblies and associated power components. Their presence at AMW2024 has been instrumental in helping their brand shine in the right industries
Bolts and Industrial is also expecting a great year ahead. Any funds granted to projects from government assistance programs to our many industries, like the National Reconstruction Fund for economic stimulation, given time, will come through in orders by their clients. “It would never be direct but through our client’s clients,” Director Andrew Savage said. “We‘ve never really slowed down.”
The Brisbane-based ice creamery ‘Lick’ had its trendy stand set up at the QLD Government stand. Giving out free ice cream all of the way through the AMW show. The Queensland Minster for Industry Glen Butcher visited AMW2024 this afternoon and hung out with AMTIL CEO Shane Infanti, very close to the ‘Lick’ outlet.
Pulse Laser Systems has been supplying Harsle, Super Nova and CC Laser welding systems to a wide range of industry clients for many years. “The 14kw CC laser machine is one our more powerful machines,” said Max Niromand on the stand presence, “but the key is we can bend, etch, weld and do anything, wherever the metal needs to be cut.”
Right down until the end of the show at 4pm Friday, Mechio was showing their Datron Series CNC machine sculpting a Lego-like building block while just around the corner was their M8Cube was spitting out a bunch of 52 die forms at the same time.
