USA conference on world markets for cutting & machine tools
Gorham Conferences (Gorham, ME, USA) has announced the staging of its international conference - World Markets for Cutting Tools and Machine Tools - from 21-23 May 2001 at the Atlanta Airport Marriott Hotel in Atlanta, GA, USA.
The objective of the conference is to bring together in a spirited open forum discussion format CEOs, presidents/vice presidents, and sales, marketing and technology managers from the world's leading producers and users of cutting tools and machine tools to discuss and debate new business opportunities and technical advances.
Speakers and participants will represent major machine tool manufacturers, producers of cutting tolls and industrial users of these products. They will engage in debate and discussions centred on the present world market for the production and use of cutting and machine tools and the prospects for new markets and applications that will continue to fuel high growth rates, particularly in the automotive and aerospace markets, through the year 2002 and beyond. Participants will, says Gorham, gain strategic information on:
End-user market and technology trends in cutting tools and coatings Market forecasts and trends, emerging applications and business opportunities for producers of cutting tools, including HSS, cemented carbides, new superhard materials, PCBN, CBN, PCD, cermets, CVD/PVD coated cutting tools and ceramics - and their associated machine tools, tool holders and cutting fluids. Market forecasts and trends, emerging applications and business opportunities for producers of machine tools with an emphasis on advances in automation, high speed machining and cutting fluids/coolants. The markets and applications for these new cutting and machine tools as the global economy expands and new manufacturing capacity comes on line in the Far East. Tooling requirements for ceramic, metal and plastic matrix composites. Opportunities and demand for cutting tools, machine tools and advanced machining systems in the manufacture of aircraft airframes, gas turbine engines and automotive components. The outlook for advanced coating systems and materials for cutting tools - new PVD/CVD coating processes, technologies and materials including medium temperature CVD and plasma assisted PVD. High speed machining technology and market growth.
