Representatives from Hartwig as well as machine builders will be on hand to field questions regarding the equipment and how it applies to today’s manufacturing needs. Also, tooling suppliers, such as Autonetics, Caron Engineering, Edge Technologies, Esprit, Hexagon Metrology, Kennametal, Koma, MP Systems, Sandvik, Velocity/SU-matic and Industrial Equipment Capital will be on hand to field questions as well.
