GCA TECHNICAL EVENT AT GLOBAL CUTTING TECHNOLOGIES

All of us at GCT were very pleased to welcome members of the GCA to our new factory and showroom on the occasion of the GCA Technical event.
In particular, we were delighted to renew some old acquaintances (some of which were older than we care to remember!) and to reminisce about old times and to get up to speed about everyone’s current status and plans for the future.
We were very grateful for this opportunity to show off our new facility and extensive machine range and I hope that our collective enthusiasm shone through – we are very proud of what we have achieved.
We sincerely hope that the attendees found the day both interesting and enjoyable and that my various speeches did not get too boring – I only noticed one member (who shall remain nameless) nodding off. Hopefully, the lunch at Kettering Park alleviated any tedium that had set in!
With our long association with the gasket industry, we tailored the demonstrations to show the very latest in cutting technology including:
• The Elitron CNC knife cutting table for the cutting of gasket materials including tang graphite. This beautifully built system is of very rigid construction and has very user friendly software. Extensively used throughout Europe and the US, machines are now being installed in the UK.
• The GCT Nova water jet cutting machine with comprehensive gasket cutting specification and an all-in amazing price structure.
• The RBC 60 receding head cutting press – the UK’s best selling large area die cutting press.
• The HSC high speed kiss cutting machine for kiss cutting and through cutting with scrap and product rewind stations.
• The Nova range of swing arm, travelling head and fixed beam presses which are designed for maximum specification, maximum value and minimum price.

• Our reconditioning line for automatic travelling head presses as well as other types of die cutting press.
For those GCA members who were unable to attend on the day, can I just ask that you contact us direct at any time in order to arrange a personalized viewing of any machines that may interest you – we maintain a fully stocked showroom all year round and we are always delighted to welcome visitors.
