NCMT opens Coventry Technology Centre for Engineered for Power event

Leading manufacturing technology provider NCMT will host a two-day technical event at their Coventry Technology Centre on 9–10 September 2026.

Entitled ‘Engineered for Power’, the event is dedicated to precision grinding and advanced manufacturing for turbine blades, vanes and high-value engine components.

Created specifically for manufacturers working across aerospace, industrial gas turbine and power generation applications. The event will showcase how advanced grinding, EDM drilling and machining technologies can support the production of complex, high-value components where profile accuracy, surface finish, repeatability and process stability are critical.

The new Makino G5 grinding machine with Pro6 control will be a central focus of the event, combining grinding and machining in a single platform for complex component production. Visitors will see how the G5 addresses the demands of turbine blade and vane applications, where geometry, material behaviour and production consistency are critical.

As the exclusive partner of Makino and Okuma in the UK and Ireland the event will also highlight supporting technologies, including EDM and advanced machining solutions, allowing visitors to consider the wider processes available for turbine component production.

Jonathan Smart, Managing Director of NCMT, said: “Engineered for Power has been designed for manufacturers who are dealing with some of the most demanding production challenges in aerospace and power generation. Turbine blades, vanes and engine components require absolute confidence in process stability, accuracy and repeatability. This event will give visitors the opportunity to see relevant technologies up close, discuss real applications with our specialists and understand how NCMT can support them from process development through to long-term production performance.”

Visitors attending the event will be able to see and discuss:

• The Makino G5 and its role in precision grinding for turbine blades and vanes
• EDM drilling technology for cooling holes and critical component features
• Advanced Makino and Okuma machining solutions for complex, high-value parts
• Process-led approaches to repeatability, surface finish and production stability
• Application support from NCMT and its technology partners

The event is aimed at OEMs, tier-one and tier-two suppliers, aerospace manufacturers, power generation companies, gas turbine component manufacturers, precision engineering subcontractors, manufacturing engineers, production managers, process development teams and technical buyers.
