Tattoo artist and rotary tattoo machinist Dan Kubin “upped his game” with the acquisition of a Webb milling machine equipped with an ACU-RITE MILLPWRG2 control.

Major Tool & Machine (MTM) in Indianapolis trusted HEIDENAHIN when updating their 20-year-old SCHIESS FZG6 (DSI) gantry milling machine. The rebuild included complete retrofitting of the electrical system, new CNC control/drive systems, and new position feedback with HEIDENHAIN absolute linear scales.

HEIDENHAIN’s ACU-RITE brand introduces its new line of digital readouts (DRO) for the machine tool marketplace, with exciting new software features and robust hardware that is making a difference for milling, turning, grinding and boring applications — the most complete line in the industry.

Marten Machining, a large shop in Wisconsin, continues to invest in area youth and attributes its five-axis machining as a significant part of its success.

HEIDENHAIN is pleased to announce the addition of an exciting new product — the AMO LMF 9310 multi-section linear encoder — specifically designed for long length applications (over 10’) on manually operated machines and is compatible with ACU-RITE brand digital readouts.

Meeting the needs of the evolving Industry 4.0 manufacturing initiative, OPEN MIND Technologies has recently partnered with HEIDENHAIN TNC controls to provide exclusive first use of their new NC code-based simulation solution hyperMILL® VIRTUAL Machining.

HEIDENHAIN recently acquired AMO, an Austrian specialty encoder company well known for meeting precision feedback requirements where high resolution is needed.

To support the increased interest and use of TNC controls in North America, HEIDENHAIN has significantly increased the number of training classes in 2018.
