HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION Empowers Manufacturing at IMTS 2026 with Solutions for Retrofitting, Machine Builders, and Precision Performance
IMTS 2026 | September 14–19 | Booth #339440
Schaumburg, IL – (September 2026) – At the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) 2026, HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION will introduce the new MILLPWRCT control from ACU-RITE SOLUTIONS, a valued member of the HEIDENHAIN Corporate Group. As a featured solution within the company’s retrofit portfolio, the MILLPWRCT demonstrates how manufacturers can extend the life of existing machine tools while achieving greater precision and productivity. At Booth #339440, visitors will also experience additional technologies that support machine retrofits, machine tool builders, and precision metrology, helping manufacturers meet today’s growing production challenges.
Manufacturing is constantly evolving, and every operation faces its own unique challenges. Machine shops are looking to maximize the performance of existing equipment, OEMs are developing the next generation of machine tools, and manufacturers are continually seeking greater accuracy, process reliability, and production efficiency. At IMTS 2026, HEIDENHAIN will demonstrate how its technologies help customers solve these challenges through solutions tailored to every stage of the manufacturing process.
To help visitors quickly identify the technologies most relevant to their operations, the HEIDENHAIN booth will feature three primary solutions: Retrofitting, OEM & Machine Tool Builders, and Metrology & Performance.
For manufacturers looking to extend the life and capabilities of existing equipment, the booth will showcase retrofitting technologies designed to improve machine performance while maximizing existing investments. Visitors can explore solutions including the MILLPWRCT control, TNC7 control family, precision touch probes, linear encoders, and motion control retrofit technologies that help enhance machining accuracy and reduce downtime without replacing entire machine tools.
Machine builders and OEMs will discover technologies engineered to support the next generation of high-performance machine tools. The OEM & Machine Tool Builder technologies featured at the booth will include the TNC7 control family, precision linear encoders, torque and linear motor technologies, StateMonitor, automation solutions, and additional products that simplify machine integration while enhancing reliability, connectivity, and overall machine performance.
Manufacturers focused on measurement accuracy and process optimization can learn about the Metrology & Performance technologies that help elevate quality throughout the manufacturing process. Featured solutions include SPECTO length gauges, calibration systems including KGM and RVM, kinematic optimization technologies, and additional metrology solutions that increase measurement confidence, reduce process variation, and optimize machine performance.
Throughout the booth, visitors will have the opportunity to meet with HEIDENHAIN product specialists, experience live technology demonstrations, and discuss manufacturing challenges with experts who understand the demands of modern production environments. HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION will also participate in the IMTS Smartforce Student Summit through ACU-RITE SOLUTIONS, introducing students to precision machining technologies and careers in manufacturing.
