HEIDENHAIN (Schaumburg, IL ) has opened a new ACU-RITE Technology Education Center (ATEC) in the Chicago suburbs to providing the company’s North American customers and prospects with direct access to its ACU-RITE machine tool components and its expert trainers.

Now, by appointment and with CDC safety/cleaning protocols in place, special access can be granted to view and test ACU-RITE’s full line of current products, including its popular controls, digital readouts (DROs), encoders and accessories as applied to various machine tools in many instances. Machine tools currently hosted at ATEC include ACU-RITE’s three-axis MILLPWRG2 control system on a vertical knee mill and two-axis TURNPWR control on a tool room lathe, all fully functional.

“We understand the importance of supporting North American manufacturing, maybe more so now than ever before,” said John Parker, HEIDENHAIN’s business development manager for the ACU-RITE brand. “We believe it is our job to help machinists best equip their shop with the top tools and tips to move jobs through their systems quickly and most accurately. And ACU-RITE machine tool components and experts are here to help make that happen. ATEC is just one more instrument of support.”

Custom training sessions can be arranged at ATEC, as well as private meetings to review products and discuss specific application needs. To schedule a visit, email: jparker@heidenhain.com or visit www.heidenhain.us.
