Amada Machine Tools hosts media briefing

As part of Amada Machine Tools America Inc.’s introduction of a multitask machine and a profile grinder to the North American market, the machine tool builder hosted a media briefing event Feb. 29 at its 40,000-sq.-ft. Technical Center in Schaumburg, Ill.

George Kowalewski, national sales manager, provided a presentation about the S-10 mill/turn machine, which has one spindle and two turrets that each have eight or 12 stations. The twin turrets enable simultaneous machining using live tools on each turret. The machine also has a subspindle for machining a part on six sides. A reversing vise accessory is another method for working both ends of a part in one loading. According to the company, the machine’s modular design enables users to tailor the S-10 for specific jobs. The machine is suitable for gantry loading, bar feeding and manual loading of parts.
