United Grinding Precision Summit to Feature 16 Machines, Technical Sessions

United Grinding North America is hosting industry leaders and manufacturing professionals at the first ever Precision Summit in Miamisburg, Ohio from May 24-25, 2023.

“We are very excited about this new opportunity for our current and future customers to expand their knowledge of our product line and find answers to their questions in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere,” says Markus Stolmar, president and CEO of United Grinding North America. “It’s a ‘must attend’ event for anyone interested in elevating their manufacturing processes to the next level.”

Attendees will be able to view machine demonstrations, displays and technical presentations designed to equip and educate the industry, as well as celebrate United Grinding’s success as a manufacturer of grinding, eroding, laser and measuring machines as well as machine tools for additive manufacturing.

With 16 machines on display, visitors have the opportunity to experience the latest precision grinding equipment, wheels and accessories in person. This includes four recent additions to the lineup designed for specific industry niches.

“We always listen when our customers tell us what they need,” Stolmar says. “These four machines are the direct result of that partnership, and were pleased to put them in the spotlight during The Precision Summit.”

The machines listed to join the lineup are the Helitronic G 200, the Studer S36, Student S100 and Blohm Planomat XT Essential. The Helitronic G 200 is a tool-grinding machine with a compact footprint. The Studer S36 is a cylindrical grinding machien for the EV, hydraulic, pump and toolmaking sectors. The Studer S100 is a good entry-level machine for grinding geometrically defined basic forms and contours. Finally, the Blohm Planomat XT Essential is a three-axis entry-level machine for high-precision surface and profile grinding. This event also marks the first time the Studer S36, Studer S100 and the Blohm Planomat XT Essential are displayed in North America.

Along with machine demonstrations, technical sessions will show how United Grinding’s technology can be tailored to support multiple industries, including EV/automotive, job shops and others.

“Experts will also be on hand to advise job shop managers on how the company’s machines can help make their operations more productive and efficient,” Stolmar says.

A highlight of the event will be the keynote address by Harry Moser, president of the Reshoring Initiative. This organization is a vocal advocate when its comes to making the case to companies that it is often in their interest to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. or keep existing jobs here. His topic will be “Exploring Ways Companies Can Take Advantage of the Reshoring Trend.”

Moser is frequently quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, New Yorker and USA Today and seen on Fox Business, MarketWatch and other national TV and radio programs.

“With all of our experts on the floor along with 16 machines on display, this will be one of the premier events in the grinding industry this year,” Stolmar notes. “Make your plans now to attend and take advantage of the opportunity to learn how we can help you overcome your toughest business challenges.”
