Emuge opens new technology centre

Emuge Corp., West Boylston, Mass., has opened a new technology centre, which is designed to be a full-service resource for manufacturers to apply cutting tool application strategies.

It is equipped with the latest 3- and 5-axis vertical machining centres, precision measuring devices and tool monitoring, in addition to an interactive classroom for training and seminars. The technology centre will serve customers across the U.S. and Canada, enabling manufacturing professionals to test-cut their applications and develop milling, drilling, and threading strategies to optimize tool life and performance and reduce cycle times.

"Our new Technology Center was conceived as a resource for manufacturers to test new machining concepts and tools without tying up their valuable machines and manufacturing time," explained Bob Hellinger, president of Emuge Corp. "Our tooling engineers work directly with customers to replicate actual machining processes and develop new tooling and application parameters with complete documentation."

Three major services offered at the technology centre are test cutting, CNC programming assistance, and training.
