HEIDENHAIN opens new ACU-RITE Technology Education Center

HEIDENHAIN announces the opening of a new ACU-RITE Technology Education Center in the Chicago suburbs.

This new ACU-RITE Technology Education Center (ATEC) is now open to provide special support to its North American customers and prospects with direct access to see and use all its current popular ACU-RITE machine tool components, as well as the ability to call upon its expert trainers.

Now, by appointment and with safety/cleaning protocols in place, special access can be granted to view and test all 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.

Custom training sessions can now be arranged at ATEC in Schaumburg, Ill., as well as private meetings to review product options and discuss specific application needs.
