SMEC America (formerly Samsung Machine Tools) aims to impress IMTS attendees with the dependability and reliability of its machines. This year, the company is featuring both its classic machines and several new to the US market, including lathes with linear guides and grinding machines suitable for the semiconductor and quartz markets.
“Our machines are known to be workhorses,” says Peter Jung, chief operating officer of SMEC America. The company is confident in the rigidity and ruggedness of its machine tools, which it is demonstrating on the shop floor. Most of the machines are performing air cutting, but an LCV 6700 VMC is performing rough cutting to showcase the stability of SMEC’s machines. Attendees can take advantage of promotional prices running through the show on SMEC’s machines, both those at the show and those which are not.
Engineers from Korea, where the machines are built, are at the booth to help answer questions about the machines. Attendees can also ask SMEC’s international sales representatives and domestic distributors for additional information.
