Among the services on offer are preventive maintenance packages, laser-assisted leveling and square machine alignment, ballbar circularity inspection, tram testing, and CNC servo tuning.
Founder and President Steve Ortner says the company’s customers today seek guidance in assembling complete turnkey system solutions for certain applications or part families as well as assistance with machine tool choice and application, comparing his company to an architect that partners with its customers to plan their operations and solve their problems.
