CamIn grinder and BarMaster: explore Allways Precision's cutting-edge technology at IMTS 2024

Allways Precision, LLC, an America-based leader in the centerless grinding industry, is gearing up to make a significant impact at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) 2024 in Chicago, at booth #236723.

Known for its unparalleled expertise in centerless grinding and remanufacturing of Cincinnati centerless grinders, Allways Precision is poised to showcase its latest technological innovations, including its new CamIn grinder and BarMaster material handling system, which promise to revolutionize bar grinding for the future of precision manufacturing.

IMTS, one of the largest manufacturing trade shows in the world, provides a platform for showcasing advanced technologies and innovative solutions to the global manufacturing community. For 2024, Allways Precision’s booth will focus on the automation, precision, and ease of use that modern manufacturing demands.

The CamIn grinder: overcoming camout grinding challenges

A highlight of Allways Precision’s booth will be the new CamIn grinder. This innovative piece of machinery promises to “take the cam out of camout,” enhancing the precision and reliability of centerless grinding. The CamIn grinder addresses the persistent challenge of camout grinding and the constant variation in grinding parameters.

With the CamIn grinder, the company brings a solution to market that optimizes setup and reduces the variability caused by camout, making it easier for operators to achieve consistent results, especially in applications requiring tight tolerances. This advancement demonstrates Allways Precision's commitment to continuous innovation in a field where precision and consistency are non-negotiable.

BarMaster: automation and lights-out operation

Another standout technology at IMTS will be the BarMaster material handling system, which supports fully automated, lights-out operation for bar grinding. In today’s manufacturing environment, automation is not just a competitive advantage - it is a necessity. The BarMaster system is designed to streamline the bar grinding process by enabling operators to set up a job and allow the system to work autonomously, freeing up skilled labor for other tasks while reducing downtime.

What makes the BarMaster particularly compelling is its ease of use. Setup is fast and precise, allowing for quick changeovers between jobs with minimal manual intervention. This enables manufacturers to maintain top productivity levels, even during shifts with fewer operators or overnight operations. The company has engineered the system to ensure high reliability and repeatability, essential for industries requiring large quantities of consistently ground bars.

Focus on IMTS 2024: innovation, service, and industry partnerships

At IMTS 2024, Allways Precision will not only demonstrate its state-of-the-art machines but will also emphasize the company’s long-standing dedication to service and support. With decades of experience in remanufacturing Cincinnati centerless grinders, Allways Precision has positioned itself as a trusted partner for manufacturers in aerospace, automotive, medical, and other high-precision industries. Its expertise goes beyond providing machines - Allways Precision is also known for offering parts, training, and service, ensuring its customers maintain optimal performance on their shop floors.

Special IMTS sale: servo drives and discounts

As part of its presence at IMTS 2024, the company will also be promoting an exclusive sale of its obsolete ACOPOS 1022, 1090, and 1320 servo drives, which have been out of production since 2022.
