The grand opening of YCM Technology USA Inc.’s newest technical centre in Sterling Heights, Michigan, has been announced. The new facility is intended to showcase and demonstrate multiple complimentary machining solutions for die/mold machining, general parts machining, and high-speed machining accessible through the YCM Alliance. YCM (milling, turning, and wire EDM), Exeron (sinker EDM and high-speed milling), TriMill (gantry-type portal milling), Cheto (deep-hole drilling), and Millutensil (spotting presses) are among the alliance partners.
Visitors at YCM Alliance’s technical centres can consult with experts, compare different technologies, run test cuts, conduct time analysis, and observe YCM’s machines and technology up close. YCM’s technology centres are built for manufacturing, but they also include meeting rooms for discussing processes, business considerations, and YCM’s own financing possibilities.
“The YCM Alliance Technical Centres are an important part of demonstrating who we are to customers.” “The YCM Alliance programme was created to provide extraordinary value to manufacturers looking for solutions beyond a single machine type,” explains Tony Pekalski, president of YCM Technology USA Inc.
The grand opening was marked by a two-day event attended by approximately 300 OEM and job shop customers, dealers, and industry vendors, according to YCM. High-performance vertical milling, multi-axis, double column, gantry-type portal, high speed (steel/graphite), horizontal, sinker EDM, wire cut EDM, die/mold spotting presses, turning solutions, and automation were among the machine-type demonstrations.
The YCM Alliance programme brings together machine tool companies, dealers, and solution experts to provide application-based systems that assist customers enhance processes, quality, and overall machining efficiency. Partners follow standardised assessment processes to better understand each customer’s specific requirements, difficulties, and ambitions. The end result is a comprehensive recommendation that takes process, machine kinds, configuration, custom layout, finance, cost justification, and ROI into account. To ensure consistent performance and reliability, service and support levels are assured across all YCM Alliance brands, systems, and components.
