Company Developments and Vision for 2024
Schaumburg, IL [February 2024] — In a dynamic progression through recent years, Acu-Rite Solutions, a leader in DRO (Digital Readouts), CNC, encoders and accessories has consistently advanced despite global changes, reinforcing its commitment to machinists nationwide. Starting in 2019, Acu-Rite Solutions embarked on a significant transformation by relocating its manufacturing facilities from Jamestown, NY, to the larger, state-of-the-art facilities at the North American headquarters of parent company HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION in Schaumburg, IL. This move not only represents Acu-Rite Solutions dedication to the “Made in America” tradition but also strategically places the company in a centralized location. This benefits Acu-Rite Solutions with quicker access to industrial resources in the Chicagoland area, enhancing its operational efficiency in shipping and receiving, both domestically and internationally. Further emphasizing its commitment to education and customer support, Acu-Rite Solutions opened the Acu-Rite Solutions Technology Education Center (ATEC) in 2021. ATEC stands as a pillar of innovation, offering North American customers and prospects a unique opportunity to directly engage with Acu-Rite Solutions extensive range of machine tool components. This facility provides an environment where expert trainers can demonstrate the application of Acu-Rite Solutions controls, digital readouts, encoders, and accessories on various machine tools. By appointment, customers can experience Acu-Rite Solutions latest products, including the MILLPWRG2 control system for knee mill and bed mill applications and the TURNPWR control for lathe applications, in a fully functional setting.

This initiative is designed to bring the latest in precision metalworking technology to students across the country. By partnering with local distributors, Acu-Rite Solutions is able to offer its advanced MILLPWRG2 CNC controllers and comprehensive DRO packages at significantly reduced prices to schools with precision metalworking and vocational programs. This effort not only equips educators with the tools necessary to provide in-depth instruction on turning and milling machine cycles, probing functions, and conversational CNC programming, but also highlights Acu-Rite Solutions commitment to fostering the next generation of machining professionals.
