The new 10,280 sq. ft. Methods facility was established to support Northern California, Oregon and Washington. Located at 650 Whitney Street in San Leandro, the technology center features the latest machine tools and automation technology, and application experts are based on-site.

Live demonstrations of automation solutions will include a RoboDrill JobShop Cell with fully integrated robotic loading / unloading, small hole-drilling on a FANUC RoboDrill, aerospace part machining, KIWA machines that offer expandability in the field, EDM wire cutting and more.

The Grand Opening will also feature technical seminars each day. Seminar topics will include Automation Solutions for Machine Shops, Preventative Maintenance, Air Turbine Tools (for RoboDrills) by John Sizemore of Air Turbine Tools, Anodizing 101 by Joe Osborn of 2 Dye 4, Inc. and 5-Axis Inspection by Patrick Beauchemin of VISIONx. In addition, technical representatives will be on hand and visitors will be able to see the latest tooling, workholding, software and probing technology products being displayed by participating companies.

"Methods is committed to bringing the best machine tools, solutions and support to the West Coast market," said Fernando R. Garcia, General Manager, West Coast Operations, Methods Machine Tools, Inc. "We are proud to officially introduce our new facility in California and we are looking forward to having our customers and other manufacturing professionals attend the Grand Opening event."
