RÖHM and ATS Systems have partnered for the North American machining market. "We have created a single source that offers an extensive workholding and machining accessory selection, application expertise and local sales and service support," said a company spokesperson.
RÖHM, a global provider of workholding and gripping technology, was founded in 1909 in Germany. "The company's extensive product offerings range from tiny drill chucks and efficient tool clamping equipment to manual gripping technology and high-tech power clamping tools for workpiece diameters as big as 18 feet," said the spokesperson.
ATS is a North American provider of workholding, automation and machining accessories with regionally located sales and service personnel. The partnership unites the products, staff resources and business efforts of the two companies.
According to the spokesperson, ATS' full-time sales and service staff will provide support for RÖHM's power workholding products, including chucks, cylinders, steadyrests, mandrels, tool clamping systems and robot grippers. ATS will continue its offering of products such as collet chucks, quick-change chucks, air chucks, rotary tables, barfeeds and the CoolJet high-pressure coolant line.
"RÖHM retains its strong product brand identity as well as its invoicing, inventorying and product management responsibilities," said the spokesperson. "RÖHM's technical staff will reinforce ATS' efforts with relevant product support and custom solutions for specialized applications."
The partnership will launch with the start of a countrywide tour of "Driving Innovation - A Mobile Technology Center," a demonstration showroom housed in a 53-foot tractor-trailer and focused on workholding, automation and machine tool accessories. The tour will showcase new technologies from RÖHM, ATS and other providers geared toward particular industry sectors and applications, such as oil and gas, automotive and aerospace. "There will be product presentations, training sessions and live demonstration," said the spokesperson. "Specialists from both companies will be on hand to answer questions about products and the new single-source model."
The tour's first stop will be at the MFG Meeting - Manufacturing for Growth - in Orlando, FL. The event will take place March 4-7 and be co-hosted by the Association for Manufacturing Technology (AMT) and the National Tooling and Machining Association (NTMA). From there, the tour will travel to multiple destinations and manufacturing events within the continental United States. For more tour information, visit www.rohm-ats.com.
