HEIDENHAIN is helping to develop the next generation of manufacturing professionals.
"STEM opens up a world of possibilities for your students," said a company spokesperson. "We want to help develop the next generation of manufacturing professionals in the field of motion control and the students interested in the precision metalworking field by offering the latest and best technology available today. ACU-RITE digital readouts and easy-to-use CNC controls have been made in the USA for more than 40 years and have long been the first choice of machine tool/metalworking instructors across the country. Our forte is turning your used or new manual milling machines, lathes, grinders and EDM machines into a productive tool that is ideal for preparing your students for their future in the manufacturing industry."
HEIDENHAIN recently added the droPWR iOS app to the readout line. droPWR turns an iPad into a digital readout, taking machine tool experience to the next level (iPad not included).
Also new to the line is the Bridge Adaptor Kit, which bridges the gap between ACU-RITE and HEIDENHAIN controls.
"Education of our young adults is very important to ACU-RITE as well as the parent company, HEIDENHAIN," said the spokesperson. This is why we are prepared to offer high-discount incentives to all technical schools across the country. Discounts start at 25%, including special hands-on training incentives."
