YOUR DISTRIBUTORS SUGGEST… AGILITY MACHINE TOOL, INC. BLAINE, MINNESOTA www.agilitymachine.com WHAT SHOULD ATTENDEES KEEP IN MIND? From Brian Holcomb’s perspective, “The technology that will get the most attention again this year is multi-axis, multi-function machines. Customers want to reduce labor in their shops. Any time manufacturers can drop a part complete after multiple operations, it makes them more competitive in our world marketplace.” FEATURED AT IMTS 2008: Chevalier Machinery | Booth B6736, A8286 CNC Systems | Booth A8779 – Kiwa – Honor – Vision Wide – Ares Seiki Hanwha Machinery America | Booth A8478 YCI, Inc. (YCM) | Booth A8531 Takamaz | Booth A8753 ALL TECH MACHINERY & SUPPLY MAPLE GROVE, MINNESOTA www.atms.us.com WHAT SHOULD ATTENDEES KEEP IN MIND? From Jeff Johnson’s perspective, “All Tech’s staff will be working the show at the booths listed. They have a turnkey expert on staff to assist you with your next project. The only difference between you and your competition will be your technology investment. The best technology does not cost, it pays! Hydrostatic-micro milling machines are beginning to change the machine tool industry. Digital camera tool pickup technology is not only more accurate, it simply can measure tools to .001" diameter!” FEATURED AT IMTS 2008: Yasda Precision | Booth A8551 Pinnacle Grade new 325 Micro Center. This hydrostatic machine has a 60,000 RPM spindle and is capable of a 10-nanometer movement along with the new technology camera tool pickup, and submicron accuracy with micro tools. YMB 950V not only is affordable, but it also has the lowest cost of operation. NTC | Booth A8161 Industrial grade machine tools. Over 60 percent of the Tier 1 automotive machining around the world is performed on NTC machinery. Features Z-micro milling machining, 10-nanometer movement, totally hydrostatic machine tool. Chmer EDM | Booth D4010 Amazing value with features previously only available on the most expensive machinery. DAVID OLSON SALES CO. MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA www.davidolsonsales.com WHAT SHOULD ATTENDEES KEEP IN MIND? From Clint and Curt Olson’s perspective, “Attendees should consider selecting equipment with an eye to recapturing business that has been outsourced internationally in the last several years. More and more of our customers are quoting projects that previously were produced outside the United States. Their customers, in turn, are seeing the renewed value of working with experienced and proven U.S. suppliers who can meet their needs with less problem and effort. Selecting new equipment that can speak to those customers’ requirements is going to be key to the future success of many shops.”

ELLISON TECHNOLOGIES PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA www.ellisontechnologies.com WHAT SHOULD ATTENDEES KEEP IN MIND? From Craig St. John’s perspective, “There are always lots of neat machine tools to see at IMTS, but probably the most practical and immediately applicable things one can find are innovative tooling and workholding solutions. Mori Seiki reserves at least 20 percent of their booth to highlight new cutting tool solutions that will aid any shop’s productivity.
