CHICAGO, IL. - The 2022 IMTS show was truly a great success for our team at Masa Tool! It was great to be back in Chicago and seeing our supply chain partners, customers and media in -person again!

Our CEO and chief executive innovator,  Matt Saccomanno held a seminar entitled "​Boosting Profits from Swiss-type Machines by Better Use of the Sub-Spindle."  It was a presentation "of new and advanced techniques for gaining productivity from Swiss-type CNC machines, with an emphasis on maximizing utilization of the machine’s counter-spindle (“sub-spindle”)."  Well, that's quite a mouthful!  Matt explained that essentially the sub-spindle is rarely used at more than 20% efficiency, which is a huge waste of productive capacity! "You've got a fully capable machine within a machine that you're not maximizing the use of!"

Chip Prescott and David Atkinson manned our booth with the help of many of our great manufacturers agents.  It was terrific that our reps brought so many of our customers over so we could finally meet them in person! 

GIE Media, Inc. who publish Today's Medical Developments, Aerospace Manufacturing and Design and Today’s eMobility spent some time in our booth getting a video overview of our products one day. A really special thank you to Lori Beckham, the editor of Today's Medical Developments and Austin DiPaolo for stopping by to say hello.  Lori, in conjunction with Bernie Martin, wrote the "Improving small medical part manufacturing" article that appeared last May in Today's Medical Developments. 

The next day the Lori Beckman, the editor of Production Magazine stopped by with our friend Rachel Wallis and then brought a video crew by to do an interview and overview.  Lori wrote the an article "Swiss Shop’s Choice of Collets Facilitates Backworking" this past June. Production magazine is owned by Gardner Publications and we will be at their PMTS show next April. So if you didn't;t make it to IMTS get us on your calendar for the spring of 2023!

We're looking forward to seeinghow the videos turned out because we wanted to answer some of the commonly asked questions that we get when talking to Swiss machinists.  

We shared our booth with the guys from Swiss tooling producer, Dunner They are one of our best European distributors and they where featuring their DunnAir self adjusting high precision guide bushing.  

At the end of the show, everyone was exhausted but really super excited to meet some many of our customers.  Thanks so much for visiting us at the IMTS 2022. Our next show is in April at PMTS.  If you missed us in Chicago, be sure and meet us in Cleveland!
