Innovative Machinery Group (IMG) announced today that the company will formally change its name to "Tsugami Automation" beginning February 1, 2017.
"Were rebranding the company to help manufacturers more easily understand what we do," IMG President Graham Noake explained. "When they hear 'Tsugami Automation they should immediately recognize that we are entirely focused on customizing and optimizing Tsugami machines."
The renamed organization is a sister company of Tsugami/Rem Sales, the exclusive North American importer of Precision Tsugami machine tools. Both companies are divisions of Morris Group, Inc., one of North Americas largest machine tool distributors. Tsugami Automation products are distributed through Tsugami/Rem Sales.
"Tsugami Automation has a uniquely wide range of experience and skillsets in custom tooling, integrated laser cutting and laser welding and the development of mechanical and robotic loading, marking, cleaning, measuring, and unloading systems for Tsugami machine tools," Noake said. "We are completely focused on expanding the capabilities of these machines and optimizing their performance."
Tsugami Automation and Tsugami/Rem Sales expect to launch their newest LaserSwiss, an SS207-5AX LaserSwiss with an integrated welding system, at the MD&M West show in Anaheim, CA in February. The 20 mm, seven-axis CNC machine integrates two SPI laser systems, one for cutting operations and a second one for welding.
"Its the first machine of its kind," Noake noted, "and we expect it to provide significant competitive advantages to manufacturers of small precision parts."
