Suhner Industrial Products Corp. (Rome, GA) has partnered with Velocity Products (Huntsville, AL) on the repair and maintenance of SU-matic tooling. Velocity is a premier distributor of tooling for Okuma, as well as innovative machine tools throughout North America. Velocity/SU-matic tooling is designed and manufactured by SU-matic, a worldwide leader in tooling technology that works closely with engineers from Okuma when designing new tools in a collaboration that ensures flawless tooling performance on lathes, multi-tasking machines and machine tools.
“I’m proud for this partnership we have formed with Suhner because it allows us to provide a timely and high quality service to Okuma,” stated Bob Bauer, the vice president of Velocity Products, which has experienced staff who can maintain tools at the highest standard required by OEM clients. For example, Walter Scheppe has over 30 years of experience in maintaining and repairing tools. He has fixed lathe tooling, angle heads, multi-spindle heads and specialty tooling.
The Velocity/SU-matic Preventive Maintenance Program uses Walter and his team’s experience to keep the SU-matic tools running smoothly. It offers 72-hour inspection turnaround, inspection of radial and axial play and a six-month guarantee on repairs. In addition, Velocity/SU-matic tooling is guaranteed for two years. At the end of the two years, tools can be sent to the Velocity/SU-matic repair center for inspection and, if needed, tools can be returned to original factory specifications. The repair center is in Suhner’s new location at 43 Anderson Road, Rome, GA 30161.
