The grand prize machine will be selected from a select list of machines with the actual machine selection chosen to best support the winner’s business.
"All manufacturers face challenges, especially during difficult economic times. Shops struggle with reducing costs, increasing spindle utilization and improving quality. We feel Okuma, along with our Partners, offers the best control and machine tool technology and solutions available. We also realize that new machines might not be in the budgets at this time for some shops. So we’re offering them a way to make their case to get the best technology now," stated Larry Schwartz, President and COO of Okuma America Corporation. "We’re anxious to see how we can help these shops succeed."
In addition to prizes from Okuma, members of Partners in THINC are providing entry prizes and prizes for the weekly winners and the finalists. Participating sponsors include: Sandvik-Coromant, Iscar Metals, Inc., Renishaw, Schunk, Caron Engineering, Zoller, FANUC Robotics and Marposs.
