Enhancing Machining Centers: Pilot Precision Products and Global CNC Join Forces

Pilot Precision Products (Pilot), renowned for manufacturing cutting tools and supplying duMONT CNC motorized slotters, is entering a strategic collaboration with Global CNC, a prominent manufacturer of static and driven tool holders. Together, they aim to offer innovative solutions facilitating efficient and stable broaching on vertical and horizontal machining centers from industry leaders like Okuma, Mazak, DMG Mori, and others.

This partnership leverages Pilot’s extensive broaching expertise alongside Global CNC’s profound knowledge of machine tool interfaces. The objective is to empower customers utilizing motorized slotters to enhance the versatility of their machining centers, consequently boosting productivity.

In a recent case study (refer to attached photos), a joint effort resulted in the development of a right-angle head for an Okuma 2SP2500 machine. The challenge was to ensure clearance from the spindles for efficient, precise, and stable broaching. While others faltered, Pilot and Global CNC succeeded.

Customers investing in a new machine have the option to acquire a duMONT CNC slotter from either Pilot Precision Products or Global CNC. Furthermore, when purchasing a duMONT CNC slotter from Global CNC, customers receive a tooling certificate associated with the slotter, redeemable through Pilot at any time.

Eric Hagopian, CEO of Pilot, expresses pride in the collaboration, stating, “We are honored that Global CNC, an innovative company with a longstanding history of success, has chosen to partner with us to expand the application of our motorized slotters, seamlessly integrating with Global CNC’s top-tier live tooling for slotting.” He highlights the capabilities of their slotters, emphasizing their ability to handle various profiles in significantly shorter cycle times while streamlining operations and eliminating the need for secondary broaching.

Anthony Davis, Co-Vice President of Global CNC, echoes this sentiment, stating, “Pilot’s quality sets the standard for excellence.” He emphasizes the meticulous testing conducted, affirming that Pilot’s duMONT CNC Motorized Slotters perfectly complement their tool holders. Davis emphasizes the combined strengths of Global CNC and Pilot, foreseeing an enhanced customer experience unparalleled in the market.
