IBARMIA at IMTS 2024

From September 9-14, 2024, IBARMIA participated in the prestigious IMTS 2024 exhibition in Chicago, joining forces with our strategic partner, Select Machine Tools, at their booth. Since April 2024, Select Machine Tools has been IBARMIA’s exclusive dealer in the USA, and this was our first joint appearance at IMTS, showcasing our groundbreaking CNC machining solutions to the American market.

IBARMIA THC12: Stealing the Spotlight at IMTS

At the center of our exhibit was the IBARMIA THC12 5-Axis Universal Machining Center, a multitasking marvel that captivated IMTS attendees with its advanced capabilities for handling complex machining tasks. The machine’s features include:

- Twin 1-meter (39.37”) diameter pallets for uninterrupted machining cycles.

- 112 HP, 12,000 RPM spindle with HSK-100 for powerful performance.

- Generous X, Y, Z travels: 47.24” x 51.18” x 39.37”.

- 49.21” swing for turning operations.

At the booth, we demonstrated how the THC12 can machine spindle cases for our own ZVH machines, emphasizing our in-house ability to manufacture with precision and efficiency. This feature was a highlight for visitors, underscoring the versatility and power of IBARMIA technology.

“The response to the IBARMIA THC12 was overwhelmingly positive,” said Diego Peña, Sales Manager. “We were able to showcase how our technology can transform manufacturing processes, and we’re looking forward to strengthening our relationships in the US market.”
