Founded over 50 years ago under the name USACH Technologies by an American engineer with Swiss roots, the company has specialized from the very beginning in manufacturing grinding machines based on extensive customer input—offering a portfolio ranging from stand-alone machine solutions to multi-machine production cells with turnkey automation.
Today, the brand USACH focuses on developing customized grinding machines for particularly difficult-to-machine materials such as ceramics, silicon, and silicon carbide. These precision solutions are built on various platforms that offer multi-axis interpolation, the combination of internal, external, contour, and form grinding, as well as integrated drilling and threading functions with multiple spindles and tool changers. Integrated measurement systems for contour and size control, along with X-ray-guided part orientation, are just some of the advanced technologies included.
From fuel injection components with submicron tolerances to large gearbox components, from semiconductor boules to etching chamber parts, from rocket guidance systems to aerospace engine components, and even from professional lawnmower blades for PGA golf courses to pump components—USACH machines tackle any challenge in terms of workpiece geometry or material properties.
USACH grinding machines are also equipped with powerful software solutions that optimize the grinding process, increase efficiency, and enable maximum precision. With features such as adaptive process control, real-time monitoring, and automated tool adjustments, these intelligent software systems ensure exceptional performance and reliability for even the most complex applications.
As part of the Kellenberger Technology Group, the brand USACH benefits from the innovative strength that also extends to the brands KELLENBERGER, VOUMARD, HAUSER, TSCHUDIN, and SUPER PRECISION. This ensures continuous technological advancement, driving each of these brands forward in their core competencies and maintaining their market leadership in their respective fields.
