Edge Technologies empowers customers to achieve the greatest efficiency from their CNC lathes while ensuring precision and machining accuracy. Not only do they carry a two-tier product line for bar feeders, they design and build customized solutions, as well as provide mist & coolant filters, collets, and other parts, including for older machines – all to ensure a satisfactory experience. It’s no surprise they are considered the complete source for bar feeding automation solutions! Headquartered in St. Louis, Edge provides support across the North American territory, responding to all customers within 24 hours or less. With 35+ years of experience, an average employee tenure of 13.5 years, and more than 19,000 successful installations, Edge is unmatched when it comes to industry knowledge and expertise in magazine bar feeding.
As a member of Partners in Technology, Edge meets Okuma customers where they are, then identifies the product of best fit, refines the requirements to meet needs precisely, delivers and installs the order, and provides cradle-to-grave technical support and service. Edge exclusively developed an Ethernet interface into Okuma’s OSP control that allows for pushing and pulling data, so that changes made at the lathe control are updated in the Edge bar feeder HMI instantly, and customers can do batch processing.
