NIDEC MACHINE TOOL AMERICA to Showcase Advanced Gear Manufacturing and Inspection Technologies at IMTS 2026

August 5, 2026 by

Wixom, MI – 5 AUG 2026 – NIDEC MACHINE TOOL AMERICA (NMTA) will exhibit its latest gear manufacturing and inspection technologies at IMTS 2026, taking place September 14-19 at McCormick Place in Chicago. Located in the North Building, Level 3, at Booth #237054, NMTA will demonstrate the newly released RoboCam inspection solution alongside the ZFA260 gear grinder and MSS300 Super Skiving machine.

Automated Tool Inspection with RoboCam


Making its first public appearance at IMTS 2026, RoboCam is NMTA’s robotic camera solution for automated gear cutting tool inspection. Powered by artificial intelligence, the system evaluates cutting tool condition. RoboCam helps manufacturers improve efficiency while optimizing tooling performance and maintenance operations.

High-Speed, High-Precision Grinding with the ZFA260

Engineered for high-speed, high-precision machining, the ZFA260 handles gears with external diameters up to 260 mm. Its twin-table structure includes a high-speed rotary column that minimizes non-machining time, while simultaneous full form flank bias adjustment helps optimize tooth geometry. The machine is well suited for manufacturers producing high-volume automotive and robotic components where consistency and throughput are critical.

Internal and External Gear Cutting with the MSS300

Also featured at the booth, the MSS300 Super Skiving machine delivers high-performance machining for both internal and external gears. Its robust design enhances thermal and mechanical stability throughout the cutting process. Massive guideways on the three linear axes provide superior rigidity, and a twin-ball-screw drive on the Z-axis delivers consistent power and increased control. Nidec’s patented Super Skiving tools reduce chip loading, allowing for high-efficiency machining using Nidec-optimized skiving strategies.

The MSS300 accommodates workpieces with diameters up to 300 mm, a maximum gear width of 100 mm, and a maximum spindle speed of 5,000 rpm.

A Broader Portfolio of Advanced Manufacturing Solutions

“Our focus at IMTS is to show attendees how they can stay ahead of increasing production demands,” said Scott Knoy, VP of Sales, NMTA. “The equipment we’re bringing to Chicago addresses the specific bottlenecks our customers face, from automating inspection to accelerating the machining of complex gears.”

Beyond the equipment on the show floor, NMTA’s broader portfolio includes LAMDA laser powder directed energy deposition systems, ABLASER laser micromachining systems, and BOND MEISTER room-temperature wafer bonding machines. These technologies serve manufacturers in large-scale metal 3D printing, precision laser processing, and semiconductor production.

IMTS attendees are invited to visit Booth #237054 to meet with NMTA’s technical experts and learn more about solutions for gear production, tooling, inspection, and advanced manufacturing.
