Absolute Machine Tools Earns Diamond Partner Status from Mitsubishi
Electric Automation
Absolute Machine Tools, Inc., has recently earned the title of Diamond Partner Systems Integrator from Mit- subishi Electric Automation, Inc., an affiliate of the global manufacturer Mitsubishi Electric that focuses on production solutions.
The Diamond Partnership program is so named for its strength and its multi-faceted approach to automation relationships. These four facets are the customer, the Diamond Partner, Mitsubishi Electric Automation, and Mitsubishi Electric. As a Diamond Partner Systems Integrator, Absolute will have access to a comprehensive software portal to stay up to date on demonstrations and proof-of-concepts; a Systems Integrator Locator to show- case Absolute directly to customers; a hardware demonstration system; a complete software suite for PLC, mo- tion, HMI, VFD, and robot with au- tomatic updates; and a strong support team for product training and technical resources.
Jason Jones, FESG manager of Au- tomotive & Central US at Mitsubishi
Electric Automation conducted the interview that confirmed Absolute’s eligibility for Diamond Partner status.
Absolute Machine Tools director of marketing and A+ Automation Team Courtney Ortner said, “Our ongoing contribution to Mitsubishi projects as well as our current and past automa- tion projects were part of our quali- fications.” Absolute was the only US distributor to partner with Mitsubishi Electric Automation to create and build the LoadMate Plus, a machine tending robotic cell designed to add automation to CNC applications.
Ortner created the A+ Automation Team in response to the growing need for automation and to help manufactur- ers find the best solutions to meet their production requirements.
