Nidec Machine Tool America (NMTA) will exhibit its latest gear manufacturing and inspection technologies at IMTS 2026 September 14-19 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.
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.
ZFA260 gear grinder: 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.
MSS300 Super Skiving machine: 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.
“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.”
