St. Charles, IL / Albstadt, Germany – October 1, 2025
SMS Precision Machine GmbH, a leading German manufacturer of advanced grinding technology, has expanded its proven Heligrind SH series with the compact SH60, designed specifically for machining smaller workpieces. First introduced at EMO 2023 in Hannover, the SH60 is now also available in the United States, Canada, and Mexico exclusively through Rey Technologies, Inc.
The Heligrind SH series provides manufacturers with a universal solution for profile and thread grinding applications. Its modular design allows for versatile configurations and ensures ultra-precise and highly productive machining. Depending on equipment, the SH machines are ideally suited for worms, screw spindles, extruder screws, thread rolling dies, gauges, taps, ball screws, gear-cutting tools, rotors, racks, and special gears.
The series is powered by SMS’s intuitive Helitouch Control Software, enabling fast programming and minimal setup times. Networking between systems allows for easy exchange of programs and settings, while dedicated profile software ensures accurate grinding of virtually all profile shapes.
In addition to single-process applications, the SH series supports combination machining — such as inside and outside grinding of ball screws, or worm and spline processing — along with options for in-process measurement and complete automation solutions.
Rey Technologies, Inc., headquartered in St. Charles, Illinois, is the exclusive distributor for SMS Precision Machine GmbH in North America. By offering the SH60 and SMS’s full portfolio of grinding solutions, Rey Technologies connects manufacturers with world-class German engineering supported by domestic expertise and service.
