We're moving!
We are pleased to announce that we have acquired a new facility. We will be consolidating our three Waterloo locations under one roof. The move to Cambridge will provide us with some much needed space to grow as we adapt to the ever changing needs of our clientele. The transition is estimated to be complete some time this December. We hope you share in our excitement over this growth and any questions or concerns can be addressed by our team here.
Mastercam
Baumeier is pleased to announce it has changed over to Mastercam software. As an industry leader in CAD/CAM software Mastercam is the most widely used software in the world. This new software provides added strength in 5-axis and live-tooling programming to Baumeier.
ERMAK Hydraulic Press Brake
The Ermak CNC press brake is a new addition to the Baumeier catalogue. Synchronized hydraulic cylinders make the Ermak one of the best for precision repeatability performance. This 190 ton press brake takes our capabilities to a new level, allowing us to bend thicker gauge materials than in the past. Just another example of how Baumeier continues to grow to meet the needs of its clients! For more information of what Baumeier can do for you contact us.
High-speed Milling at Baumeier
HSM is well suited for aerospace and automotive applications. Parts previously manufactured by conventional milling, especially small parts being machined with tools of small diameters particularly benefit from HSM. HSM has the advantage of higher productivity, reduction of the number of operations, increased tool life, and an increase of surface finish quality.
To experience the benefits of HSM contact Baumeier today.

Baumeier Corporation Introduces Laser Welding Technology
Baumeier is pleased to announce the official launch of laser welding services at its facility. The new Trumpf TruLaser Station hit the floor this month and is now operational and has been introduced into regular production. The laser welder utilizes YAG laser technology to join multiple pieces of metal. This acquisition is a part of Baumeier's ongoing effort to introduce innovation to the manufacturing processes available to its clientele.
Laser welding uses a concentrated heat source and allows for narrow, deep welds, and high weld rates. Coupled with computer numerical control (CNC) the machine creates welds as accurate as the provided substrate, with excellent repeatability. Laser welding generates very high temperatures, which melt the material on a focal point of around 0.5 to 1 millimeters in diameter. Because of its narrow working area, the laser is particularly suitable for welding of thing gauge material. This technology opens new doors in design possibilities and the high rate of weld deposit makes it an economical choice for many applications.
Baumeier will be holding demonstrations of this technology for the benefit of its clientele. If you would like to book a demonstration or would just like further information please contact George Henry Jr.
CNC CMM Technology Comes to Baumeier
With the acquisition of a Wenzel Xorbit CNC CMM Baumeier continues to expand its capabilities to meet the needs of its clientele.
The machine is an automated gantry-style CMM with a measurable area of 1000mm x 900mm x 700mm. This new equipment will allow Baumeier to provide more in depth inspection reports for its clients as well as offer automated inspection protocols.
Further information pertaining to the CMM can be obtained by contacting George Henry Jr.
