Methods Machine Tools Renews Strategic Partnership With Yasda

Methods Machine Tools, a supplier of high-precision CNC machine tools, automation and engineering services, has announced a new commercial agreement with Yasda Precision Tools K.K. that continues Methods’ role as the single importer, distributor and service provider of Yasda’s portfolio of precision machining centers in the United States.

The formal relationship between the two companies began in 2014, when Methods began importing Yasda’s lines of three- and five-axis machining centers, including the YBM vertical and horizontal series, YMC series and the PX30i and H40i precision centers.

“For nearly a decade, we have held the distinct privilege of offering Yasda’s world-class machines in the U.S., directly and through our dealer network,” says Dale Hedberg, COO at Methods. “The continuation of our partnership demonstrates the strength of our collaboration and focus on delivering Yasda’s unrivaled class of machines, backed by the highest-quality service and parts fulfillment.”

“Our machine designs and unique manufacturing processes provide the highest level of accuracy and stability to satisfy demand for the tightest precision across all industries. Additionally, with growing needs for automation, Methods’ engineering capabilities expand the possibilities customers can achieve when working with Yasda and Methods,” says Yasushi Kimura, president of Yasda Precision America Corporation.

Yasda precision centers, most commonly found in aerospace, micromilling and mold and die facilities, are reportedly capable of regularly achieving accuracies of 0.001 mm, and submicron accuracy in unique applications. Methods showcases Yasda machining centers at its location in Acton, Massachusetts.
