Advanced Machine & Engineering

AME has been developing and producing machine tool components and metal cutting machines for over 50 In 1999, AME acquired Hennig, Inc.

Advanced Machine & Engineering® (AME) was founded in 1966 out of Rockford, Illinois by Willy Goellner. AME offered design, engineering, and consulting to industries including machine tool, assembly, and packaging. A number of in-house product lines and services, as well as a number of strategic partnerships were developed alongside steady company growth over the next thirty years. (USA), expanding

AME’s capabilities even further. History has shown the effects of a manufacturing industry in decline. A lack of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) skills among workers has created a shortage of skilled and knowledgeable workers required to run a successful manufacturing facility. We are not immune to these challenges. Our mission is to support the American manufacturing industry by providing the necessary resources, training, and support through services like our robust apprenticeship and community outreach programs. When you work with AME, you’re joining the movement for American manufacturing, strengthening local and national economies while creating careers and building futures for the individuals that make our industry possible.

Check out our new DVF 5000 with the Hennig WorkFlow system!

A few things that really stand out on this setup:

• 40 pallet locations for true lights-out production

• Compact footprint with serious pallet capacity

• 300mm cube work envelope on each pallet

• 125 lb pallet weight capacity

• Integrated automation designed to work with a wide range of machine tool brands and controls

• A strong fit for high-mix work, repeat production, overnight runs, and both low- and higher-volume jobs

• Frees up operators from constant part swapping so they can focus on higher-value work

This is exactly where pallet automation makes sense: more spindle uptime, less manual handling, and a better use of your team’s time.

Preventative maintenance in machining is about more than avoiding downtime. It protects the precision, productivity, and profitability of your entire operation.

One critical area that is often overlooked is spindle pull-force verification. As drawbar systems wear over time, clamping force can drop, creating issues such as:

• Poor surface finish
• Increased tool wear
• Spindle taper fretting
• Unexpected downtime
• Reduced machining accuracy

Regular pull-force testing helps identify spindle clamping issues before they turn into costly failures.

We support manufacturers across North America with solutions like the POWER-CHECK 2.
