The company
Studer is the UNITED GRINDING Group’s cylindrical specialist. The line runs from universal machines for toolroom and high-mix work to production cylindrical grinders for automotive and bearing plants. In North America there is no separate Studer company — UNITED GRINDING North America (Miamisburg, OH) is the sales, applications and service organization behind the name.
What they build
US presence & contact route
New machines, parts and service route through UNITED GRINDING North America in Miamisburg, OH. If you are evaluating a Studer against other cylindrical builders, the comparison that matters is your part, your tolerance and your cycle — the applications conversation starts there.
What buyers ask
- Which control is on the machine I’m looking at, and what does that generation mean for support and programming help?
- Universal or dedicated production machine — where does my part mix land?
- What does the US parts picture look like for this model, specifically?
- Can the machine run my parts before I buy — a test grind on my drawings?
The used market, plainly
The used market is one of the deepest in grinding: S30, S40 and S33 machines trade constantly, and a rebuild trade exists around them. On any used Studer, the evaluation is the same three things — the control generation, the mechanical condition of the guideways and spindles, and what the US organization will still support on that serial number.
