JH: Compared to laser machines from our competitors, we want to score points not only with high productivity and a good price/performance ratio, but also with our holistic approach as a full-line supplier. The laser is a useful addition to our grinding and erosion machines. We have applied all our experience from precision engineering to the VLaser 270. As with the VGrind family, the VLaser 270 is characterized by innovative kinematics which, based on the C-axis arrangement, always keeps the tool in focus in order to machine a cutting edge with high precision and stability with as little movement as possible. The VLaser 270 is also the first laser machine on the market with an optional counter-point.

For anyone who knows the Peshtigo business that was born out of a 1,700 square foot Quonset hut in the late 70's, the rate of expansion and investment comes as no surprise. Founded by the current owner and 'Head Coach' Russ Martin, the journey has seen GLCT evolve from a small saw sharpening business to a custom tooling manufacturer and far beyond. With more than 80 staff, 50+ CNC machine tools, a multitude of manual machines and inspection and measuring technology, one brand that has lasted the distance is VOLLMER. As Vice President, co-owner, and son of 'Head Coach', Ray Martin explains: "We bought our first VOLLMER machine back in 1979 when we first started and this was followed by a VOLLMER CHC22H saw grinder for face and top grinding in 1982. We then bought a manual side grinding machine in 1985 and this machine is still in service today for some of our repair work!"

"Through the late 80s and early 90s we hadn't bought any VOLLMER machines, in honesty, the service wasn't there at that period - but 'Wow' has that changed! We put our faith in VOLLMER in 1999, as we didn't have anywhere else to turn from a technology standpoint - their machines were streets ahead of anything else in the industry. The technology was matched by the service and since the turn of the century we have added two CHD 270 machines, a DES 300, a CHF 270 and CHF 840, a CHC 840 and even the ND 250 robotic loading system." With average saw blade order quantities ranging from 4 to 6-off and even up to 20 & 50, the VOLLMER TCT machines are producing a substantial quantity of new saw blades every week; with an additional large quantity of saw service, re-grind and repair volumes passing through the company as well.

Back in the early 2000s, the woodworking market was evolving in terms of material and tool technology, as Ray recalls: "Our customer base for PCD tools grew at a slow and steady pace for a number of years, but it was certainly the QWD750 that changed the game for us. We added a second VOLLMER wire erosion machine, the QWD755, in 2004. By 2009, the move into the metalworking industry and the growing demand in the woodworking sector had increased our PCD tooling business by 6 times." The productivity of the two VOLLMER QWD wire erosion machines carried the capacity of increased business until 2014, at which point GLCT installed a 6-axis QXD 250 disc erosion machine. [...] Concluding on the relationship with VOLLMER, Ray says: "Whether it's circular saws, TCT or PCD saws, solid carbide or PCD tipped tools from rod, VOLLMER has it covered. We wouldn't even think of looking anywhere else - and we wouldn't need to."
