    Machine Tool Division

    TIC specializes in five types of grinding machines; universal cylindrical grinders, CNC cylindrical, angular grinders, 5 axis CNC tool grinders and special purpose grinding machines. The TIC brand is particularly known for its manual & NC O.D. cylindrical grinders in the South Korean market with 60% in domestic market share. With the aid of in-process gauging systems from Marposs, it is specified that the cylindrical grinders can achieve an accuracy of 1 micron. It is broadly understood that the mechanism of the hydrodynamic spindle bearings, hydrostatic guideways in the X-axis and hand scraped guideways are the main attributes in accuracy of the cylindrical grinders. The company has recently made their debut of its manual & CNC cylindrical grinder under the brand name “TONGIL” during the EMO 2011 shows. It made its first presence in the European market in partnership with a German distributorship, Saeilo Germany.
