As early as 1995, the founders of SMS Maschinenbau GmbH recognized the far-reaching trend for the implementation of control technology for machine tools.

The company was one of the first to equip existing (mechanical) thread grinding machines with cutting-edge CNC technology at attractive prices. The basic machines – principally those manufactured by Reishauer and Klingelnberg–were reconditioned and CNC-modernized. Today, the company has a further focus on development and manufacturing its own thread grinding machines.

The product spectrum of SMS ranges from highly flexible all-purpose thread grinding machines all the way to fully automated special-purpose thread grinding machines for use in mass production.

The product range includes relief measurement machines, profiling machines as well as relieving lathes.
