2003 was a milestone year for
Cincinnati Lamb as we brought together
unique talents, resources and support
networks from two of industry's best known
builders, Cincinnati Machine and Lamb
Technicon. Already sister companies under
the parent company UNOVA, Inc., the two
companies provided individual strengths that
when combined, enhanced our capabilities to
tailor manufacturing solutions for our
customers in key industries around the
world.
Our success has exceeded our
expectations and has positioned us far ahead
of our competition in providing the
comprehensive solutions you need to compete.
Cincinnati Machine
Founded in 1884, Cincinnati Machine
immediately established itself as a leader
in machine tools. As the company, then known
as Cincinnati Screw and Tap, grew and
diversified from its origins as a producer
of screws and taps, the name Cincinnati
became synonymous with superior milling
machines and grinders.
Adopting the name Cincinnati
Milling Machine Company in 1900, the company
continued a steady stream of growth with new
products such as a variety of broaching
machines, and profiling machines.
As the emerging aerospace
industry grew, so did the company.
Cincinnati Milling Machine was a pioneer in
NC technology and 5-axis machining.
Throughout the twentieth century, the
company diversified and eventually changed
its name to Cincinnati Milacron.
Dedicated to R&D and new product
development, the company partnered with OEMs
in key industries which lead to
breakthroughs in flexible manufacturing,
multi-spindle machining, flexible
manufacturing and automated composites
processing.
When joining the UNOVA team in
1998 it changed its name to Cincinnati
Machine and renewed its commitment to
metal-cutting and composites. Within the
last decade, the company has facilitated
growth in new technologies including linear
motors, friction stir welding, multi-task
machining, art-to-part software and smart
machining.
Lamb
Technicon
F.
Jos. Lamb Company was founded by electrical
engineer Francis Joseph Lamb in 1914 as a
manufacturer of electrical products. From
the 1920's to the 1950's Lamb became
recognized as a manufacturer of metal
components and dial index machines, with the
ability to retool dial machines manufactured
by other machine tool builders.
Lamb's first major contribution
to the automotive industry was a 1953
contract to rebuild sixty special grinders
and test machines, following a catastrophic
fire at GM's Hydra-Matic plant in Livonia,
Michigan.
1960 began a decade of major
growth. A plant in Windsor, Ontario was
established, and the company continued
remanufacturing activities, enabling them to
improve their own products by studying weak
points in competitive designs.
Growth continued through the
70's and 80's with the introduction of a new
generation of standard electro-mechanical
machine components that improved machine
tool performance and reliability. New
products and technologies were introduced in
the areas of material handling, machine
controls, and computer-based system
monitoring and troubleshooting.
In 1982 the company changed
its name to Lamb Technicon to become more
recognisable as a viable technological
resource within the industry. Lamb Technicon
became part of Litton Industries in 1987,
and Western Atlas in 1994. The company
acquired Gebruder Honsberg, Remsheid,
Germany, a supplier of CNC and special
machine tools, in 1995 to bolster an already
strong position in the world market for
flexible manufacturing systems. In 1998
Lamb's parent, UNOVA, was formed from
Western Atlas. Today, major engineering and
manufacturing locations include the US,
Canada, UK, and Germany.
