Supertec Machinery will showcase the Mini Genie-2520 at IMTS 2026, highlighting a compact CNC cylindrical grinding solution designed for automated, high-precision small-part production. The machine on display will feature an integrated gantry loading system, demonstrating how manufacturers can improve efficiency, reduce manual handling, and support unattended operation in modern grinding environments.
Designed specifically for small-part machining, the Mini Genie-2520 combines precision performance with a compact footprint of less than 32 square feet, making it ideal for manufacturers seeking to maximize production while minimizing floor space requirements. Its Meehanite cast iron cross-slide structure provides excellent thermal stability, ensuring stable grinding accuracy even during temperature fluctuations. High-rigidity construction, a rigid box-type machine base, Renishaw linear scales on the X-axis, and a micro-taper adjustable tailstock further enhance grinding precision and repeatability.
A major focus of the Mini Genie-2520 is modular automation flexibility. The gantry loading system automatically loads and unloads workpieces without interrupting production, supporting continuous operation and reduced operator involvement. The system can handle multiple parts efficiently while maintaining consistent cycle times and dimensional accuracy. Because the automation platform is modular, manufacturers can operate the machine either with or without the loading system depending on production requirements.
Additional automation-ready options include a touch probe for automatic workpiece detection and alignment, along with an automatic gauging device that performs in-process measurement to maintain dimensional consistency and reduce manual inspection requirements. Combined with Supertec’s user-friendly iGrind conversational software, the Mini Genie-2520 delivers a flexible and efficient grinding solution for industries including automotive, aerospace, medical, tooling, and precision manufacturing.
At IMTS 2026, Supertec will demonstrate how the Mini Genie-2520 combines automation flexibility and precision grinding performance to support smarter, more efficient manufacturing.
