ommitted to Excellence. You see these words everywhere on the Hydromat campus. Emblazoned on the wall in the assembly area, on letterhead, in our sales literature…it’s everywhere. But it’s not something we take for granted or take lightly. Striving to do the job right the first time is at the very core of everything we do at Hydromat. From the way we answer the phone, to the engineer’s drawing, to the welder’s arc, to a meeting with the president of the company…everyone pulls together for a common goal. That common goal is to maintain our position as the world’s finest manufacturer of...

The Hydromat Principle Hydromat integrates simplicity, modularity, flexibility, and efficiency into turnkey machining solutions. The results are superior productivity, measurable consistency, exceptional quality, and uncompromising reliability.

Hydromat’s Flagship Machine Series ydromat’s objective was to develop a full CNC technology to meet lean manufacturing objectives with outstanding productivity. With these requirements in mind, a team of Hydromat design engineers developed a line of machines that provide full CNC capabilities for short or long production runs. Now each station has its own control system integrated into each tool spindle unit resulting in a plug & play control architecture. The by-products of this technology are substantially lower re-tooling costs and superior flexibility, with changeover times that are...

The ICON Principle ICON Technologies designs the ultimate in productivity and flexibility combining the most advanced Mill/Turn centers with multistation transfer productivity. These versatile systems are engineered for maximum production output in a small footprint.

ydromat’s never ending drive for innovation led to the formation of the ICON Technologies division to engineer and produce unique “Productivity Centers” for the precision metal cutting marketplace. The ICON Mill/Turn machining centers combine space-saving design with unparalleled flexibility to create a highly innovative solution to produce parts complete, in one chucking, with fast cycle times and unsurpassed relational tolerances. Since it’s inception, ICON Technologies has introduced a number of machines to the line-up; the ICON 6-250, the ICON 6-150, the ICON 8-150, and the innovative...

The heart of every EPIC or ICON machine is not cast iron and tool steel. It’s not hydraulics or state-of-the-art CNC controls. At the heart of every machine is Hydromat’s people. Engineers, Technicians, Administrators, Apprentices, Welders, Shipping & Receiving… everyone with a job to do to ensure that every Hydromat machine will function beyond the expectations of the customer.

Unsurpassed Quality ristotle once said “Quality is not an act. It is a habit.” We live by these words at Hydromat and use the principles of 5S and Lean Manufacturing as our primary vehicle to make quality a habit. Since we were first certified in 1997, ISO 9001:2008 continues to serve as our standard of operation. It is, however, lean manufacturing’s process driven approach to continuous improvement and 5S’s emphasis on cleanliness, order, and front line ideas that differentiate us from other machine tool builders. With 35 years of success at Hydromat, quality is not simply the act of...
