Emerging Leader Phillip Judt Enjoys Training Customers to Problem Solve

Phillip Judt’s experience in the production turning industry began as a front-line machinist at a Swiss machine shop, eventually learning about CNC Swiss and CNC fixed headstock screw machines. Upon joining the team at Absolute Machine Tools, he has learned the ins and outs of even more CNC screw machines.

“Phillip has been instrumental in assisting companies to advance from cam-operated equipment to CNC screw machines,” says Courtney Ortner, Absolute Machine Tools’ chief marketing officer and Phillip’s nominator. “He demonstrates to customers the advantages and disadvantages of various modern methods of production machining.”

As applications engineer for the company, Phillip provides training for programming, setup and operation of sliding and fixed headstock, multi-axis, multi-slide equipment and CNC mill-turn centers for all of Absolute’s production turning customers.

“I am energized by problem solving and the implementation of new and innovative ideas to solve old issues, as well as training others to do the same,” Phillip says. “I intend to continue growing my knowledge base and remain on the cutting edge of CNC machining technology while helping others achieve success in the industry I love.”

“Phillip has proven to be an important asset to many companies moving forward with their production issues and ultimately advancing the production turning industry,” Ms. Ortner says.
