Skills:TARUS has deep engineering capabilities because every machine we make is unique and different. We build everything in-house from scratch (called vertical integration) so our engineering covers every step of designing, manufacturing, and assembling our machines.
Since 1969, TARUS has been a world leader that builds custom machines for heavy industry. Starting out of a garage, TARUS pioneered many important developments in the machine tool business including key innovations in Gundrilling machines, we invented the Claymill, and we developed a Graphical User Interface 2 years before Apple in the early 1980s. We are vertically integrated, meaning we build everything from scratch in-house for our machines.

TARUS presents final work on the HammoGlow idea by Ariana from Krause Elementary School of Armada School District. The MISD Little Inventors Event was held at Macomb Community College.
TARUS and Ariana worked on the idea called "HammoGlow" for months. It's a combination swing and hammock that generates electricity as the swing moves. The electricity generated lights up lights on the swing and can charge batteries for mobile phones.
The final reveal came at the Macomb CC event with a full-sized HammoGlow as well as a 3D printed version.
Ariana was joined by her parents and Kellee Witgen, Science & Engineering teacher from Krause Elementary. Also in attendance were the other chosen projects from the MISD Little Inventors Challenge. The event was packed with students, family and teachers to standing-room-only capacity.
We were delighted to host Krause Elementary School to showcase the construction of Ariana's idea for HammoGlow! Ariana's parents also joined us for the field trip.
We showed various areas of our operations, from engineering design in CAD (Computer Aided Design), machining, waterjet (which cuts sheet metal into parts using a very high-pressure stream of water), fabrication, paint and more.
The students were given an overview of TARUS and given gift bags as a thank you for their visit. We hope the students gained a better understanding of how a project like HammoGlow is created from an idea, designed, manufactured, and assembled. Thank you for coming!
TARUS is in the first stage of creating Ariana's HammoGlow idea! We are welding a bracket and machining a foot pad. More to come!
