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 hosts a field trip by Krause Elementary School
Posted about Ariana's HammoGlow

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!

Starting the build process of Hammoglow!

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!

First meetings with Ariana for Hammoglow!
Posted about Ariana's HammoGlow

TARUS met with Ariana and her teacher for her idea of Hammoglow, a swing-powered generator that can light up lights or charge a phone when swinging.  

We discussed her initial idea, what inspired her to come up with the idea, and our plans to make the product. She told us the colors she wanted, the specifics of the swing, how it would work and its design and features.

Stay tuned for the next phase where TARUS and Ariana work on the construction of this exciting idea!
