Rottler Manufacturing: The Unsung Hero of Combustion Engines (100 Years of Made In America)
What happens here
The tour concludes by showcasing the EM69 series machines, including the F69, EM69ATC, and EM69HP. The F69 targets the performance market, the EM69ATC is an enclosed version for power engine rebuilders, and the EM69HP is a 5-axis articulating head boring machine. The guide explains that while standard CNC machines use G-code (Mastercam or CAD/CAM software), Rottler developed proprietary software to simplify the process. This software allows engine builders, who might be accustomed to hand-porting, to digitize their race-winning ports directly on the machine and then replicate them with precision across multiple heads, significantly reducing complexity and increasing efficiency. This innovation made Rottler's product line unique.
