Hybrid machining is setting new standards in grinding technology. At Grinding Hub 2026 in Stuttgart, manufacturers such as Vollmer, Studer and Liebherr will showcase how combining grinding, erosion and laser processes boosts precision, reduces downtime and can deliver productivity gains of up to 70 percent.

With its support of the Grinder of the Year 2026 competition at Grinding Hub in Stuttgart, filtration specialist Vomat is joining forces with leading technology partners to promote young talent in tool grinding.

With the launch of Fortis mill grinding wheels, Weiler Abrasives is targeting higher efficiency in hot and cold rolling mills. The new wheels combine advanced ceramic grain technology with extended service life to reduce changeovers, stabilise grinding processes and lower operating costs in steel and aluminium production.

Grinding Hub 2026 will spotlight how artificial intelligence, sensor technology and closed-loop automation are redefining precision grinding. From unmanned “grind-measure-grind” production to smart process control and new applications such as humanoid robot components, the Stuttgart show promises a clear view of grinding’s shift toward self-optimising, data-driven manufacturing systems.

Elastic bonded diamond grinding wheels combine extreme hardness with flexible bonding to enable ultra-fine, contour-preserving surfaces. At Grinding Hub 2026, experts from industry and research will show how these smart finishing tools are pushing the limits of precision machining, efficiency and surface quality.

With 360 exhibitors already confirmed, preparations for Grinding Hub 2026 are gaining momentum. Despite a weak economy, rising international orders and strong industry commitment underline the event’s growing importance as a central platform for grinding technology.

Data-based cooling lubricant monitoring makes grinding more stable and efficient: sensor data on emulsion health, grinding forces and spindle power enables requirement-based fluid supply, supports digital twins and can cut energy use by up to 27 percent. At Grindinghub 2026 in Stuttgart, visitors will learn how Umati and OPC UA connectivity helps integrate these data streams for higher surface quality and fewer rejects.

Clean cooling lubricants unlock surprising productivity gains: Vomat shows how ultra-fine microfiltration and precise temperature control turn sustainability in tool grinding into measurable performance.

Cooling lubricant microfiltration is becoming a decisive performance factor in modern metalworking. Vomat’s modular full-flow systems show how ultra-fine filtration, demand-based backwashing and precise temperature control can stabilise grinding processes, extend tool life and reduce scrap.

With Inserts Pro, Anca introduces a powerful all-in-one solution that streamlines insert grinding, cuts production costs and boosts productivity across automotive, aerospace and medical applications.
