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.

At Grinding Hub 2026, Walter Maschinenbau will focus on the future of tool production with automated manufacturing, new laser and measuring technology, and several innovations still under wraps.

Automation company Güdel adds two additional degrees of freedom to heavy-duty robotic grinding applications through its Trackmotion Vertical (TMV) and Trackmotion Floor (TMF) systems. This allows a single robot to maintain consistent contact pressure and path speed across massive surfaces that would otherwise require multiple robots or complex part repositioning.

From aerospace components to steel mill rolls, Weiler Abrasives will present precision grinding solutions for high-demand industries at Grindinghub 2026. At its Stuttgart exhibit, the company will spotlight application-specific abrasive technologies aimed at improving throughput and process consistency.

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.

Grindinghub 2026 has underlined its role as a key international meeting place for grinding technology. With around 11,000 visitors, 462 exhibitors and strong interest in investment, the Stuttgart trade fair highlighted practical solutions, digital applications and the next step for the format: Grindinghub Americas 2027.

With rising cost pressure in tool manufacturing, Anca is positioning productivity as a measurable service. Its new Performance+ programme combines expert process analysis, software optimisation, selected upgrades and training, with the company guaranteeing at least a 10 percent reduction in grinding cycle times when its recommendations are implemented.

At Grinding Hub 2026 in Stuttgart, filtration specialist Vomat from Treuen will present high-performance solutions for ultra-fine filtration and the intelligent management of cooling lubricants (CL) in Hall 7, Booth 7D80.

At EMO 2025, Kellenberger takes a bold step beyond grinding. Under its unified brand, the Swiss precision specialist is introducing the new TM300 – a multifunctional turning, milling, and grinding machine, alongside expanded solutions in its core grinding portfolio.

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.
