Faster, cleaner, smarter: New cutting tool solutions from Tungaloy, Horn and Seco deliver improved productivity, energy efficiency and machining versatility — from high-feed turning to groove milling and rough copy milling in demanding materials.

With a new R0.2 corner radius square head, Tungaloy Corporation extends its Tungmeister range to meet growing demand for very small corner radii. The solution combines solid end mill–level precision with the flexibility, efficiency and reduced setup times of an exchangeable-head system for precision parts and mould machining.

AI and smart assistance systems support workers on the shop floor — boosting efficiency while keeping people at the centre of production.

After a challenging 2024, Italy’s machine tool sector shows signs of recovery in early 2025, driven by strong domestic demand and renewed investment confidence under Transition 5.0, though global uncertainties continue to weigh on foreign orders.

CNC tool manufacturer Yamazaki Mazak will be showcasing a range of new machine and automation technologies at EMO in Hannover — including seven world and five European debuts.

With the introduction of Vericut, Gloucestershire Engineering Training is elevating CNC apprenticeship training to a new level. High-fidelity machine simulation, precise collision detection and industry-aligned workflows are helping learners build skills faster and graduate genuinely industry-ready.

With Ferrocon Quadro, Cemecon sets a new benchmark in heavy-duty machining: the world’s thickest PVD-based coating at up to 12 µm delivers longer tool life, smoother surfaces, and greater toughness — offering a premium alternative to conventional CVD coatings for demanding applications from rail maintenance to shipbuilding and energy.

Material volatility is reshaping tool strategies: in cast iron machining, advanced ceramics enable higher speeds, dry processing, and improved productivity, NTK states.

DMG Mori is set to showcase eight world premieres at EMO 2025 in Hannover, presenting a comprehensive range of high-tech machining centres, automation solutions and digital innovations under the motto ‘Manufacturing the Future’.

Designed for use in compact high-speed machining centres, Ott-Jakob’s new Power-Check Micro measures the clamping force in small spindle interfaces like HSK E15 to E20. The lightweight, battery-powered device supports preventative maintenance and helps ensure precision, tool stability, and process reliability.
