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.

From electrode production to sinker and wire EDM, Meusburger supports mould and die makers with a comprehensive, immediately available portfolio for the highest precision requirements. High-quality materials, precisely matched clamping and holder systems, and an intuitive configurator ensure reliable processes, excellent surface quality and maximum efficiency throughout every EDM application.

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.

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.

To make plastic production more efficient and sustainable, Fraunhofer IST has developed thin-film sensors that monitor pressure and temperature directly in the mould. Combined with machine learning, the system enables real-time quality control and process optimisation.

With the new M-800/60-20B, Fanuc introduces a high-precision robot for demanding tasks such as cutting, welding, milling, and drilling. Thanks to advanced path accuracy, enhanced rigidity, and the new R-50iA controller, the robot offers a cost-efficient alternative to CNC machines — even in complex applications like gigacasting.

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.

Fraunhofer ILT and MacLean-Fogg have manufactured a complex die-casting tool inlay for large aluminium parts using laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB/M). This was made possible by the special steel L-40.

Cutting tool manufacturer Tungaloy has expanded its Addmultiturn turning tool series to include internal coolant holders compatible with PSC interfaces in sizes C4, C5, and C6. The additions aim to improve tool life and machining stability in multi-directional turning operations.
