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.

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.

Hypermill users can now access cutting tool data from Machining Cloud directly within the CAM environment. Thanks to a new integration by Open Mind Technologies, the collaboration simplifies tool selection and programming while enhancing efficiency and machining quality.

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.

Modern ultrafine filtration systems can significantly improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of tool grinding processes. Vomat’s intelligent filter solutions reduce operating costs, extend system availability, and enable a fast return on investment.

Together with its customers, Seco, part of Sandvik Group, is redefining how cutting tools can be managed and used, driving greater efficiency and sustainability throughout the product lifecycle.

Can CNC machine crashes be eliminated by 2030? Dr. Yavuz Murtezaoglu of Module Works believes it’s possible — with real-time simulation, industry-wide collaboration, and a common data standard. In this article, he shares the engineering journey behind the Collision Avoidance System (CAS), the challenges of job setup, and how the open MDES format could help turn this bold vision into reality.

High-speed, high-torque, and built for automation: With the new Makino a500iR, NCMT brings a versatile 5-axis horizontal machining centre to the UK and Ireland – offering advanced spindle options, efficient swarf management, and intelligent features for reliable unattended operation.

Even under intense heat and deformation, metals keep a hidden order. MIT scientists have identified a new non-equilibrium state in alloys that challenges long-held assumptions about atomic mixing — and offers engineers a new lever to tune material performance.

With the new Umill 1000, Emco closes the gap between its Umill 750 and 1500 models — a versatile 5-axis machining centre combining milling and turning in one compact, high-performance solution.
