The EMO Hannover organiser VDW (German Machine Tool Builders' Association) invited visitors to attend the major preview for the event in Frankfurt am Main on July 5 and 6. EMO Hannover is scheduled to take place from September 18 to 23, but 31 exhibitors have been giving a sneak preview of their innovations ahead of the event.

Among NSK’s focus products on Booth C42 in Hall 7 at EMO Hannover 2023 will be the latest linear guides. These linear guides offer the speed and rigidity necessary to meet demanding cycle time and accuracy requirements in machining operations.

A new addition to the Ifanger Microturn internal boring tool system addresses the challenge of stringy swarf seen when machining materials like unleaded brass. Such materials previously required manual intervention during machining cycles due to the 'birds nest' swarf effect. The newly introduced boring tools prevent lost production time, enhance surface finishes, and allow for longer unmanned machining.

At this year's EMO trade fair in Hannover, DMG Mori will present and demonstrate on its 9,000 m2 stand a new Machining Transformation (MX) framework based on four innovative technology and solution pillars — Process Integration, Automation, Digital Transformation and Green Transformation.
