A new cloud-based control architecture could reshape how CNC machines communicate, process data and respond to production conditions. Developed at the University of Illinois, the C-DNC framework links machine, client and cloud resources in a more integrated manufacturing environment.

Méca-Précis implements a robotic measurement cell to streamline its inspection processes. This solution combines a coordinate measuring machine from Mitutoyo with robotics solutions from Engineering Data, effectively removing bottlenecks in the parts inspection process.

At Mach, Mazak will present its complete offering across the manufacturing ecosystem: from the very latest in machine tools and smart automation systems to connected technologies, all of which can operate in unison to help customers take their next step towards increased productivity while remaining secure in their operations.

TMTS 2026 showcased Taiwan’s transformation from a machinery exporter to an AI and ecosystem provider. Nearly 73,000 visitors from over 80 countries generated business opportunities worth over US$2 billion.

More complex components, more demanding materials, an increasing variety of variants, and a shortage of skilled workers: The demands on modern machining are growing. LMT Tools is responding to this with a strategic realignment.

Lead-free aluminium is moving into high-precision applications where chip control, surface quality and process stability are critical. In a joint machining demonstration with Tornos France, Eural Gnutti’s alloy 2033 showed how the material can support demanding turning operations while opening new options for sectors such as luxury goods and watchmaking.

Grinding Hub 2026 comes at a time of high cost pressure, volatile markets and growing demand for efficient manufacturing solutions. From May 5 to 8, around 460 exhibitors from 28 countries will present technologies, practical applications and new ideas for the grinding process in Stuttgart.

Changing priorities, tool availability and machine downtime complicate single-part and small-batch production. At AMB 2026, Open Mind demonstrated how connected planning, CAM data and shop-floor feedback can help manufacturers track orders and adapt production schedules.

The online exhibitor directory for AMB 2026 is now available and offers advanced filters by applications, technologies and industry themes. Together with the themed grounds plan and updated AMB app, the tool is designed to help visitors plan their trade fair visit more efficiently across all ten halls of Messe Stuttgart.

The Temperchip machining temperature sensor provides real time machining data that protects workpieces, allows users to meet stringent specification requirements and enables optimal utilization of cutting tools.
