Timtos 2025, a global leading smart manufacturing and machine tool expo in Taipei, Taiwan, is set to feature another key highlight — Timtos Forum — on the second day of the exhibition, March 4, show organizers announced.

Machining transparency and workflow stability are the focus of Ency Software’s version 2.9 update for Ency and Ency Robot. The release adds new operation statistics, expanded machining report options and updated license administration, while also improving usability for multi-axis, lathe and cladding operations and resolving more than 180 issues across simulation, toolpath calculation, data import and reporting.

New features in Ency Hyper enable manufacturers to process large robot programs, support additional robot kinematics and validate robotic cells in mixed reality before installation.

At HIN Feinmechanik, precision does not end at the machine table. Faced with growing demands on accuracy, process reliability and programming speed, the company shifted control upstream into CAM preparation — reducing collisions, manual rework and scrap before cutting even begins.

Tool manufacturer HAM uses Knoll’s innovative Aerosol Master 4000 ATS minimum quantity lubrication system to achieve high-quality machining results. The ultra-fine air-oil mixture provides cooling for materials ranging from aluminium to titanium while significantly reducing costs.

From 2 to 5 June 2026, FIP (France Innovation Plasturgie) will once again open its doors to trade visitors in Lyon. Arburg is placing particular emphasis on France, the country where its first international subsidiary was established.

A tough investment climate has not stopped Hurco Europe from increasing sales and expanding market share. Automation uptake, strong interest in used machines and favourable economic conditions are setting the stage for a strong 2026 — including major product premieres at Mach.

More dynamic milling, greater precision and lower energy consumption are the key aims of Zimmermann’s improved FZU/FZP42 portal machines. Their thermo-symmetrical design is intended to support complex 5-axis machining of large, heavy workpieces without sacrificing accuracy or surface quality.

Following its 2025 edition in Hanover, EMO, the world’s leading exhibition for the metalworking industry, will return to Milan from 4 to 8 October 2027. Organised by Ucimu–Sistemi Per Produrre and promoted by CECIMO, EMO Milano 2027 will present the latest global innovations in machine tools, robotics, automation, additive manufacturing, and digital technologies.

With 360 exhibitors already confirmed, preparations for Grinding Hub 2026 are gaining momentum. Despite a weak economy, rising international orders and strong industry commitment underline the event’s growing importance as a central platform for grinding technology.
