Automation for CNC-class applications requires more than standard robotics. CNC Solutions has developed a Technology Package that seamlessly integrates CAM, motion control and robot execution. By combining offline programming, CNC-style control and high-precision robotics, the system delivers predictable multi-axis performance and significantly reduces commissioning time.

With its Run product line, Ready brings metrology directly onto the shopfloor. Designed for real production environments, the flexible CMMs combine robust accuracy, intuitive operation and automation-ready features to shorten feedback loops, stabilise processes and turn measurement into an active part of modern manufacturing.

At EMO 2025, Open Mind Technologies drew strong interest with live turn-milling demos and automation solutions powered by Hypermill. Highlights included the Hypermill Automation Center, Virtual Machining, and Hummingbird-MES — showcasing the company’s focus on connected and efficient manufacturing.

With the establishment of Open Mind Technologies Korea, the software developer reinforces its commitment to the Asian market. From Seoul, the company will support high-tech industries with its Hypermill and automation solutions.

Designing moulds and components just got easier: Meusburger’s updated digital portal combines proven tools with new configurators and wizards. The result is a more intuitive workflow, real-time data access and perfectly coordinated solutions for designers and toolmakers.

CAD/CAM company Ency Software will officially unveil Ency 2.0 and the full Ency X ecosystem at EMO Hannover 2025. The updated Ency 2.0 system introduces a redesigned user interface, a new tool assembly editor for mill-turn machines and material-aware feeds and speeds.

The latest version of Hwacheon’s Harmony controller features built-in Machine Works simulation libraries, providing expanded functionality for machining verification and process optimisation.

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.

Accelerating CAM workflows, Module Works is introducing its new GPU Simulation through upcoming releases of Sandvik’s Cimatron and Mastercam. The technology promises up to tenfold faster verification for complex multi-axis parts, significantly shortening programming cycles.

Die-casting moulds are costly, highly stressed assets — and unexpected tool failure can quickly disrupt production. Fraunhofer ILT is showing how laser material deposition, EHLA and AI-assisted repair processes can extend mould life, reduce downtime and make toolmaking more resource-efficient.
