Berg Spanntechnik is optimizing its production operations with Haimer’s Microset VIO linear tool presetter. The system delivers precise measurement results and enables a continuous flow of data.

As WES Engineering Solutions expands its five-axis, lights-out machining capabilities, Vericut simulation and verification software provides the confidence to run complex CNC programmes safely, protecting high-value machines and components while reducing proving-out time.

Software developer Module Works has released version 2026.04 of its software components for digital manufacturing, introducing GPU-accelerated machine simulation and extending its Volumill and Smart Roughing technologies to multi-axis and turning applications.

With Gürsel Demircali joining as Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer, Module Works is reinforcing its partner strategy and growth ambitions in digital manufacturing.

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.

A hydraulic expansion tool holder with dual-contact technology helped improve stability, reduce vibration and shorten setup times during trochoidal milling tests in demanding nitriding steel, demonstrating the impact of optimised tool holding on machining performance.

With the Unicam crosshead, Guill introduces a new level of flexibility and efficiency in extrusion tooling, combining dual concentricity adjustment options with a fast, wrench-operated Cam-Lock system to simplify set-ups, speed up color changes and minimize downtime.

The latest release of Vericut combines faster simulation, expanded AI assistance, smarter workflows and machine-level accuracy, while Icam Post V27 brings AI-powered guidance, regression testing, and streamlined post-development tools.

Robots open up new possibilities for machining large and complex parts, but they also introduce new process uncertainties. DAMRC uses Ency to combine toolpath planning, kinematics and robot dynamics analysis, helping create a more systematic foundation for stable and predictable robotic machining.

CNC machining enables Speedpart to manufacture complex components from production-grade metals and engineering plastics with high dimensional accuracy. The process complements additive manufacturing where tight tolerances, fits and functional surfaces are required.
