The Lambda GT machining center by Fanum is equipped with Siemens’ fully digital Sinumerik One numerical control system. According to the company, it delivers excellent performance wherever a high level of stability and machining precision is required under all CNC machine load conditions.

Existing roll grinders are becoming the focus of a deeper collaboration between Pomini Tenova and Siemens. The partners are combining process expertise, CNC technology, automation and digital tools to modernise machines for higher productivity, predictive maintenance and increasingly autonomous operation.

Hurco Europe reported strong results from Mach 2026, with orders worth more than £1.5 million taken on the stand and over 200 quotations now being prepared. Automated production cells, 5-axis machining solutions and driven-tool turning centres drew particular interest, underlining demand for smarter, more accessible CNC automation.

With multilingual access, Learning Paths, searchable transcripts, and 25 courses now available, Ency Academy helps users find the right material faster, train in their preferred language, and move from orientation to productive programming with less friction.

With its new medial ball algorithm, Polygonica aims to speed up CNC quoting and manufacturability checks by making curvature and tool accessibility analysis faster for intricate part geometries.

At IMTS in Chicago, Ency Software will showcase its next generation of CAD/CAM and robotics technology, alongside new opportunities for dealers, machine tool builders, robot manufacturers and system integrators.

Holding a profile to micrometre accuracy calls for a different dressing tool than grinding under heavy loads. Norton uses reverse-plated rolls for the first task and wear-resistant sintered rolls for the second.

As 3D CAD models with PMI become central to manufacturing, metrology teams need faster and more consistent ways to turn digital product data into measurement programs. Mitutoyo CTL’s Micat Planner addresses this challenge by automating CNC measurement programming, standardising strategies and reducing manual effort.

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.

At AMB 2026, Fehlmann will present the automated Picomax 550 Pro with the Erowa Robot Compact 80, the high-precision 5-axis machining center Versa 745, the new generation of the Picomax 56 mill, and the compact and robust Picomax 21-M. The focus is on cost-effective manufacturing solutions for single-part and small-batch production, as well as flexible automation concepts for increased productivity.
