Grinding Hub 2026 will spotlight how artificial intelligence, sensor technology and closed-loop automation are redefining precision grinding. From unmanned “grind-measure-grind” production to smart process control and new applications such as humanoid robot components, the Stuttgart show promises a clear view of grinding’s shift toward self-optimising, data-driven manufacturing systems.

With the new Umill 1000, Emco closes the gap between its Umill 750 and 1500 models — a versatile 5-axis machining centre combining milling and turning in one compact, high-performance solution.

From hybrid machine tools to AI-driven robotics and automated post-processing, additive manufacturing is entering a new phase of industrial maturity. A look at current technologies shows how AM is becoming a reliable, scalable element of modern production.

At EMO Hannover 2025, Brother redefined compact 5-axis machining with the debut of its Speedio U500Xd2-5AX 100T. Combining lightning-fast dynamics with a 100-tool capacity, Industry 4.0 connectivity, and full automation options, the new model sets a benchmark for high-mix, low-volume production — all in a compact, energy-efficient package.

Software company Tebis introduces its Smartops Technology, an innovative solution for automating design and CAM processes, specifically developed to address the requirements of single-part manufacturing. Users benefit from a unique combination of speed, flexibility and process reliability.

With the new MSC 5 Duo, Emag presents a compact, two-spindle CNC turning center tailored for automated, cost-efficient batch production. Debuting at EMO 2025, the machine combines proven technologies, integrated automation, and precise machining — all at a reduced capital investment.

KW Solution has increasingly evolved from a tool and mould maker to a contract manufacturer for individual parts and small series. The company relies on automated processes and the RS 2 robot system from Hermle.

At its Neuenburg site, Nemera relies on Mitutoyo’s measurement technology and a new high-resolution CT system from RX Solutions to ensure absolute precision in injection-moulded medical components — from micro parts just 2–4 mm in diameter to complex dispensers, inhalers and pens.

At Mecspe 2025 in Bologna, Arburg and its partner Guberti will present the new electric Allrounder 720 E Golden Electric and the Tiq 2 3D printer. Highlights include live demonstrations of efficient small-part production, 3D printing innovations, and expert advice on digitalisation and sustainability. Visitors can explore advanced solutions for cost efficiency and environmental transformation.

The company Fu Chun Shin Machinery Manufacture Co., Ltd. (FCS) was founded in 1974. The name originally comes from a lathe factory that Chairman Po Hsun Wang founded together with his brothers on Fu Chun Road in Tainan, Taiwan. In 1978, FCS successfully transformed into a successful and now globally active manufacturer of plastic injection molding machines.
