With the launch of Fortis mill grinding wheels, Weiler Abrasives is targeting higher efficiency in hot and cold rolling mills. The new wheels combine advanced ceramic grain technology with extended service life to reduce changeovers, stabilise grinding processes and lower operating costs in steel and aluminium production.

By investing in an Emag WPG 7, the Swabian family business has strengthened its grinding expertise — achieving higher precision, shorter setup times, and improved efficiency in flange machining.

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.

Data-based cooling lubricant monitoring makes grinding more stable and efficient: sensor data on emulsion health, grinding forces and spindle power enables requirement-based fluid supply, supports digital twins and can cut energy use by up to 27 percent. At Grindinghub 2026 in Stuttgart, visitors will learn how Umati and OPC UA connectivity helps integrate these data streams for higher surface quality and fewer rejects.

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.

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.

Horn has introduced the 1A chip breaker geometry for its 274 carbide insert tool system, targeting grooving and parting-off operations on sliding-head lathes. Designed for reliable chip control, precise repeatability and economical production, the new geometry supports machining of small-diameter turned parts across a range of materials.

At EMO 2025, Kellenberger takes a bold step beyond grinding. Under its unified brand, the Swiss precision specialist is introducing the new TM300 – a multifunctional turning, milling, and grinding machine, alongside expanded solutions in its core grinding portfolio.

New cutting-tool developments from Tungaloy, Horn and Dormer Pramet address different stages of the machining process. Common development priorities include reliable chip control, fewer tool changes and stable machining under demanding conditions.

Under the motto “Never Stop Manufacturing the Future,” DMG Mori will demonstrate how it wants to support its customers with productive manufacturing solutions and long-term collaboration. On its 2,100 square metre stand in Hall 10, visitors will experience 20 largely automated machines in action.
