Large parts, one-hit machining and more flexibility on the shopfloor: with the new DMF 600|11, DMG Mori is expanding its portfolio for demanding XXL applications.

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 Mach 2026, Citizen Machinery will showcase its patented 4-axis LFV chip-breaking technology to a broad UK audience for the first time. The low frequency vibration system synchronises tool movement with spindle rotation to eliminate stringy swarf, reduce cycle times and enable uninterrupted lights-out production, even in demanding materials.

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.

With a 1.6 million pound investment in a new, dedicated turning facility, Viking Precision Engineers is expanding its machining capabilities and deepening its long-standing partnership with Yamazaki Mazak.

Fette Werkzeugtechnik positions its Speedcore hob cutter as a cost-effective alternative to carbide tools in gear manufacturing. The high-performance HSS cutter enables up to 50 percent higher cutting speeds than conventional PM-HSS tools and can significantly reduce machining times without requiring investment in new machinery.

SIMTOS 2026 (Seoul International Manufacturing Technology Show) is Korea's largest trade fair for manufacturing technology, taking place from 13 to 17 April in Halls 1 and 2 of KINTEX in Goyang.

Rising tungsten prices and growing raw-material constraints are forcing cutting tool manufacturers to rethink efficiency at the source. As cost pressure builds toward 2026, modular, exchangeable-head carbide tools are emerging as a strategic response — cutting material use, reducing waste, and delivering flexibility without compromising performance.

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.

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.
