With the new M-800/60-20B, Fanuc introduces a high-precision robot for demanding tasks such as cutting, welding, milling, and drilling. Thanks to advanced path accuracy, enhanced rigidity, and the new R-50iA controller, the robot offers a cost-efficient alternative to CNC machines — even in complex applications like gigacasting.

With its Smartfill nozzle series and ready-to-install hot runner systems, Meusburger combines the advantages of standardisation with individual flexibility. At the heart of this approach lies a modular design concept that streamlines mould making and enables precise, cost-effective solutions for a wide range of injection moulding applications.

With the launch of three new high-payload models, ABB Robotics is redefining what’s possible in large-scale automation. The IRB 6730S, 6750S and 6760 extend ABB’s next-generation portfolio to 60 robot variants, offering flexibility, performance and sustainability for industries ranging from automotive to general manufacturing.

With Thermopro, LPKF brings a new level of process transparency to laser plastic welding: the inline thermographic system analyses temperature data immediately after welding, providing over 20 quality parameters for non-destructive inspection. The result: optimised strength, traceability, and reliable quality — even when using recycled plastics or complex multi-cavity tools.

At K 2025, Envalior will highlight how its materials solutions help improve performance and reduce time-to-market, risks, costs, and CO2 emissions. Alongside Sustainable and High-Performance Engineering Materials, the company will present its full suite of Engineering Services — combining materials science, application expertise, CAE capabilities, and AI-powered tools.

High-precision grinding processes are essential in modern cutting tool manufacturing. The quality of the metalworking fluids (MWF) plays a decisive role here. With its ultra-fine filtration systems, Vomat from Treuen/Germany offers solutions that not only improve tool quality, but also reduce production costs and promote sustainability.

Cutting tool manufacturer Tungaloy has expanded its Addmultiturn turning tool series to include internal coolant holders compatible with PSC interfaces in sizes C4, C5, and C6. The additions aim to improve tool life and machining stability in multi-directional turning operations.

Designed for use in compact high-speed machining centres, Ott-Jakob’s new Power-Check Micro measures the clamping force in small spindle interfaces like HSK E15 to E20. The lightweight, battery-powered device supports preventative maintenance and helps ensure precision, tool stability, and process reliability.

From cobots and autonomous mobile robots to AI-powered assistance systems: At EMO Hannover 2025, automation takes centre stage as the machine tool industry searches for flexible, user-friendly solutions to boost productivity, compensate for skills shortages and enhance quality assurance.

Designed for resource-efficient, flexible, and automated production, a newly developed milling kinematic enables versatile, high-precision machining of materials ranging from fibre composites and aluminium to tempered steel — with manufacturing tolerances of up to 0.1 millimetres. This globally unique innovation was unveiled at Automatica.
