Vigel has completed the acquisition of MCM, bringing together two established Italian players in advanced machining technologies.

Watajet, an Italian expert in micro waterjet cutting, has transformed an academia-developed technology into a unique production process. Thanks to Mitutoyo’s Quick Vision Apex, the company has revolutionised its quality control, taking precision, automation and reliability to the next level.

Kemmler Präzisionswerkzeuge has launched the KSG600, a compact shrink-fit unit that combines inductive heating and controlled air cooling in a single workstation, targeting high-precision, digitally integrated machining environments.

The Targi Kielce Industrial Autumn has established itself over the years as one of the most important events for the region's metallurgical and industrial sectors. The joint-format cluster of several specialised exhibitions creates a comprehensive platform for presenting technologies, exchanging knowledge and establishing business relationships.

With effect from 1 January 2026, Ben Mechelmans is the new Managing Director for the Arburg subsidiary in Belgium. At 25 years of age, he represents a breath of fresh air, innovation and new perspectives, which he intends to bring to Arburg N.V., located in Molenstede.

Arburg’s British subsidiary is under new leadership. Steve Thomson has taken over the helm and wants to make sure that the company remains at the top level in the rapidly changing markets of the UK and Ireland.

As specialised deep hole drilling tasks increasingly move to universal machining centres, operator expertise can become a limiting factor. DMG Mori’s new ADC cycle simplifies complex drilling operations with adaptive feed control and automated parameter optimisation.

Seco has introduced the High Feed SP07, a versatile milling solution designed to reduce tool inventories while maximizing productivity across a wide range of materials.

Inspection belongs at the point of manufacture. By moving measurement closer to the machining process and by using rapid, robust systems, manufacturers can meet tough takt time targets, reduce scrap and improve process capability — without inflating costs.

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.
