"When we talk about retrofitting, for us it's about giving a machine tool a second life that lasts just as long as the first," emphasizes Ralf Glatzeder, Head of the Reman department at Liebherr-Verzahntechnik in Kempten.
Paul Horn is expanding the DA milling system for corner, face and plunge milling. With the DA65 variant, the system offers a larger cutting insert compared to the existing DA62.
From September 22 to 26, 2025, Grob will be presenting several innovations at EMO Hannover. The focus of the trade fair appearance will be on the latest 4- and 5-axis universal machining centers and the associated automation solutions.
In many areas of industry, surface quality determines the service life and performance of components. With the superfinishing process, roughness values of less than Ra 0.05 µm can be achieved.
With CNC HMI Base (TF5310) and CNC HMI Simulation Server (TF5320), the TwinCAT 3 automation software from Beckhoff offers two new function libraries for CNC-specific user interfaces, which can be used to create a modern, intuitive HMI application specifically for CNC applications and to simulate part machining using real-time data.
Self-lubricating plain bearings
The self-lubricating precision plain bearings from the Rodriguez range are characterized by low wear, low friction and high strength. Their special Frelon coating ensures continuous self-lubrication over the entire service life.
Siemens and several mechanical engineering partners are pooling their machine data to use generative AI for automated NC programs and adaptive manufacturing processes - the basis for a new, industry-specific AI model.
Rollon's portfolio includes linear motion solutions for machine tools with high precision, rigidity and load capacity, even under demanding operating conditions.
Rotating multi-metal 3D printing
Students at ETH Zurich have built a new type of laser melting machine that prints cylindrical components from two metals simultaneously. Thanks to the rotating platform, the production time is significantly reduced, which is particularly interesting for aerospace, aviation and drive technology.
Compressors and the compressed air they generate are used in industry for many different applications. However, it is often forgotten that the waste heat from the compressors can also be used.
Innovations in metalworking and AI
EMO opened its doors in Hanover on Monday. EMO Commissioner General Carl Martin Welcker and AI expert Prof. Christian Brecher from RWTH Aachen University kicked off the event with information about the prospects for the industry and the highlights of the trade fair.
Artificial intelligence is finding its way into machine tools and is not only changing production, but also the maintenance of machines. AI is becoming the control center for efficient, sustainable and competitive production. How AI is revolutionizing industrial production will also be on display at EMO Hannover 2025 from 22 to 26 September.
Kern Microtechnik is presenting the Kern Fortis HD, a 5-axis machining center, at EMO. The company is also presenting a Micro HD+ designed for series production and the Femto E3 laser machining center.
With the increasing use of lithium-ion batteries in industry, for example in driverless transport systems or as an emergency power supply for control systems, the volume of used batteries is also growing - and with it the challenge of recovering their valuable materials in a controlled and efficient manner at the end of their useful life.
Carbon is using Formnext to present new technologies designed to make additive manufacturing faster, cleaner and more productive. Less post-processing, fewer process steps, more efficiency - that is the claim.
Process monitoring and fault detection
Powder bed-based laser melting (PBF-LB/M) opens up new possibilities in additive manufacturing. Modern camera systems provide crucial process data to further increase quality and efficiency.
The grand opening of EMO 2025 will take place on September 22, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. in the H'Up at the Hannover Exhibition Center.
The 'CS-62' vision sensor from di-soric is around three times faster than its predecessor, the 'CS-60'. In combination with the 'nVision-i 25.1' software, it enables image processing solutions that were previously reserved for smart cameras.
