Whether for producing parts in the micro-mechanics, aerospace, medtech or luxury goods sectors, Bumotec machining centers dedicated to small workpieces turn out to be a major asset to achieve your production goals and overcome the current market challenges. In the medical field, requiring high level of precision and repeatability, the company's technology is often used to obtain the cost-effective solution for producing implants combining grinding, milling, turning, drilling and polishing processes without interruption.

OnRobot is ready with a unique new patented toolchanger for collaborative applications developed by Purple Robotics, recently aquired by OnRobot. Weighing only 200 g (7 oz.), the Quick Changer has a low impact on robot payload.

The exponential growth of digital technologies continues to drive the evolution of manufacturing supply chains into data-driven cyber-physical systems, increasing the vulnerability of data and industrial assets and exposing them to an array of multi-vector threats. Every time data moves throughout the supply chain, it creates cybersecurity vulnerabilities — risks include theft, malicious or accidental alteration, or misplacement of data. Identify3D helps enterprises curb these risks by securing intellectual property while assuring manufacturing repeatability and traceability.

Amazing, but true: Over one and a half decades ago, many engineering companies were dreaming of parallel kinematic drives that would be able to replace conventional fork heads in machine tools after a brief period of euphoria, involving a few conferences, plenty of journal articles and several tentative attempts with prototypes and machines, things settled down again. Only one machine tool manufacturer reportedly had any success, working in close conjunction with an innovative aircraft producer to come up with a great three-legged idea.

Hardinge Inc. introduces the new Kellenberger 100 (pictured) and Kellenberger 1000 Universal CNC grinding systems. These innovative systems improve the precision and productivity for the most demanding range of machining applications.
