With tight energy supplies, rising fuel oil prices, and the need to respond to climate change, companies are under pressure to reduce their power consumption.

In the manufacturing industry, production efficiency is a critical factor in maintaining a company's competitiveness and ensuring its superiority in the marketplace.

Machine tools are so important that they can be said to be the engine running the manufacturing industry. When used for many years, however, tools will progressively deteriorate, and they will gradually fail more often. More frequent breakdowns could also affect production planning.

Machine tools form the foundation of the manufacturing floor and require proper maintenance. Failure to do so may result in poor product quality and breakdowns. How exactly should regular inspections and maintenance be performed?

In recent years, natural disasters caused by extreme weather likely due to the impact of climate change have become more frequent around the world. In the manufacturing industry, disaster measures are important not only for people but also for machine tools. What measures should companies take after a disaster to quickly recover and resume production?

The multi-tasking machine is an advanced machine tool capable of performing multiple functions on the same machine: turning, milling, grinding, and more. This can greatly streamline the manufacturing process, reducing production costs and increasing productivity. This article will explain in detail the features and benefits of multi-tasking machines, and will explore their use cases and range of application.

The evolution of machining technology in the manufacturing industry has been remarkable, and "simultaneous 5-axis machining" is one of the technologies that has become increasingly popular in recent years.

The world is progressively shifting to electric vehicles (EVs) with the goal of decarbonizing our society. With automobiles accounting for such a large share of the machine tool market, how will the changing automotive needs affect the metalworking industry?

With the population expected to decline in the future, various industries face labor shortages. The manufacturing industry is no exception. In the manufacturing industry, manpower reductions will need to be considered to manage these labor shortages. One major advance in manpower reduction in the manufacturing industry is machine tool automation.

While compact machine tools have a reputation for occupying less space and consuming less power, they also have a reputation for not being able to machine large objects and for lacking rigidity. In this article, we will feature the SPEEDIO series developed for BT30, and how it differs from the conventional image of compact machine tools.
