The collaborative robot, or cobot, is a rising star in the robotics industry. Massive developments in both technology and software make cobots easier to implement than ever. No longer the exclusive field of engineers and technicians, small-to-medium sized businesses can now get their own CNC automation up and running in a matter of hours. Has the DIY revolution in CNC arrived?

In difficult economic times, it is common to postpone investments and wait and see. However, it is precisely in such phases that there is often an opportunity to grow in the long term and secure a competitive advantage.

Trade shows are attracting more visitors again, and our CNC experts see three good reasons for this. And no: a nice goodie bag is not one of them.

It is in the nature of the beast to put the brakes on investments in a slowing economy, and when the geopolitical horizon turns dark red. But we shouldn't wait for the dust to settle to see new opportunities, because they actually shine brighter than ever. In this blog, we focus on what we can do in these times, and how we in the manufacturing industry can get out of the doldrums a little faster. Can you see the sparkles already?

If you ask any CNC expert about their preferred measurement method, chances are high you will hear "in-machine probing." And these experts have good reason to say so. Discover the capabilities of the three best-known measurement methods in this blog.

The manufacturing industry is a hybrid environment where man and machine work alongside each other. Whether we’re talking about a small metal cutting workshop or a full scale machine manufacturer: robotics are there to make our life easier. Tasks that are repetitive, risky or physically demanding are better left to the experts made from bytes and bolts. But how does a conventional industrial robot compare to a CNC cobot? And where lies the difference? Let’s take a closer look.

A CNC expert's favorite type of event is an Open House. That's what our panel of experts decided during our second poll on Linkedin. Open Houses won with 48% of the votes. Second place is for Tradeshows (24%), third for Private Demo (16%) and last place goes to Workshop with 12% of the votes.

In December 2023 we conducted a poll on Linkedin about the differences between a robot and a cobot. Our R&D specialist Zeno Gillis walks you through.

The rain definitely kicked off the last quarter of 2023, so we'll give you six great reasons to spend the day indoors. In November we'll be present at the following six events:
