2. 5-Axis Machining Centers, Multitasking & Lathe Premieres (Illustrated)
Across the machine tool halls (East 1–3, East 7–8, South 1–2), the clearest trend is combining 5-axis horizontal machining centers with mill-turn spindles, alongside integrating gear skiving, grinding, and additive manufacturing into single-setup multitasking platforms. The illustrations below show how five machines collapse into one chucking.
Every machine change means transport, setup and re-chucking — the more steps, the more work-in-progress and waiting.
- DMG MORI INH 63 FD (East 8, world premiere): 5-axis HMC that also turns
- Mazak AG spec (East 1): gear cutting, grinding & measuring in one

3. Physical AI CNC, Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) & Coolant DX (Unmanned Cell)
Whereas JIMTOF 2024 focused on cobots loading and unloading parts, JIMTOF 2026 moves toward AI-native CNCs and automating everything around the spindle: chip disposal, coolant maintenance, and multi-machine scheduling.
East 8 E8005, Japan debut: an autonomous mobile robot that hauls chip buckets and more, shown with the MATRIS WPH 210 workpiece/pallet handler.
South 3 S3093, premiere: monitors coolant concentration and pH in real time and visualises them, cutting manual checks and logs. Slogan: “No measuring, no guessing, no stopping.”
East 7 E7084: new LC54-DIGILOG laser tool-measuring system, plus TC-series touch probes for the workpiece; live demos and case talks every hour.
FANUC (South 2 S2001) shows its Physical AI CNC and the new Series 500i-A / 100i-A; Mitsubishi Electric (South 2 S2003) proposes automated operation with a newly developed scheduler.
- FANUC (South 2 S2001)[5]: Showcases Physical AI CNC alongside the latest Series 500i-A and Series 100i-A CNCs and αi-D servo series, plus physical-AI robot applications (such as robots driven by generative AI) and the compact ROBODRILL DC series.

4. Cutting Tools & Tooling: Serrated Grooving, Damped Holders & Carbide Recycling (Illustrated)
In West Halls 1–4, cutting tool and toolholder exhibitors address two urgent shop-floor realities: record-high tungsten (APT) raw material costs and the need for foolproof chip control and chatter suppression during unattended machining.
- Black toolholders that cut rust-prevention upkeep
- Holders with built-in vibration damping or runout adjustment
- Micro-float tap holder
*The picture shows the generic principle of a tuned damper (a rubber-supported mass swinging out of phase), not the inside of Nikken products.
- Mitsubishi Materials (W1065): recycling, solutions and new products, plus a carbide-recycling workshop
- Kyocera (W1046): supply stability, longer tool life, lower cost and recycling
- Sumitomo Electric (W1027): automotive, aerospace, small tools and solutions corners
The backdrop is high tungsten prices: European APT was still quoted at US$2,700–3,100 per mtu in the week of October 8 (see our price report).
- Mitsubishi Materials (West 1 W1065), Kyocera (West 1 W1046), Sumitomo Electric (West 1 W1027): Mitsubishi Materials hosts carbide recycling workshops alongside new grades; Kyocera focuses on supply stability, tool life extension, and recycling; Sumitomo Electric splits its booth into automotive, aerospace, small-tool and solutions corners.
- Walter (West 3 W3042), OSG (West 1 W1070), NS Tool (West 1 W1093)[12]: Walter showcases its Groov·tec GD double-serrated grooving and parting system; OSG unveils new taps and drills for automated cells; NS Tool presents micro-diameter CBN and PCD end mills for hardened steel and mirror finishing.
- Nikken Kosakusho (West 2 W2039)[13]: Nikken Kosakusho introduces black rust-resistant toolholders, runout-adjustable holders, vibration-damping holders, and micro-float tap holders.
