“There is a great satisfaction in building good tools for other people to use.” Many people regard the lathe as the forerunner of modern machine tools. Its introduction that made turning operations possible, marked the dawn of machining. Today, turning is still one of the most commonly used machining processes, and lathes remain a substantial part of the global machine tool inventory. This is why turning tools make up a considerable portion of the product range for leading cutting tool manufacturers. It is not surprising that LOGIQUICK, ISCAR’s latest campaign, brings new developments to the market with a significant focus…
Kolhapur, India – March 21, 2025 – ifm India is pleased to showcase its innovative AirBoxes with IO-Link, designed to optimize pneumatic control in diverse industrial applications. These advanced modules combine the functionalities of an IO-Link I/O module and a solenoid valve, providing efficient and reliable control of cylinders and pneumatic actuators. The compact design of the AirBoxes allows for installation in close proximity to pneumatic actuators, minimizing the length of pneumatic tubing. This proximity reduces the risk of leaks and enhances energy efficiency. Additionally, shorter tubing contributes to faster switching times, improving overall system responsiveness. Each AirBox is equipped…

Metrology—the science of precise measurement—might not grab headlines, but it’s the silent force behind every flawless engine, every safe flight, and every reliable medical device. From aerospace to electronics, industries are demanding ever-tighter tolerances and faster feedback. As nations race toward smarter, more automated manufacturing, metrology has become a vital player in the push for precision. Here’s a look at how different countries are making strides in metrology—and which sectors are driving the demand. Germany: Precision at the Core of Industrial Power Germany, a global manufacturing heavyweight, is setting the pace in industrial metrology. With leaders like ZEISS and Wenzel,…
At the turn of the century, ISCAR transformed the world of holemaking with the introduction of assembled drills featuring exchangeable solid carbide cutting heads. These revolutionary tools marked a new era in drilling technology, eliminating the need for mechanical clamping and instead relying on the “self-clamping” principle — a concept now central to ISCAR’s highly successful SELF-GRIP and MULTI-MASTER product lines. Each drill in this design features a precision-engineered carbide cutting head that integrates specialized rake surfaces for chip control, a centering zone for accuracy, and robust stoppers for secure mounting. Paired with a high-strength steel holder, complete with helical…
ZEISS, a leading provider of measurement solutions, has inaugurated of its first Quality Excellence Center (QEC) in Gujarat, making it the sixth QEC in India. This strategic expansion underscores ZEISS’s commitment to India’s rapidly growing manufacturing sector by providing cutting-edge quality assurance solutions and technical expertise closer to key industrial hubs. Gujarat, known for its strong industrial ecosystem, has emerged as a major center for manufacturing, automotive, electric vehicle, medical and engineering industries.

In today’s dynamic and uncertain business environment, organizations face a multitude of threats ranging from cyberattacks and supply chain disruptions to climate-related challenges. Navigating these uncertainties requires more than just operational resilience—it demands a proactive approach to strategic risk management (SRM). According to Raconteur, 85% of business leaders believe they operate in a moderate to high-risk environment, and 79% of boards agree that improved risk management will be vital to protecting and building business value in the coming years. Clearly, organizations must be equipped to identify and respond to strategic risks—not only to mitigate disruption but also to transform risk…
As global industries respond to the urgent call for climate action, the industrial engine market is undergoing a fundamental transformation. This change is not only about meeting compliance targets—it’s about embracing innovation that aligns performance with sustainability. Nowhere is this shift more impactful than in the machining industry, where industrial engines power everything from CNC machines to heavy-duty cutting equipment. Stricter environmental regulations are accelerating the transition to greener technologies. The machining industry, deeply reliant on industrial engines for precision and performance, is being compelled to rethink its energy sources and operational strategies. Traditional diesel and gas-powered engines—once the standard—are…
