The EMO in Milan will provide DMG MORI with the perfect showcase for new advanced technologies and innovative products. From 5 to 10 October 2015, the technology partner will be presenting 10 world premieres at its stand in Hall 4. In the field of turning technology, there are 4 world firsts: the production turning machine SPRINT 32|5 (including the equally new extension stage to SPRINT 32|8) built in Italy, the second generation of the turning & milling machines CTX gamma TC in two sizes and the NLX 6000|2000 turning/milling centre for large components. The three milling innovations all originate this time from the 4^th generation of the duoBLOCK series. Other highlights of DMG MORI’s trade fair presentation are the introduction of three world premieres in the ecoMill V series and the automatic lathes from DMG MORI WASINO that have been strengthening the DMG MORI product range since 1 April 2015.

Thanks to two Italian production sites, the EMO in Milan will be something of a home match for DMG MORI. Since 1969, GILDEMEISTER Italiana S.p.A. from Bergamo has been synonymous with high performance lathe technology and within the Group has a special focus on production and automatic lathe machines. Now that its site has been modernised and extended last year, DMG MORI will be setting new standards in the manufacture of machine tools. A new 1,200 m² assembly hall has been created – accompanied by a 1,000 m² technology centre, in which customized solutions and innovative high-tech machines are developed and can be presented to customers under production conditions.

The EMO world premiere SPRINT 32|5 and its upgrade SPRINT 32|8 are “made in Italy” as well as the universal turning machines NLX 2500SY|700 and CTX alpha 500. The turning & milling machining centre CTX beta 1250 TC, the production turning machine SPRINT 50 and the automatic multi-spindle machine GMC 20 ISM are other EMO exhibits made in Italy.
