Industrial kaleidoscope at the ITM trade fair. Exhibitors announce new products.

The ITM INDUSTRY EUROPE trade fair has been an important point in the industrial sector calendar for years. The event not only presents innovative machines and solutions for modern factories and medium-sized and smaller enterprises, but above all creates directions for the development of the manufacturing sector.

Every year, exhibitors compete with each other in arranging their stands, and the plan for what they will show at the fair is created many weeks before the halls open.

MACH-TOOL and AUTOMA: the Foundation of Efficiency

In the heart of the MACH-TOOL exhibition we will meet leaders in the field of process stabilisation. Arco will present solutions that increase processing efficiency already at the mounting stage.

The star of the exhibition is the TOPlus premium holder from HAINBUCH, which is ideal for precise serial and automated processing. In turning and milling centres, the MAXXOS T212 hexagonal spindle leads the way, offering twice the torque in 5-axis machining. The CentroteX S system, in turn, allows you to set up small spindles in less than 2 minutes, which is crucial when there are frequent production batch changes. A breakthrough in tool life is the TER heat-shrink sleeves from BILZ, which, thanks to their stable clamping, extend the life of carbide inserts by 300 percent. The offering is complemented by the STA system, which compensates for machine synchronisation errors during thread cutting, and the TESTit modular gauge, which measures actual clamping forces in clamping fixtures and 0-point systems. The list ends with the Heule SOLO tool for difficult back-counter boring in steeply inclined walls.

Our new DTH deburring tool holder is now officially available on the market and we will present it to the general public at the ITM trade fair. It was developed for an efficient, reliable and safe deburring process. Our goal was to provide our customers with ease of use and high-quality processing. Importantly for our partners, the product is available immediately, and we provide full technical documentation and implementation support, which, combined with high economic profitability, is a strong argument for launching this system, emphasises Andrzej Rudenko, Managing Director of Arco.

The Toruń-based company MASZYNY-POLSKIE.PL has been attracting visitors to the ITM trade fair for years with its exhibition, presenting modern solutions for the metalworking industry, supporting the development of production, process automation and the implementation of advanced technologies. The company's offering includes laser technologies for processing sheet metal, pipes, profiles and large-sized structural elements, as well as CNC machining solutions. At the fair, you will be able to see live solutions used in demanding production processes.

Our offer responds to current market trends, such as increasing the power of laser sources, automation of loading and receiving parts, production flexibility, and process stability and repeatability. Of particular importance are systems enabling precise machining of long elements and complex shapes, including steel structures. During the ITM INDUSTRY EUROPE trade fair, we plan to present solutions in laser technology and other areas directly related to our business, inviting participants to discuss and exchange experiences, notes Marta Świechowicz from Maszyny-Polskie.pl.

Complementing the mechanical precision is the offer of the ASTAT Group, which at the AUTOMA show will present components supporting safety and continuity of work, from Icotek cable glands to ETA control cabinets and Contex Experts barriers. At the stand, visitors will see a wide range of proven and top-of-the-line industrial solutions, including Icotek cable glands and Agro cable glands, Satech safety fencing, and Contex Experts flexible protective barriers. The company will also present ETA, Irinox and Multibox control cabinets and enclosures, Decril cable carriers, as well as temperature control components in cabinets, multi-pin connectors and DIN rail connectors (Molex, Ilme, Cabur), and Kübler encoders and rotary joints.

What counts today is the automation and digitisation of production processes. When offering industrial automation components, we focus on providing real customer support—from the modernisation of existing lines to technically advanced implementations tailored to individual needs in various industry sectors. ITM Industry Europe is a great opportunity for us to discuss these solutions directly with participants of the market. The fair is an ideal space for presenting solutions that support efficiency, says Łukasz Zenker, Project Manager at the ASTAT Group.

Diagnostics and Digitisation

A key element of a modern factory is control and analytics. SCHENCK – RoTec Polska will present the Pasio 100 dynamic balancing machine with the innovative Schenck ONE measuring system, which allows for intuitive operation even by less experienced personnel. Pasio 100 was designed for very precise balancing of rotors weighing up to 100 kg. The device is ideal for industrial applications where high accuracy, measurement repeatability, safety and ease of use are required. It can be used in serial production, repairs and maintenance departments.

At the ITM trade fair, we will also present the latest device for balancing in own bearings and vibration diagnostics, SCHENCK SmartBalancer 4, already awarded the MTP Gold Medal.  Thanks to advanced measurement and diagnostic functions, the ability to perform measurements on up to 6 channels simultaneously and real-time data monitoring, Smart Balanacer 4 ensures fast and precise balancing, eliminating vibrations. Smart Balancer 4 increases the efficiency and quality of work and allows you to minimise operating costs, explains Piotr Cimr, Branch Director of SCHENCK – RoTec Polska.

In the area of data management, the leader is Monitor ERP, a system created for manufacturing companies, developed since 1974 and currently used by over six thousand companies and three hundred thousand daily users around the world.

The advantages of standardising the system include faster implementation and smooth start-up without additional adaptations. The MI Monitor function allows you to download data on starts, stops and the number of rejections in real time.

At the ITM trade fair, we will answer all questions about the system and the benefits of implementing Monitor ERP, share stories from current customers and conduct a practical demonstration of the system. Our stand will also feature a robot showcasing the Machine Integration (MI Monitor) function, which provides a clear overview of machines, enabling downloading and tracking, announces Paweł Łuczak, Marketing & Lead Operations Manager at Monitor ERP.

SURFEX: The Painting of Tomorrow

At the SURFEX exhibition, Ecoline will prove that a modern paint shop is an intelligent and fully digitalised organism. The main novelty at this year's exhibition are plastic surface preparation tunnels—exceptionally light, durable and easy to install. At the same time, the company places emphasis on advanced analytics, presenting a predictive module in data monitoring systems. Thanks to it, it is possible to intelligently predict the behaviour of the painting line, which means optimising production and effectively reducing costly downtime. Visitors to the Ecoline stand can expect a rich programme of demonstrations and workshops on the practical use of data analysis in everyday production and modern powder coating technologies. The company's experts will present specific examples of industrial implementations integrating painting robots and intelligent control systems. The entire offer fits perfectly into the strongest industry trends: automation, digitisation and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to make better technological decisions and forecast service needs.

Our solutions not only respond to current market needs, but also exceed expectations, supporting the digital development of the industry. We develop tools that help both monitor processes and fully optimise them. An important pillar of our activities is also industry education, including through organising the Modern Painting Technologies Forum. It is this broad perspective and real support for customer development that distinguishes us as a technology partner, emphasises Marcin Borowicz from Ecoline.
