Scaling intelligently by getting more from your people, your equipment, your data and your decisions is a worthy goal for the new year
Scaling /growing/expanding Under Constraint: Machining Technology Investment Strategies for 2026.
Every machine, system and software package must earn its keep inside your strategic plan. Even tools and other accessories have to be acquired rationally.
Novo Modo, the young five-axis shop is a clear example. Instead of chasing pricier hardware, founder Joseph Alonso focused on workholding and repeatable cells. Crimping parts and using windowed frames instead of machining dovetails is a small change, but it eliminates entire operations, setups and the need for a separate “dovetail machine.” Standardized offsets and modular zero-point workholding dropped setup time from an hour to a few minutes, and a complex satellite gimbal can go from a 45-pound block to a finished, 2.5-pound part in a single operation. Novo Modo’s advantage is how its fixtures, preparation and workflow elevate cell and make it give more output.
FANUC's calls AI Servo Tuning helps when servo behavior is the root cause of a surface finish flaw or contour issu., This tool lets a technician diagnose and correct it in minutes instead of days. When “identical” machines are not behaving identically, it helps bring them in line.
Shops that routinely handle materials like Inconel get ahead by being intentional with end mills and cutting strategies: tool materials that balance hardness and toughness, geometries and coatings that hold a sharp edge and tool paths that manage heat. Taken together, those choices can dramatically increase metal removal rates in tough materials, and the only “new investment” necessary is better decision-making.
American Precision Museum's “Innovation Station” traces a line from handwork to line shafts to done-in-one machining, robotics and 3D printing. Capabilities advance incrementally as each generation combines more operations and reduces variation.

Rotary Table Offers Precise Machining of Bladed Turbine Parts
January 1, 2026
GROB Systems, Inc., a provider of manufacturing systems and machine tools, has introduced its new VARIO Rotary Table providing a unique, adaptable solution for consistent, accurate machining of bladed turbine parts and thin walled and slender parts.
Threaded Adjustable Grippers Offer Long-Wear Workholding Capability
January 1, 2026
Fairlane Products manufactures a wide range of carbide-tipped, serrated grippers, such as hex head type, round head type, and serrated body type.
Fairlane Products has expanded its lineup of workholding and fixturing components with a wide range of adjustable grippers.
Adjustable grippers penetrate the workpiece to provide high holding power. Used in jigs, fixtures, and chuck jaws, these grippers fit a variety of applications. Adjustable grippers are available in high-speed tool steel, with either tool steel or carbide serrations, in a number of thread styles and lengths.
