EMO 2025: VOLLMER to showcase its razor-sharp brilliance when it comes to the metal industry 2025-07-15

VOLLMER will be meeting customers, partners and industry experts at EMO 2025 in Hanover from 22nd to 26th September, and the full-line supplier will have a wide range of products for state-of-the-art metalworking at its fingertips. For the first time, VOLLMER will be presenting its new ‘VGrind infinity linear’ tool grinding machine and giving insights into the digital world of the VOLLMER Smart Hub platform, which can be used to centrally record, process and manage machine data. The VLaser 370 laser machine and the VHybrid 260 combined grinding and erosion machine will also be at Stand F26 in Hall 11. VOLLMER’s appearance at EMO will be rounded off with machines from two of its subsidiaries, Loroch and ultraTEC innovation. The focus here is on the innovative automation of the new ultraTEC A20C.

“At EMO, we want to show how we, as a full-line supplier, approach the sharpening of tools as well as circular and band saws with innovative technologies and, above all, with a great deal of razor-sharp brilliance,” says Ralf Großhauser, CEO of the VOLLMER Group. “Our philosophy is that we offer our customers tailored solutions that we put together from our grinding, eroding and laser machinery as well as from our services, automation settings and digital services, regardless of the sharpening technology.”

VOLLMER to showcase its VGrind infinity linear for the first time

The new VOLLMER VGrind infinity linear grinding machine will celebrate its première at the EMO 2025 trade fair in Hanover. For the first time, the sharpening specialist will be showing the public how customers can flexibly grind their rotary tools with this all-rounder machine. No matter whether we’re talking about cutting materials such as carbide, high-speed steel (HSS), PcBN (polycrystalline cubic boron nitride) or ceramic, the VGrind infinity linear can machine cutting tools with diameters from 0.2 to 200 millimetres precisely, quickly and energy-efficiently. Automation and digital solutions enable unmanned operation of the machine around the clock – from small batch sizes and special solutions to series production.

Maximum precision with lasers, grinding or eroding 

The VOLLMER VLaser 370 laser machine can also be seen live in Hanover. On the foundation of its sophisticated kinematics, efficient extraction technology and the very good process stability, the VLaser 370 can be continuously operated for months – without corrections or cleaning. It is suitable for machining tools made of ultra-hard cutting materials such as PCD (polycrystalline diamond), CVD diamond or PcBN, and is ready for use with automatic settings, without manual intervention, and around the clock. The VHybrid 260, with which tool manufacturers can fully grind or erode both carbide and PCD tools, will also be at EMO. The machine is based on multi-layer machining, which is implemented through two vertically configured spindles. The lower spindle can be used both for grinding and for eroding. Thanks to the Vpulse EDM generator, the smallest microtools with diameters of 0.45 millimetres and below can be produced with maximum precision, performance and surface finish using the VHybrid 260.

Digital services open the gates to the world of IoT

This year’s trade fair highlight from amongst VOLLMER’s digital products and services is the VOLLMER Smart Hub platform, which can be used to centrally record, process and manage data from VOLLMER machines. The VOLLMER Smart Hub brings transparency and efficiency to modern production and, in combination with an AI-based chatbot, can provide information on machine utilisation, the number of tools produced or even missing parts, among other things. VOLLMER will also be presenting its digital V@dison solutions and its services relating to maintenance, servicing, training and financing.

VOLLMER subsidiaries also represented

In addition to its own machines, VOLLMER will also be showcasing products and services from its subsidiaries, Loroch and ultraTEC innovation. Loroch will be bringing its KSC 560-B sharpening machine for circular metal saw blades along to Hanover. This machine is suitable for complete machining without manual intervention – including the automatic grinding in of chip breakers. Loroch will also be showcasing its TC 720 saw blade measuring device, which can be used to precisely check the tooth geometry of circular saw blades and circular knives. ultraTEC innovation will be providing information about its A20 C ultrasonic deburring systems, with attached innovative automation systems. This is so as to be able to deburr components in large quantities such as high-speed steel taps or dental implant drills in an economical manner, keeping edges sharp but burr-free. The special feature here is that several components can be deburred simultaneously with this unique machine configuration.
