Opublikował 22/12/2025

Heads deliver improved cooling efficiency and chip evacuation for aerospace and energy applications.

BIG DAISHOWA, a world leader in premium precision tooling and machining solutions, is introducing a major expansion to its range of fixed 90-degree angle heads with the new TAG90 through-tool coolant and AG35 high-pressure adapters.

These innovative angle heads deliver coolant directly from the spindle line to the cutting edge, bypassing the stop block. The result is significantly improved cooling efficiency, chip evacuation, and tool life, especially in difficult-to-cut materials typical of the aerospace and energy industries.

With pressures up to 70 bar and flow rates up to 30 l/min, the system enables precise delivery of coolant directly to the cutting edge. This ensures stable machining of exotic alloys such as titanium, Inconel, and cobalt-chromium, reducing heat generation and extending tool life.

BIG DAISHOWA offers two main configurations:

Modular-type angle heads: with interchangeable AG35 high-pressure adapters, including New Baby Chuck and Side Lock, for flexible applications.
HMC-type angle heads: with a highly rigid milling spindle for maximum precision and stability.

The modular concept allows for quick adaptation to different operations. The new adapter technology ensures a robust seal and long life: mechanical wear and internal frictional heating, which normally reduce seal life, have no impact on the system.

BIG DAISHOWA angle heads enable vertical and horizontal machining in a single setup, improving efficiency and precision and reducing cycle times in operations such as drilling and milling. The addition of internal coolant further amplifies these advantages, making the system ideal for complex components such as power turbines, aircraft structures, and other high-performance applications.

“After years of customer requests, we have developed an angle head with internal coolant that meets the real-world challenges of machining in the aerospace and energy industries,” says Giampaolo Roccatello, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer Europe at BIG DAISHOWA Europe. “With pressures up to 70 bar and direct coolant delivery to the cutting edge, these angle heads represent a significant leap forward in productivity, tool life and reliability, especially in exotic materials.”

By integrating high-pressure coolant supply directly into the head, BIG DAISHOWA now offers a complete solution for difficult materials and complex geometries. The system eliminates the need for peripheral coolant lines via the stop block, simplifying installation and reducing maintenance.

With this innovation, BIG DAISHOWA continues to push the boundaries of precision, helping machine shops achieve greater process reliability, improved chip evacuation and superior surface quality even in the most challenging machining environments.

Digital monitoring improves motor reliability in a cement manufacturing plant

WEG and Nuova Ites implement WEGSCAN solution to improve efficiency Nuova Ites Srl, a leading European company specializing in the repair and overhaul of rotating electrical machinery, recently partnered with industrial equipment manufacturer WEG to improve operational monitoring of one of the key industrial motors at a cement plant. As part of its ongoing commitment to reliability and performance, Nuova Ites installed the WEGSCAN electric motor monitoring system, a cutting-edge solution developed by WEG to monitor motor performance and identify potential issues before they impact operations. Nuova Ites, a specialist in the repair and overhaul of rotating electrical machinery across Europe, with over 800 wind turbines fully serviced in collaboration with leading operators such as Vestas, Enel, and ERG Renew, identified the need for continuous motor monitoring in a high-load application. In this case, a 132 kW, 2-pole WEG special series motor was coupled to an Atlas Copco compressor, forming a critical component of the customer's production process. Performance and reliability in this mixed-equipment configuration were crucial, but visibility into the motor's condition was limited. To address this issue, WEG supplied and installed a complete monitoring solution consisting of the Cassia X2000 Gateway and the WEGSCAN 100 unit. Following a WEG technical visit to the Nuova Ites workshop in late 2025, the equipment was ordered and delivered in early January 2026. The system was configured on-site to meet the specific application requirements and integrated into the monitoring processes of both Nuova Ites and the cement plant. The WEGSCAN system is designed to support real-time monitoring of multiple operating parameters, including vibration signatures, temperature trends, and other mechanical and electrical health indicators. Its dual-access capability allows engineers to view data from a standard PC interface or smartphone, facilitating remote condition monitoring and immediate performance visibility. Supporting the monitoring infrastructure is the Cassia X2000 Gateway, which serves as the system's communications hub. The gateway enables reliable wireless connectivity between the WEGSCAN device and the wider network, ensuring that operating data from the engine can be transmitted and accessed in real time. Designed for demanding conditions, the gateway operates over a wide temperature range of −40 to 65°C, ensuring stable communication between sensors and monitoring systems in harsh operating environments. By acquiring continuous operational data, Nuova Ites is now able to identify early signs of abnormal behavior and proactively plan maintenance, helping to reduce unplanned downtime, optimize service interventions, and improve overall energy efficiency. This level of insight is particularly valuable in environments where the costs of downtime and reactive repairs are high. "For Nuova Ites, the monitoring system has become an essential tool in its service portfolio, helping to integrate condition-based maintenance into the standard workflow and offering customers greater reliability and full lifecycle support," said Fabrizio Arosio, Head of Drive and Automation Systems at WEG Italia. “With the ability to more closely monitor critical engines, the company is better equipped to anticipate problems, optimize maintenance planning, and provide data-driven insights that add measurable value to asset performance and business continuity.” Digital monitoring technologies like WEGSCAN also help make industrial operations more sustainable. By providing continuous information on engine performance under real-world operating conditions, operators can keep equipment closer to its optimum efficiency point. In energy-intensive industries like cement production, improving the efficiency and lifespan of critical rotating equipment plays an important role in reducing overall resource consumption and supporting more sustainable plant operations.

Fanuc crx-3ia: the pocket-sized cobot that takes welding anywhere

Designed for shipyards and steel construction, the CRX-3iA is carried in one hand and operates with the precision of a fixed arm. FANUC introduces the CRX-3iA collaborative robot, the lightest and most compact model in the entire CRX cobot range. Designed to be transported and ready for operation in minutes, it is aimed at all those applications where being able to move the robot quickly makes a real difference. Weighing just 11 kg, the CRX-3iA addresses a real need in industries such as shipbuilding and steel construction, where welders often work on enormous structures and must constantly move. The robot can be carried with one hand, positioned at a new work point, and is ready to go in seconds. This means a single person can manage multiple welding stations, a real advantage in a market that has long been plagued by a shortage of qualified welders. The 3 kg payload is sufficient to simultaneously handle the torch and the seam tracking sensor, while the repeatability of ±0.02 mm ensures the precision required for certain processes. After each move, the robot automatically detects its installation angle and, using a laser scanner or tactile sensor, locates the seam and plans its path autonomously. An optional magnetic base can be added to attach the robot directly to steel structures quickly and stably, eliminating much of the complexity of traditional robotic installations. The CRX-3iA is part of the CRX series, a range of FANUC cobots that can handle payloads of up to 30 kg and reach up to 1,756 mm, and integrates seamlessly with existing FANUC control systems and software. It also inherits wrist button technology: the operator can guide the arm and teach positions directly to the robot, without having to resort to a Teach Pendant, making programming faster and production changeovers less costly. Its application possibilities extend beyond welding. Its compact size and light weight make it suitable for AGV mounting for picking, line replenishment, and internal handling. It's also an attractive solution for training environments, where there's often no space for a traditional industrial robot. “Companies need automation that adapts to them, not the other way around,” says Vera Mariani, Business Development and Communications and Sales Coordinator Manager at FANUC Italia . “With the new CRX-3iA, we focused on ease of use, quick commissioning, and precision. Customers can bring automation where it's needed, without having to rethink the entire installation.” The new CRX-3iA cobot will be one of the protagonists of the Technovation Forum , the FANUC event open to all and dedicated to new technologies and automation which will be held on 18 November at the Lainate (MI) headquarters.
