From the live machining of the Make in India Lion using Mastercam’s 5-axis CAM toolpaths on a Hermle platform, to the unveiling of India’s first Made-in-India Performance Hybrid Machining Centre at Aarohan 2025, this issue captures manufacturing technology in action. We also explore how AI and machine learning are moving from theory to the shop floor enabling predictive maintenance, real-time OEE monitoring, and smarter cycle-time decisions. Industry 4.0 is no longer a future concept; it is today’s operating reality.
Our global partners brought their latest innovations to Aarohan 2025. Mitsubishi Materials showcased the BC8200 Series CBN inserts engineered for hardened steel turning with dramatically extended tool life. SolidCAM demonstrated how iMachining reduces cycle times and improves tool life across India’s fast-growing machining ecosystem. Tungaloy’s Go Green initiative proved that miniature indexable tooling can deliver high performance while reducing energy use and material waste smaller tools, bigger impact.
Turbocam India, specialists in advanced turbomachinery components for aviation, automotive, and power generation, shares how a 30-year relationship with Phillips Machine Tools built on Respect, Reliability, and Reasonableness led to nearly 100 Haas machine purchases globally. What started with a single VF2SS in 2004, despite industry scepticism, grew into one of manufacturing’s most enduring partnerships. Their story is proof that trust, not just technology, drives long-term manufacturing success.
