Emuge to host 5-axis machining event with GibbsCAM and MatsuuraUSA

Emuge-Franken USA, a manufacturer of high-performance taps, thread mills, end mills, drills, gages, other rotary tools, and precision clamping solutions, is collaborating with GibbsCAM and Matsuura to host a 5-Axis Machining Live Demo Event.

The event takes place on May 21, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Emuge-Franken Technology Center, 1800 Century Drive, West Boylston, Massachusetts. Designed for CNC programmers, machinists, and manufacturers considering the move from 3-Axis to 5-Axis, this event will focus on practical strategies to simplify 5-axis machining and improve productivity.

Demonstrations will take place on the Matsuura MX-330 PC10, highlighting how modern 5-Axis platforms with pallet systems can help shops keep spindles running longer, reduce idle time between jobs, and better manage multiple parts or operations, especially in high-mix, low-volume production environments. GibbsCAM will demonstrate how intuitive 5-axis programming and full machine simulation help simplify complex machining workflows and reduce programming time.

Attendees will also see the new Emuge EvoGrip precision clamping system in action, demonstrating industry-leading clamping force of up to 75 kN, fast changeovers that reduce lead times, and repeat positioning with +-0.01 mm accuracy, designed to improve accuracy, stability, and process security in demanding machining applications.

Complimentary food and beverages will be served at the event.
