Boost your machining productivity: from process stability to micro precision
Why stability and micro precision matter
Unstable machining processes lead to vibrations, wear and quality loss, issues that cost time and money. This expert afternoon combines deep insights with interactivity: ask your questions, share challenges and zoom in on your specific use case. Together, we will explore how model-based optimisation, AI-driven wear detection and digital tools can stabilise and optimise machining. You will also discover micromanufacturing techniques such as micro-milling, EDM and femtosecond lasers, and how they enable new levels of precision and reliability.
For whom?
Process and production engineers, R&D managers and technical leads from manufacturing companies active in high-precision machining. Ideal for those seeking to stabilise operations, reduce tool wear, and explore micromanufacturing technologies for next-level productivity and quality.
Key takeaways
- Understand how model-based optimisation improves machining stability and reduces waste.
- Learn strategies to minimise vibrations and detect wear early with AI-driven tools.
- Explore the potential of micromanufacturing through micro-milling, EDM and femtosecond lasers.
- See concrete industrial cases showing productivity, precision and reliability gains.
- Discover how digital tools support SMEs on the journey towards smarter, more resilient machining.
Programme
Time | Subject | Speakers |
| 13:00 | Welcome | |
| 13:20-13:30 | Introduction | |
| 13:30-14:15 | Model-based optimisation of machining processes Adaptive machining requires reliable real-time data and digitised working methods. Thanks to parameterised models, it is now possible to identify and optimise the machining process. | Samuel Milton - Sirris |
| 13:30-14:15 | AI in machining processes Detecting wear remains a challenge, but a cascade model combining real-time data and image recognition provides accurate vision and timely alerts. This system has already been validated in real production conditions. | Tom Jacobs - Sirris |
| 14:15-15:00 | Coffee break | |
| 13:15 - 16:00 | Digital tools in machining Digital tools, from machine dynamics to visual inspection systems, enhance efficiency and quality. They also help SMEs evolve towards a smarter industry through cross-border collaboration. | Samuel Milton - Sirris |
| 16:00-16:45 | Micromanufacturing: when machining flirts with the micron The transition to the micro scale brings new constraints and opportunities. Appropriate techniques (micro-milling, micro-EDM, femtosecond laser, hybrid approaches) and metrology methods will be presented with concrete examples. | Denis Vandormael - Sirris |
