GROB SYSTEMS will present advanced five-axis machining technologies at IMTS 2026, at two locations to demonstrate their performance with automation systems and toolmaking processes. GROB machining centers, which are compatible with Industry 4.0 principles, are manufactured in the U.S. and engineered for productivity, precision, and flexibility. The machines’ design with a horizontal spindle position provide optimal chip fall, long Z-travel paths, and outstanding accessibility to the workpiece.

The GROB G150 five-axis machining center will be integrated with LANG Technik USA’s Robotrex automation system at booth 236667 in the North building. The compact, highly dynamic machining center will produce an aluminum, American flag belt buckle in live demonstrations throughout each day of IMTS.

Designed for high-precision machining of complex components in a compact footprint, the G150 features direct and absolute position encoders in all axes along with an innovative machine cooling concept that delivers exceptional contouring accuracy and thermal stability.

The G150’s compact design and advanced kinematics make it ideal for precision manufacturing environments requiring maximum flexibility and performance.

The integration with LANG’s Robotrex automation solution highlights growing demand for scalable and efficient automated manufacturing systems. Together, these technologies demonstrate how manufacturers can increase spindle uptime, improve workflow efficiency, and support unattended operation in high-mix production environments.

The GROB G550 five-axis universal machining center will be under power for YG-1 Tool Co., live machining a demo part in the West building at booth 431400 booth.

Engineered for highly flexible universal machining, the G550 offers stability, precision, and accessibility for complex five-axis applications. The machine features a large work envelope, swivel rotary table technology and simultaneous five-axis machining capabilities that allow manufacturers to produce demanding parts with maximum accuracy and efficiency.

The G550’s machine concept includes a horizontally positioned spindle that maximizes chip evacuation and visibility into the work area. Combined with highly dynamic performance and rigid machine construction, the G550 is designed to support a range of industries, including aerospace, defense, automotive, and semi-conductor manufacturing.

Multiple live machining demonstrations will be conducted with both machines throughout IMTS 2026.

GROB’s portfolio includes universal machining centers as well as highly complex manufacturing systems with proprietary automation technology - from semi-automated assembly stations to fully automated assembly lines. The range also includes production systems for electric drives and assembly systems for battery and fuel cell technologies. GROB develops customized turnkey solutions for machining components across a multiple industries, including automotive, aerospace and defense, medical technology, energy technology, mechanical engineering, and the semiconductor industry.
