High-speed milling

How to define high-speed milling (HSM)? That’s not so easy, though one statement is that the cutting speed is so high that this causes the forces for cutting the workpiece material to decrease. However, there is no doubt that the Mikron series machines from the GF AgieCharmilles Group are real “HSMs”. Really innovative is that they are provided with ITM, a system for exactly defining the vertical position of the highspeed cutting tool edge. Besides that, the designers took a lot of measures to realise stable machines with very accurate high-speed spindles.

DSPE Opto-Mechatronics Symposium 2026

The seventh edition of the DSPE Opto-Mechatronics Symposium will take place on 8 October 2026. This year’s theme is ‘The opto-mechatronics of telescopes: from tiny to extremely large’.

DSPE and LiS join forces

SDPE supports the nationwide expansion of the Leidse instrumentmakers School (LiS) to strengthen the pipeline of precision manufacturing professionals in the Netherlands.

Structure-preserving model reduction

High-precision machines are often modelled as assemblies of flexible substructures, which preserves physical insight but leads to models that are too large for efficient dynamic analysis and control design.
