Kellenberger to present the future of precision machining at AMB

At AMB 2026 in Stuttgart, the Kellenberger Group will present innovative technologies for modern precision machining. The highlights of the exhibition include the
KELLENBERGER SP42 high-precision hard turning machine, the KELLENBERGER K100 universal cylindrical grinding machine and a digital presentation of the
KELLENBERGER TM300 as a highly realistic Digital Twin based on the latest Siemens technology.

With these solutions, Kellenberger demonstrates its commitment to being far more than a machine tool manufacturer. The company develops integrated manufacturing solutions that meet the highest standards of precision, efficiency and future readiness. The technologies on display are designed to support manufacturers in industries including aerospace, automotive and E-mobility, medical technology, energy, tool and die making and general precision engineering.

"Our customers' requirements are constantly evolving,” Jörg Schmauder, CSO at Kellenberger, explains. “In addition to outstanding machining quality, productivity, flexibility, and digital process reliability have become increasingly important. At AMB 2026, we will demonstrate how Kellenberger combines innovative machine concepts with advanced digital technologies to successfully address these challenges and help shape the future of precision manufacturing."

Digital innovation in focus: Experience the TM300 as a Digital Twin
A key highlight of Kellenberger's presence at AMB 2026 is the digital presentation of the KELLENBERGER TM300, a state-of-the-art 5-axis turn-mill centre designed for demanding applications in precision engineering, aerospace, medical technology and general mechanical engineering.

T

he machine combines outstanding turning and milling performance within a single platform. Both the main and counter spindle deliver speeds of up to 3,500 rpm and 600 Nm of torque, while the milling spindle offers 12,000 rpm and 100 Nm of torque. A direct-drive B-axis with an extended 240° swivel range, together with an orthogonal Y-axis featuring 300 mm of travel, provides exceptional flexibility and a generously sized machining envelope.

Following the successful launch of the TM300 as Kellenberger's new turn-mill platform at EMO 2025, the company will present, for the first time at AMB 2026, a fully integrated Digital Twin of the machine. Developed in collaboration with Siemens, the virtual machine model offers visitors an impressive glimpse into the future of digital manufacturing.

The Digital Twin accurately replicates the physical machine, including its kinematics, machining processes and CNC control functions. Manufacturing operations can be simulated, optimised and validated before the first workpiece is produced. This significantly reduces development time, minimises process risks and enables faster machine commissioning.

With the TM300, Kellenberger continues its strategy of integrating complex turning, milling, and complete machining operations into a single, highly productive platform. The Digital Twin presented at AMB highlights the growing importance of digitalisation, virtual commissioning, and connected manufacturing in the future of the machine tool industry.

Visitors will not only discover a powerful turn-mill solution but also experience how digital technologies are becoming an integral part of next-generation manufacturing concepts, paving the way for greater productivity, shorter time-to-market and enhanced process reliability.

KELLENBERGER SP42: Maximum performance in hard turning
With the KELLENBERGER SP42, Kellenberger presents a high-performance, high-precision hard turning machine designed for the economical machining of complex precision components.

The SP series has been engineered to deliver maximum rigidity, process stability and machining accuracy. Its robust machine concept enables the efficient machining of hardened workpieces with exceptionally tight tolerances and outstanding surface finishes. Manufacturers in industries such as automotive, aerospace, bearing production and general mechanical engineering benefit from the technological advantages of this advanced platform.

The KELLENBERGER SP42 is one of the high-performance, high-precision hard-turning lathes in the SP series
By combining hard turning and grinding in a single setup, the SP series simplifies process chains, reduces setup times, and significantly enhances process reliability. A vibration-optimised solid cast iron machine bed, state-of-the-art drive technology and highly precise machine kinematics ensure consistently reproducible machining results in the micron range. The main spindle of the SP42 reaches speeds of up to 6,000 rpm, while the larger SP51 and SP65 models operate at 5,000 rpm, providing the performance required for demanding high-precision turning applications.

With the SP42, SP51 and SP65, Kellenberger offers a scalable platform capable of meeting a wide variety of precision manufacturing requirements. The SP42 on display at AMB 2026 exemplifies Kellenberger's commitment to combining maximum machining quality with outstanding economic efficiency.

KELLENBERGER K100: The next generation of universal grinding technology
As a specialist in high-precision grinding solutions, Kellenberger will showcase the KELLENBERGER K100 universal cylindrical grinding machine at AMB 2026. The K100 combines flexibility, productivity and precision within a modern machine concept, making it the ideal solution for manufacturers processing a broad range of workpieces.

The KELLENBERGER K100 is available in grinding lengths of 600, 1,000 and 1,700 mm
The machine is available with centre heights of 200 or 250 mm and distance between centres of 600, 1,000, or 1,700 mm, enabling the machining of a wide variety of components. Generous axis travels of 365 mm in X and 760, 1,150, or 1,800 mm in Z further expand its application range. Thanks to its modular design, the K100 can be individually configured for virtually any production requirement, from single-part manufacturing and small batches to high-precision series production.

Featuring ten grinding head configurations, a CNC-controlled direct-drive B-axis, and powerful solutions for both internal and external grinding, the K100 covers an exceptionally broad spectrum of applications. Users benefit from short setup times, outstanding process flexibility, and consistently high machining quality.

A particular highlight is the latest generation of Kellenberger's BLUE Solution operating and programming software. Its intelligent gSHAPE programming tool enables graphical, workpiece-oriented creation of grinding programs, significantly reducing programming effort while accelerating the introduction of new components into production.

The K100 perfectly represents Kellenberger's core expertise in grinding technology while demonstrating the company's continuous drive toward higher productivity, greater flexibility, and improved ease of use.

Shaping the future of precision manufacturing
Kellenberger's presence at AMB 2026 reflects the company's strategic vision: delivering far more than highly precise machine tools by providing integrated manufacturing solutions that intelligently combine precision machining, digitalisation and process optimisation.

With the grinding expertise of the K100, the high-precision hard turning capabilities of the SP42 and the digital innovation represented by the TM300 Digital Twin, Kellenberger demonstrates how advanced manufacturing technologies enable companies to increase productivity, improve process reliability and strengthen their long-term competitiveness.
