The demands on manufacturing companies are rising: increasing variant diversity, decreasing batch sizes, growing time and cost pressure. Hainbuch is responding to this development with a consistently expanded product portfolio. The company presented innovative solutions atSeptember’sEMO 2025 exhibition in Hanover that help to make production more flexible and economical or to completely automate processes.

Hainbuch showcased a solution for automated jaw change-over in jaw chucks. Even for large OD clamping, the clamping elements can now be changed over fully automatically for different workpiece diameters – the integrated query sensor system ensures that this is carried out reliably. The result?Even with frequently changing workpiece variants in small series or single part production, the entire set-up process can be mapped completely unmanned – reliably, reproducibly and economically.

To ensure quality in automated processes, IQ clamping devices with integrated measuring intelligence can be integrated either directly into the process or as a downstream measuring station ‘post-process’. The TOPlus IQ chuck for OD clamping or the MAXXOS IQ mandrel for ID clamping continuously measure the workpiece diameter, workpiece position and clamping force.

Measurement data is transmitted directly to the machine controller and analysed via non-contact data and energy transmission. The control system then performs a setpoint adjustment. In the event ofany deviations, a message is issued or a correction is initiated immediately. This capability reduces scrap and ensures a constant level.

Hainbuch also presentednew clamping devices designed to maximise flexibility. Thanks to its rotationally symmetrical design, the reduced interference contour and the exchangeable flange, it is particularly flexible to use. The Torok enables sensitive manual clamping, ensures reliable workpiece stabilisation through axial tension against the end-stop and can be quickly changedover to ID or jaw clamping.

For nearly two decades, the XT has been a cornerstone of LNS innovation and reliability. Since its introduction in 2006, more than 35,000 units have been delivered worldwide, supporting customers across multiple industries.

What began with just 99 machines in its first year quickly evolved into a global benchmark for quality and performance, reaching a record 3500+ units delivered in 2021. This remarkable journey reflects not only the strength of the XT, but also the trust and loyalty of customers who rely on it every day to boost productivity and precision.

Now, LNS is introducing the next generation featuring improved rigidity and guiding for enhanced precision, a redesigned internal front rest to optimise performance, and an extra 40 kg of mass for greater stability and durability.

This transition process posed a major challenge, requiring close collaboration between LNS teams and partners. Developed and produced in China, the new XT shows the growing strength and potential of LNS China. The project required high levels of innovation, yet the company’s Chinese team and partners carried it out smoothly, with no interruption in deliveries to customers.

This milestone highlights how LNS China is more than a production site: it is a driver of innovation and growth for the entire group. With its know-how, flexibility and strong local presence, LNS China is ready to support both domestic and global markets. While the XT shaped the history of LNS,its successor is ready to shape the future.
