Swarf Control at Its Best – Inside Day 2 at the Maquinser Open House
By Alison Green
Day 2 at the Maquinser Open House has continued to highlight one key theme — process control across the entire manufacturing workflow.
Among the standout demonstrations is one of the highest-speed milling machines currently available, showcasing the level of performance now achievable in modern machining environments. Alongside this, a Tsugami sliding head machine offers a practical look at effective swarf control, a critical factor in maintaining consistency, protecting tooling, and ensuring uninterrupted production.
But this event goes far beyond individual machines.
Visitors are seeing a complete picture of today’s manufacturing landscape, with:
- 5-axis and 3-axis machining centres
- Automated systems supporting lights-out production
- Twin spindle turning centres increasing throughput
- Integrated 3D printing technologies expanding capability
The message is clear — success on the shopfloor today is driven by integration, control, and efficiency, not just standalone performance.
With continued investment across sectors, particularly in advanced manufacturing, Portugal is positioning itself as a growing force within the European industrial landscape.
MTDCNC has been on-site capturing it all, and a full series of videos and insights from the Maquinser Open House will be released very soon.
