Robots won’t replace machine tools, unless we teach them the physics behind machining.

At EMO Hannover 2025 , I had the privilege of reconnecting with my long-time colleague and friend Dr Jokin Munoa, Scientific Manager at IDEKO Research Center, the research centre of DANOBAT Group . We’ve known each other for years through CIRP(The International Academy for Production Engineering) and every time we meet, he brings new ideas that push machining science forward. This time, we met at the Productive Machines stand at EMO Show to talk about something that is rapidly reshaping the industry: the convergence of machining dynamics with next-generation robotics. Jokin and his team have spent decades at the forefront of machine tool vibrations, mechatronics and industrial troubleshooting. They live at the intersection of academic research and hard industrial reality — which is exactly why their perspective matters so much. During the interview, we explored: 🔧 How machine-tool-grade dynamics are becoming essential for robotic machining Historically, robots have been far too flexible for precision cutting. As Jokin reminded me, their stiffness can be 100× lower than machine tools. That gap has shaped the limits of the entire field. 🤖 Why robotics is booming at EMO 2025 We’ve all seen it, bigger, stiffer, purpose-built machining robots, dual-robot setups, and integrated solutions that weren’t imaginable a few years ago. 🧠 How SenseNC can push robots to their true cutting limits Jokin believes our optimisation technology can help bridge the stiffness gap by: • dynamically controlling chatter, • optimising cutting forces, • enabling higher removal rates on alloys, • and making robots viable for applications previously “forbidden.” This is exactly the work we’re doing together: applying SenseNC, the world’s first autonomous milling optimisation software, to a new-generation robot that uses Siemens Digital Industries Software drives . Its high-performance drives and structural design make it one of the most ambitious robotic machining platforms in the world — and we’re pushing it further. The goal isn’t to replace machine tools. It’s to narrow the capability gap so manufacturers can benefit from flexibility without sacrificing precision. Huge thanks to Jokin for joining me, and to the Ideko team for their collaboration. Partnerships like this are where the future of manufacturing is being shaped. If you are interested in SenseNC, Book a demo Now 👉🏻 https://lnkd.in/dDTTCGri
