DMG MORI Chicago Innovation Days are May 13-16

Sessions will cover new-to-the-U.S. equipment, machining technologies, and digitization.


Chicago, Illinois – During this year’s Chicago Innovation Days in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, (May 13-16, 2019) DMG MORI will demonstrate the latest trends and innovations in machine tool manufacturing.

The event highlights will be:

  • Integrated Digitalization for planning, preparation, production, monitoring, and service

Heading towards the Digital Factory with Open Connectivity – The trend towards industrial digitization is fundamentally altering the framework conditions for metal cutting production technology. DMG MORI’s machines have been offering digitization solutions since 2013 with the CELOS app-based control and user interface. And, the company has been expanding the range of solutions it offers to create an open ecosystem for the digital factory. DMG MORI is increasing its portfolio of CELOS services with intelligent software solutions and connective hardware.

  • Automation Solutions for competitive manufacturing

More value creation through integral automation solutions – Automated machines are crucial components of a digital factory and therefore an integral part of intelligent and networked production. DMG MORI will present automation solutions for machines produced locally in Davis, California.

  • Additive Manufacturing (AM) with four process chains in the powder bed and with the powder nozzle.

Bundled competence at the AM Excellence Center – DMG MORI has five AM Excellence Centers (AMEC) worldwide, including one in Chicago, where engineers design AM solutions involving powder bed and powder nozzle methods.

Additionally, the company will present Technology Excellence in aerospace, automotive, die & mold, and medical; a special focus on the machine tool manufacturer’s 35-year history in 5-axis machining; and two U.S. premieres – the ALX 2000 turning center and the DMP 70 vertical machining center (VMC).
