The second floor was dedicated to customer meetings and technical presentations, featuring three large-format displays for product presentations. On the first floor, visitors explored six key exhibition areas featuring threading, drilling and milling solutions; thread rolling technology accompanied by a humanoid robot demonstration; micro-precision machining technologies; digital tool management systems; and collaborative displays showcasing tooling and workpieces developed with partners across the manufacturing industry.
OSG staff displayed message boards highlighting common machining challenges and goals to engage visitors.
Live demonstrations of OSG’s MONOlithbox digital tool management system were held daily throughout the exhibition.
A major highlight of the exhibition was the introduction of 40 new products, including 29 products unveiled publicly for the first time. All products displayed represented upcoming releases scheduled for launch in the weeks and months following the show, giving visitors an exclusive preview of OSG’s newest developments.
OSG unveiled its ZERO Series, a product family designed to challenge conventional manufacturing limitations and create new possibilities for customers.
Among the featured innovations was ZERO-GT, a high-performance micro-chamfer forming tap from the newly announced ZERO Series. Designed to enable thread formation closer to the bottom of blind holes than previously possible, ZERO-GT minimizes incomplete thread sections while maximizing usable thread depth. This innovation supports thinner and lighter-weight component designs while maintaining the durability, reliability and performance required in today’s manufacturing environments.
