MAPAL to present new tooling innovations & solutions at MACH 2026
Published: | Industry News, MACH 2026
PASSION AND INNOVATION DEDICATED TO CUSTOMERS
– SINCE 1950
Leading tooling experts MAPAL will be attending MACH 2026 highlighting their latest and most innovative 2026 products and solutions.
Over the week MAPAL will provide customers from the Aerospace, Automotive, E-mobility and Fluid Power sectors with pioneering solutions for a wide range of challenging machining processes.
Visitors can experience a powerful lineup of advanced tooling solutions designed to meet the growing demands of modern manufacturing. The spotlight will be on several new innovative tools that have been engineered for higher productivity across a wide range of applications.
Among the many highlights to expect is the OptiMill-Uni-HPC, the third generation of the MAPAL solid carbide milling cutter. Optimised for automated manufacturing environments, this high-performance tool delivers outstanding cutting efficiency, making it ideal for demanding machining operations.
Also to be featured is the new milling cutter NeoMill-16-Finish, developed and designed to meet the toughest requirements for surface finish and dimensional accuracy in the series production of steel and cast materials.
The new NeoMill-16-Face proves an economical tool for pre-machining milling applications, ideally suited for machining cast and steel parts. Equipped with 16 cutting edges on the indexable insert, it enables exceptionally low costs per part while maintaining stable and reliable machining processes.
Also on show is the NeoMill-Alu-Rough, a powerful milling solution developed specifically for roughing aluminium components. Tailored to the requirements of the automotive and aerospace industries, this tool delivers maximum effectiveness and productivity, even at very high chip volumes.
A focus within fluid power and hydraulic manufacturing sectors will be two new spool bore solutions. A pilot drill with three or five cutting edges for different casting properties, enabling efficient and highly economical component piloting, reducing machining steps and saving tool changes. While the three-lipped core drill is used for stable raw parts, the option with five cutting edges offers precise results at high feeds in unstable casting conditions.
Like the pilot drill with three cutting edges, the solid carbide boring tool with three cutting edgesis based on MAPAL’s patented multi-chamfer technology. This ensures clean chip removal and no ring formation in the cavities due to special bore geometry – including at drilling depths up to 10xD. Targeted internal cooling also achieves a long tool life and increases process reliability. The fine boring solution to finish the bore can remove the need for any subsequent honing operations saving both time and cost for the customer.
Both spool bore tool solutions are optimally tailored towards subsequent fine machining. Coordinated processes, reduced scrap rates and maximum cost-effectiveness help create innovative solutions for fluid power – with measurable added value for the customer.MAPAL’s latest 2026 solutions and developments demonstrate a strong commitment to delivering improved performance, efficiency, and precision — providing manufacturers with reliable solutions for today’s competitive production environments and methods.
