Whether at OPEN HOUSE 2025 or leading international exhibitions such as CIMT in China, at local events or industry get-togethers such as EPHJ in Geneva: The global focus has been on innovative manufacturing solutions, new machine highlights and an intensive exchange with customers and partners. The CHIRON Group presented itself around the globe as a trendsetter and full-service provider for future-proof manufacturing processes.
Presenting innovations, demonstrating technologies live, addressing markets in a targeted manner: For Matthias Rapp, Vice President Global Marketing, »there is simply no substitute for personal, intensive dialog. The large and small exhibitions and events around the world enable us to demonstrate our technological expertise in a targeted manner. And just as importantly, to speak directly with our customers about their current and future requirements.«
»Innovations for future demands – explore our machining world premiere«: Under this motto, the CHIRON Group opened its halls to trade visitors from all over the world from May 13 to 15, 2025. The focus of OPEN HOUSE included the world premiere of the Micro5 XL – the new machining center for micro machining with an extended range of applications and a very compact footprint. Details on the new machine in the article »Clear the stage for the Micro5 XL«
In addition to the Micro5 XL, the CHIRON Group presented manufacturing solutions in all dimensions in live operation using exemplary workpieces. Many of the practical applications were accompanied by compact keynote speeches. With the MT 715 two+, the focus was on the integration of gear cutting technologies – for precise and efficient complete machining on just one machining center. The combination of an FZ 12 S five axis with the compact Variocell MOVE robot cell demonstrated what intelligent workpiece handling can look like. Top speed and top performance when processing large components could be experienced on the new DZ 22 speed+. And the FZ 19 S five axis was also impressive: It demonstrated its strengths in terms of precision, dynamics and productivity when manufacturing struts for an aerospace landing gear assembly from grade 5 titanium.
The theme islands on digital solutions, refurbishment and services were also very popular. Here too, the CHIRON Group provided answers to the requirements of tomorrow. The expertise area Services provided information on maintenance contracts for consistently high machine availability, repair packages for spindles and PerformanceFinance, among other things. The combination of machine financing, data-based condition monitoring and full service offers companies, particularly those with a limited budget, maximum technical and financial security for their production.
New and very positively received: The 35 partner companies were present directly in the machine hall, in the vicinity of the production solutions. Catering also took place there. The relaxed atmosphere around the food trucks encouraged interaction, facilitated spontaneous conversations and many new contacts.
From April 21 to 26, 2025, CHIRON China presented itself with great success at the 19th China International Machine Tool Exhibition in Beijing. The focus of the company's presence at CIMT was on high-performance five-axis technologies and processes for micrometer-precise machining – tailored to the requirements of the electromobility, aerospace, medical technology and watch and jewelry industries.
A special highlight was the premiere of the Micro5 in front of a large audience. With a spindle speed of 60,000 rpm and an energy consumption of just 500 watts – comparable to that of a coffee machine – its »desktop format« opens up new perspectives for intelligent precision manufacturing.
The DNA of the CHIRON Group made in China: In addition to the Micro5, a number of locally produced machining centers were on display in live operation. For example, the 25 Series with single and double-spindle machine variants for the large-scale production of components for electric vehicles and aerospace. Also built in the Taicang Innovation Factory: The MILL 800 five axis for the complete machining of complex component geometries. The presentation was rounded off with an FZ 15 W precision+ with linear motors in the X and Y axes, a spindle speed of 24,000 rpm and a tool change time of 0.9 seconds.
CHIRON America was also represented at important industry events in 2025 such as EASTEC in West Springfield. At the well-attended booth, the team offered a varied insight into the service portfolio. The focus was on the DZ 16 W machining center and µm-precise production for medical technology. Special little highlights also attracted attention: Miniatures of machining centers with automation and a kit with the »LEGO® Man«, which playfully captured the team's enthusiasm for technology.
In addition to technology, the focus was on dialog: About production targets, automation solutions and how the CHIRON Group can best support its customers in North America. Because precision begins – as at all global locations – with the people on site.
Another highlight in the 2025 exhibition calendar was the Swiss Micromachining Academy in Isérables in February. At the highest location of the CHIRON Group, everything revolved around micro machining – with a focus on the requirements and applications in the watch and jewelry industry. The central themes of the event at CHIRON Swiss were sustainability, precision and compactness. Key factors with which the CHIRON Group is shaping the small revolution in micro machining. With machining centers and solutions that are technologically pioneering and provide answers to ecological and economic challenges.
