A Reveal of What’s Possible When a Machine Becomes The Master key To Tomorrow’s Manufacturing
Franklin, WI (September 9-11, 2025) — HERMLE USA, renowned for “investing in tomorrow,” has unlocked the future of advanced manufacturing, handing over the keys to those bold enough to claim it. For the first time in the United States, GEN2 machines will be on public display at HERMLE USA’s 5 Axis Summit in Franklin, Wisconsin. The event will feature live demonstrations of cutting-edge 5-axis and automation technologies, expert-led presentations on AI, motion control, and process integration, and insights from nearly 40 industry-leading partners. The 5-Axis Summit offers not just a glimpse of the future, but the tools, knowledge, and confidence for machinists facing the pressures of rapid change, rising automation, and ever-higher expectations.
Dive Into GEN2 Advancements
“This isn’t just an event—it’s a transition point for the industry,” says Gunther Schnitzer, President and CEO of HERMLE USA. “GEN2 unlocks more than efficiency or speed. It unlocks the future of how shops think, operate, and scale.”
The 2025 Summit brings together the machining world’s boldest thinkers to experience what happens when mechanical mastery meets digital integration. Industry players and those curious to learn more about 5-axis machining are invited to immerse themselves in the industry’s most significant developments and most pressing demands.
“When you talk about 5-axis, you’re really talking about freedom,” said Daniel Weber, Regional Sales Manager at HERMLE. “This year’s event is about expanding the mindset of what’s possible—not just faster cycle times or tighter tolerances, but new ways of thinking, designing, and building.”
Unlocking Potential at Every Level
The Summit will feature application deep-dives throughout HERMLE’s advanced showroom and tech center. Attendees will hear from industry leaders who are redefining manufacturing standards in aerospace, medical, energy, and moldmaking.
Key sessions will explore:
Attendees will also be treated to immersive discussions on shop floor intelligence, robotics, and how next-generation machinists are preparing for a career in an increasingly digital, high-tolerance world.
● Digital integration and real-time machine feedback
● Automation as a strategic differentiator—not just an add-on
● Designing for 5-axis: unlocking form and function simultaneously
● The future of U.S. manufacturing in a global precision economy
“HERMLE machines don’t just unlock complex geometries—they unlock opportunity,” said Markus Puntigam, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at HERMLE USA. “This summit isn’t about tech demos; it’s about transformation. Companies that embrace 5-axis aren’t just improving parts—they’re changing their trajectory.”
