Review of the EMO 2025
Strong performance – from classic clamping technology to automation
EMO 2025 in Hanover was a complete success for GRESSEL. Over five intensive days at the trade fair, we were able to hold numerous technical discussions, make new contacts and strengthen existing partnerships. Particularly pleasing: the great interest in our solutions – from classic machine vises to modern automation systems.
Our booth offered a comprehensive insight into the world of clamping technology and automation. The feedback from our visitors was clear: our innovations precisely meet the need for greater efficiency, longer spindle running times and reduced workpiece costs.

Product highlights at the EMO
We presented a wide range of products at the trade fair – from 3-axis machine vises to innovative automation solutions:

The new centric clamping vise C5X
Our C5X impressed visitors across the board. It combines maximum clamping forces with an exceptionally large clamping range of up to 691 mm. Thanks to the C2.0 jaw programme, it offers maximum flexibility and an enormous range of variants. Customers were particularly impressed by: the excellent accessibility for 5-axis machining and a sophisticated system for easy spindle changes

Vise handling – our new vise automation system
The automation solution attracted a lot of attention and positive feedback. The vise handling system makes machining even more efficient and flexible. Vises are stored in a magazine and automatically inserted into and removed from the machine tool by a robot. Ideal for recurring clamping tasks and long machine running times.
The advantages at a glance:
- Low investment costs
- Very high reliability
- Low complexity
- Significant increase in efficiency
- Can be used with centric or single clamps
- 1-fold clamping station as console version
- Universal gripper with gripper fingers for flexible vise handling
Vise Handling offers a practical and quick entry, especially for companies that want to take their first steps towards automation.

Workpiece automation R-C2 together with HandlingTech
Together with our partner HandlingTech, we presented the R-C2 automation. This system enables completely unmanned 6-sided machining. Workpieces are fixed in a special clamping system and can be processed on all sides without manual intervention.
For production managers, this means maximum machine uptime, predictable processes and a significant reduction in unit costs.

Practical benefits that convince
Our solutions show concretely how production managers and CNC managers can make their production more efficient:
- Reduce set-up times with zero-point clamping systems and modular clamping jaws
- Increase spindle running times with multiple clamping, tower solutions and automation
- Reduce workpiece costs through higher machine utilisation and shorter downtimes
Looking back, EMO 2025 was a successful trade fair for GRESSEL. We not only presented our existing solutions, but also sent a strong signal for the future of clamping technology with our new products.
A big thank you to all the visitors who took the time to visit our stand and had interesting discussions with us. We are already looking forward to the next trade fair and to presenting innovative solutions to you again.
