The fourth edition of the competition dedicated to the best young talents for tomorrow's manufacturing industry will take place on May 11th and 12th in Lainate (MI). The most anticipated event in the world of Italian technical schools is back: the FANUC Olympics , now in its fourth edition, will take place on May 11 and 12, 2026, at the FANUC Italia headquarters in Lainate (MI). Forty schools will participate : 23 in the Industrial Robotics Competition and 17 in the CNC Programming Competition, for a total of over 80 students ready to challenge each other in highly technical practical and theoretical tests. From desks to robotic cells: the challenge is real Programming an industrial robot or a CNC machine is no longer just a textbook subject. At the FANUC Olympics, students from Italian technical and vocational schools compete directly on technologies identical to those used every day in the country's most advanced factories. Teams, each composed of two students accompanied by a designated instructor, will compete on FANUC ER-4iA robotic cells and ROBOGUIDE simulation software for the robotics competition; participants in the CNC competition will work on CNC Simulator and CNC Guide, developing programs in ISO language for 3-axis milling. “Every year we see kids arriving with increasingly solid skills, and this tells us that the synergy between school and industry is working,” said Mirko Cazzaniga, Education Business Developer at FANUC Italia . “When a seventeen-year-old can program an industrial robot with the same precision as a factory technician, it's clear that something in the way schools are taught is truly changing. And it's a change that benefits the entire Italian industrial system.” A national showcase that opens its doors to Europe The FANUC Olympics aren't just a competition: they're a springboard. The top teams in the Robotics Competition will have the opportunity to participate in the WorldSkills Piemonte regional competitions in the fall of 2026, which will qualify for the EuroSkills Düsseldorf 2027 European Robotics Championships. This journey takes young Italian talent from the school lab to the European stage. At the end of the two days of competition, the top three schools in each competition will be awarded prizes. All participants will receive a certificate of participation. 40 schools from all over Italy, one passion The competing schools hail from 11 Italian regions, from Sicily to Friuli-Venezia Giulia, from Calabria to Piedmont, demonstrating how the passion for robotics and numerical control knows no geographical boundaries. Technical and vocational schools, ITS Academies, and vocational training centers will be joined together, united by a training program based on the FANUC-Sanoma educational laboratories, already present in hundreds of Italian schools. The event was sponsored by: Sanoma, CIM 4.0, CIAC, ITS Lombardia Meccatronica Academy, Ingegneria Italia, Assolombarda, WorldSkills Italy, Politecnico di Milano, Salesiani CNOS-FAP ETS, SIRI, MADE Competence Center i4.0, Fondazione UCIMU, ASLAM, Mobilita ITS Academy, CIOFS Professional School and Free University of Bolzano. The FANUC Olympics are a FANUC Italy initiative within the FANUC Education program, and a fun educational competition that helps train the technicians of the future, celebrating the talent and passion of Italian students.

EDGE3i, sold in Asia, arrives in Europe with high precision, reliability and productivity thanks to advanced technologies and intelligent design. April 2026 - With thousands of units already sold in Asia, the EDGE3i has been introduced to the European market, bringing its proven performance and reliability to a new audience. This fully equipped, high-precision die-sinking EDM machine combines the highest reliability in its class with a level of precision typically found in the most complex systems. Advanced technology and intelligent design continue to deliver exceptional value, performance, and productivity in die-sinking EDM operations. The machine's footprint has been significantly reduced by integrating the dielectric fluid tank into its structure, eliminating the need for external reservoirs. Combined with the standard cooling unit, the EDGE3i's compact design also increases its thermal stability. Additional floor space has been saved by integrating the electrode magazine beneath the X/Y-axis structure. This allows for installation in confined spaces, eliminating the need for additional maintenance space on the sides of the machine. Other benefits include increased process efficiency and the ability to operate unattended. Simple and intuitive Hyper-i controller interface From an operator perspective, the EDGE3i's key advantage is its simplicity. The innovative Hyper-i controller interface features a 24" HD touchscreen that provides a comprehensive overview of operations. Innovative control features include intuitive, smartphone-like operation and an efficient design that helps increase operator capability and productivity, regardless of skill level. EDGE3i simplifies programming and machine setup thanks to the innovative layout of the Hyper-i controller, while the Project function offers a step-by-step tutorial mode that guides the operator through the entire process of creating a program. E-Tech Doctor Interactive The EDGE3i integrates numerous advanced support features, such as the interactive E-Tech Doctor, which helps the operator optimize the machining process by suggesting solutions to increase machining performance. The standard control panel, with LED display and emergency button, puts greater power and efficiency at the operator's fingertips. Other useful E-Tech Doctor features include current input adjustment based on erosion conditions and easily accessible video tutorials at any time. Uniform surface finish The EDGE3i offers a manufacturing mix of advanced technologies to support a wide range of applications. Makino's exclusive Super Surface and Super Edge generation technologies enable consistent, defect-free surface finishes of excellent quality. Reduced setup times Conventional setup for EDM involves programming the axis motion, measuring each electrode and the workpiece, and performing a test run on the machine. Only then can the actual machining process begin. The EDGE3i EDCAM system can reduce this setup time by up to 70% by eliminating manual data entry and performing a test run simulation. The test run is performed on a PC, where various settings such as machining position, electrode shape, and interference between the electrode and the workpiece can be checked. The data required for machining can also be read directly from a CAD program, eliminating any errors caused by manual entry. Since the user interface is identical to that of the machine control, the EDCAM software is very simple and immediate to use. Makino Milling Machine Co., Ltd. is recognized as a leading technology and service provider in the machine tool industry. The company is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and employs approximately 4,800 people in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Its revenue for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, was €1.4 billion.
