Strong Interest in Compact Deburring Solutions – Positive Momentum at Blechexpo
Strong Interest in Compact Deburring Solutions – Positive Momentum at Blechexpo 2025 Customer and visitor feedback at the LISSMAC stand at Blechexpo was overwhelmingly positive, reflecting a clear rise in investment interest across the sheet metal industry — particularly in compact, automated deburring solutions. Among the highlights was the automation concept presented with the compact SBM-XS deburring machine, which impressed with its intelligent, space-saving design and seamless integration into existing workflows. The enthusiasm on-site confirmed what the market signals: efficient, easy-to-implement automation is becoming a key driver for productivity in modern sheet metal processing. “Work smarter, not harder” is surely more than just marketing blurb, but a manifesto that European manufacturers will need to embrace to remain competitive in the current environment of globalization and cost pressure. Automation That Works Smarter At Blechexpo, the compact deburring solution SBM-XS drew strong interest and highly positive feedback. Together with gripping specialist Schmalz, a new automation solution was developed that combines AI-driven control and 3D vision technology. This enables the system to identify and handle parts of up to 10 kg with dimensions of 200 x 300 mm. In combination with a double-sided deburring machine, it delivers fully autonomous operation in a footprint no larger than a Euro pallet. No programming knowledge required. The Digital Assistant on the Shop Floor In the market for over two years, still receiving praise: The LISSMAC set up assistant LISA. With LISA, LISSMAC has developed a control system that redefines the setup process. Instead of countless manual adjustments, operators only provide a few key details: application, sheet thickness, part size, material, and burr level. From there, LISA does the rest. Feed speed, aggregate selection, and adjustment are automatically optimized to achieve the desired results. Behind the system are tried-and-tested application recipes from the LISSMAC technology center. These can be customized, saved, and even recalled with a simple barcode scan. What once took valuable minutes now takes only seconds. Efficiency you can feel immediately. A New Era of Machine Operation Operating an SBM-L machine today feels completely different. Instead of complex parameters, operators are guided by clear visuals, intuitive icons, and a user-friendly interface that even first-time users understand right away. Digital manuals, wiring diagrams, and spare parts lists are built directly into the control system. With multi-language screens and tiered access levels, the machines are not only easier to use but also safer to operate. Discover the LISSMAC solution for you Did you miss LISSMAC at Blechexpo?

When Machines Start Thinking: LISA Brings Intelligence to Sheet Metal Processing - discover at Blechexpo 2025
At Blechexpo 2025, LISSMAC is showcasing not only grinding machines, but solutions to step up productivity and make manufacturing processes more efficient. However powerful a machine may be, loading, user error and lack of connectivity throughout the machining process can lead to slower parts throughput times. That is why this year at Blechexpo, LISSMAC is guided by the slogan “work smarter, not harder”. The Digital Assistant on the Shop FloorIt’s Monday morning on the shop floor. The first sheets are lined up, orders are piling high, and every move has to be spot on. Normally, this would mean a lengthy setup routine – adjusting parameters, fine-tuning recipes, running test pieces. But today things are different: LISA takes over. With the Set-Up Assistant LISA, LISSMAC has developed a control system that redefines the setup process. Instead of countless manual adjustments, operators only provide a few key details: application, sheet thickness, part size, material, and burr level. From there, LISA does the rest. Feed speed, aggregate selection, and adjustment are automatically optimized to achieve the desired results. Behind the system are tried-and-tested application recipes from the LISSMAC technology center. These can be customized, saved, and even recalled with a simple barcode scan. What once took valuable minutes now takes only seconds. Efficiency you can feel immediately. Automation That Works SmarterLISSMAC has also teamed up with Schmalz to create an automation cell that handles machine loading entirely on its own. Using advanced robotics, AI-driven software, and 3D vision sensors, the system detects and grips parts with precision before placing them on the conveyor. From there, they move seamlessly into the deburring process – fast, reliable, and without the need for extra hands. A New Era of Machine OperationOperating an SBM-L machine today feels completely different. Instead of complex parameters, operators are guided by clear visuals, intuitive icons, and a user-friendly interface that even first-time users understand right away. Digital manuals, wiring diagrams, and spare parts lists are built directly into the control system. With multi-language screens and tiered access levels, the machines are not only easier to use but also safer to operate. Double-Sided BrillianceAnother highlight: LISSMAC’s unique double-sided dry processing. Inside and outside contours are deburred in a single pass – no manual flipping required. This saves time, ensures consistent quality, and delivers up to 60 percent lower energy consumption compared to conventional one-sided machining. LISSMAC invites you to join Blechexpo in Stuttgart from 21-24 October and visit the stand in hall 5 stand 5301. Discover the user-friendly machine controls and LISA setup assistant for yourself. And whilst you are there, don’t miss the chance to discuss automation and connectivity solutions for your shop floor.

Upcoming change in management at LISSMAC
Upcoming change in management at LISSMAC Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, We would like to inform you about an important change in the management of LISSMAC Maschinenbau GmbH. Our long-standing employee and Managing Director Daniel Keller will be leaving the company on 13.04.2025. His successor, Mr. Thomas Hoffmeister, has already been in office since 01.02.2025. Daniel Keller:Last year, after careful consideration, I made the decision to reorient myself professionally after more than two and a half decades at LISSMAC and take up a position outside the company. This decision has not been easy for me, as LISSMAC has always been a matter close to my heart. I started my career at LISSMAC in 1998, which took me through various positions and departments, and I was appointed Managing Director at the beginning of 2022. In these more than two and a half decades, I have been able to contribute to the development of LISSMAC and help shape it in my various areas of responsibility. It was a very intense time that shaped my life and that I would never want to miss. We achieved a lot together. These successes are the result of joint efforts and the tireless commitment of all employees. I would like to thank all my colleagues, business partners and customers for their trusting cooperation and support. The experience and relationships that I was able to build up during my time at LISSMAC will continue to accompany me in the future. My name is Thomas Hoffmeister - I am the new Managing Director at LISSMAC Maschinenbau GmbH: At 53 years old, I bring not only experience but, above all, passion and an entrepreneurial spirit. Born in Germany and raised in Italy, Switzerland, and the USA, I learned early on that success stems from responsibility, consistency, and innovation – values that continue to drive me today. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, I was taught from a young age the importance of entrepreneurial thinking, responsibility, and sustainable action. After studying Manufscturing Engineering at Boston University and earning an MBA from the London Business School, my career took me around the globe – from Thailand to Egypt to China. Positions at ABB and Dresdner Bank provided me with valuable insights before I founded my own company in 2016, which I have since sold. Now, I’m excited to drive LISSMAC forward with full energy together with an outstanding team. Our company is excellently positioned to not only meet the challenges of the future but to set new standards. With strong employees, a solid market position, and strategic investments in our site in Bad Wurzach, we have everything we need for enduring success. Let’s shape the future together!
Lissmac automates grinding and deburring technology with partners
Automated processes ensure efficiency in sheet metal processing. Take, for example, the automated ejection unit that Lissmac Maschinenbau GmbH is presenting at Euroblech. It is used to separate laser components that are attached to micro bars on the sheet metal panel. Four separately controllable gripper units equipped with a vacuum suction cup selectively remove the laser components from the scrap grid after the micro-bars have been separated by the ejection process. The components are then placed on a conveyor belt for the next process steps - deburring and edge rounding. The system does not require optical image processing as it is based on the geometry data of the cutting plan and automatically determines the required number of suction pads. It can be flexibly adapted for different sheet sizes and thicknesses. The possible component sizes in the current system version range from DIN A5 to Euro pallet format. Sheets with thicknesses from 1 mm to 8 mm and a maximum weight of 90 kg can be processed. Time-consuming manual clearing is no longer necessary. The process is decoupled from laser cutting thanks to a buffer space in the warehouse. The ejection unit can be retrofitted to existing cutting systems or high racks and can be used regardless of the manufacturer. The automation unit, which the Bad Wurzach-based machine manufacturer developed together with J. Schmalz GmbH, automates the loading of Lissmac grinding machines. The cell relies on robotics technology as well as AI software and 3D vision sensors from the automation technology manufacturer. The components are identified with the help of visual 3D component recognition from Schmalz in order to pick up unmixed components from a pallet. They are then placed on a conveyor belt using a matrix gripper. They can then be deburred in the next process step.The combination of loading robots with the vacuum grippers from Schmalz and the connection to the sanding system ensures more efficient production processes: Manual loading is reduced so that a deburring machine can be operated by a single person. The SBM-L Evo series will also be presented as a pre-series model for the first time at Euroblech. On show will be the SBM-L 1000 G1S2 Evo - a deburring machine for deburring and edge rounding on both sides of punched, laser-cut and fine plasma-cut sheets in a single work step. The new top model of Lissmac's double-sided deburring machines has been available as a series machine since April 2024 From the Lissmac product range of single-sided and double-sided grinding and deburring machines for thin and thick sheet metal processing, the SBM-L 1500 G1S2 for highly efficient double-sided deburring and edge rounding of punched, laser or HD plasma-cut parts and the SMD 35 REER (S-Edition) for uniform edge rounding on all edges up to a radius of 2 mm as well as for a non-directional finish and small parts and thin sheet metal processing will also be on show in Hanover. The SMD 123 RE will also be presented, which can be used for deburring and uniform edge rounding on all edges as well as for surface processing of workpieces made of steel, stainless steel and aluminum. Also on show will be the SBM- XS 300 G1E1 Alu Mix for deburring and even edge rounding of small parts in a single operation. Visitors are cordially invited to the Lissmac stand, Hall 14, Stand 14-K06, to find out more about proven technologies and the new features for Industry 4.0.

DIN 18220: A MILESTONE FOR FIBER OPTIC EXPANSION
DIN 18220 COMES INTO FORCEOn 28.07.2023, "DIN 18220:2023-08. Trenching, milling and ploughing methods for laying empty conduit infrastructures and fiber optic cables for telecommunications networks" was adopted. The document was ceremoniously handed over at an event on the gigabit strategy of the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV). According to Section 126 of the German Telecommunications Act (TKG), it is to be applied uniformly by all parties involved as a recognized technical rule from the time of publication. DIN 18220 is intended to contribute to the cost-effective acceleration and, above all, high-quality implementation of fiber optic expansion. It defines clear conditions for use and implementation and sets the legal framework for achieving a milestone in broadband and fiber optic expansion. DIN 18220 increases investment security for all parties involved, especially for telecommunications companies. To date, there have been neither standardized framework conditions nor uniform principles for the application of the trenching method. Up to now, most municipalities have mainly chosen the open construction method as the laying method for fiber optic expansion, as the minimum overlap had to be at least 60 cm before the standard. Since 2012, the TKG has permitted the use of shallow laying (trenching, shallow laying methods), which also includes non-standardized methods such as trenching. However, the process has so far had difficulty establishing itself on the market. This is primarily due to legal uncertainties for all parties involved. These are inevitably associated with the lack of binding technical specifications, in the form of a binding standard, for the use of such alternative laying methods. The difficulty lay in particular in differences between road construction authorities, contractors and telecommunications companies regarding the specific execution and implementation. As a result, there were delays in the expansion of the fiber optic infrastructure. THIS CHANGES WITH THE NEW DIN 18220Up to now, most local authorities have mainly chosen the open construction method as the laying method for fiber optic expansion, as the minimum cover had to be at least 60 cm before the standard was introduced. DIN 18220 now regulates laying methods for reduced construction depths, including diamond trenching from LISSMAC (38 cm laying depth)."With DIN 18220, fiber optic installation will not only be easier in the future, but also of higher quality, faster, more cost-effective and more resource-efficient. DIN 18220 creates the necessary legal certainty and investment security for all parties involved," said BMDV State Secretary Stefan Schnorr, describing the importance of the new standard. WHAT DIN 18220 MEANS FOR LISSMACLISSMAC has been active in diamond trenching for around 10 years. Due to our experience in the field of joint cutting, we are a long-standing member of the VDMA (German Engineering Federation) and were involved in the creation of the standard as a member of the standardization committee. We are very pleased about the recognition of the alternative laying methods for fiber optic expansion, including LISSMAC diamond trenching, as the standard creates clarity for the construction industry, all municipalities, communities and telecommunications companies.
