The milling machines manufactured by Germany's ROEDERS company achieve high precision and high surface roughness in a shorter time for both rough and finish machining through high-speed milling technology. The linear axes are driven by linear motors on all axes with roller guides, while the rotary and tilting axes are positioned with high speed and precision using direct drive (torque motors). In the specifications of the milling and grinding center, a series of processes can be performed with one chuck, including milling, jig grinding, and on-machine measurement using 3D models, achieving "high precision machining," "reduction of setup time," "reduction of machine installation area," and "labor saving." With the automation options, further labor savings are realized, and the streamlined loading/unloading operations facilitate stable production planning. **Processing Targets:** Fine blanking molds, optical components/molds such as lenses, reflectors, carbide punches, copper electrodes, carbon electrodes, blow molds, glass molds, impellers, precision molds, dental prosthetics, medical devices. *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog for further information.*

Automatic grinding wheel exchange system with a modular design that allows for additional functions based on individual specifications.

In the 335 linear, all CNC 5-axis machines are equipped with direct drives, making them suitable not only for conventional tool grinding but also for oscillation grinding. The adoption of linear motor technology enables this machine to achieve excellent dynamic performance and very high speeds on linear axes. This, in turn, increases the productivity of multi-axis linear CNC grinding. The benefits are clear. When machining high-demand profile shapes, there is no need to use expensive profile grinding wheels. This is particularly true for small batches, where the high cost of grinding wheels makes the process uneconomical. Using simple-shaped grinding wheels on the 335 linear for multi-axis linear CNC grinding is more advantageous and flexible. It allows for complete and economical processing of demanding tasks. Especially when using a grinding wheel changer equipped with five holders, high flexibility is achieved.

About ROAD: The "Roundtable on the Purpose of Autonomous Driving (ROAD)" conference series has evolved into a unique platform for interdis-ciplinary dialogue and international collaboration in the field of autonomous driving and autonomous mobility. Established in 2016, ROAD has brought together researchers, industry leaders, and public sector stakeholders from six countries across three continents. Based on this background, the upcoming ROAD 2026 will focus on "safety” and "driving AI”—the final pieces of the autonomous driving puzzle—to advance discussions on establishing the foundational framework for ensuring safety quality and obtaining regular-tory approval for autonomous driving. We also intend to discuss the international commonalities and differences regarding the social value brought about by ADS vehicles in terms of automation, intelligent driving, and mobility. We have established a total of five compelling themes for the Round Workshops, consisting of two topics related to “The Last Piece” and three topics related to the social value of ADS, as shown below. 1) Round Workshop 1 - Horizons of E2E Driving AI → Can AI Understand the Driving Environment Like Humans? 2) Round Workshop 2 - Beyond the Unknown: Safety Cases for ADS → Can Safety Ever Be Proven? 3) Round Workshop 3 - Envisioning Smart City Mobility → Can Smart City Mobility Bridge the Mobility Divide? 4) Round Workshop 4 - Logistics Enhancement Through Autonomous Tracking → Will Logistics Become Human-Free? 5) Round Workshop 5 - The Evolution of CASE: SDV/AIDV → Will Automakers Become AI Companies? We hope you’ll all join us!

[Instructor] Yuichiro Kabushiki, Partner Lawyer at TMI Comprehensive Law Office [Key Lecture Content] With the spread of AI, there is growing attention on the civil liability of developers, providers, and users of AI. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will publish "Guidelines on the Interpretation and Application of Civil Liability in AI Utilization" in April 2026, and the Ministry of Justice will also establish an expert meeting to examine civil liability related to unauthorized use of images and voices generated by AI in the same month. As the full enforcement of the AI Promotion Act and the revision of AI guidelines are underway, it is necessary to design and operate governance based on the potential responsibilities that may arise retrospectively. In this seminar, based on the guidelines from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and drawing on litigation practice experience as a judge and lawyer, we will organize the basic framework for assessing civil liability and explain fundamental methods for designing and operating governance based on risk analysis. Furthermore, we will examine the framework for civil liability and the design and operation of governance using hypothetical cases that are likely to pose practical issues.

In this seminar, we will welcome Mr. Satoru Hayami from Waseda University, who will explain the latest trends in AI utilization in manufacturing, as well as the evolution of technologies such as agent-based AI and physical AI, and the opportunities and key points for practical application in the manufacturing industry. Furthermore, Mr. Tsubasa Shibata, representative of Next Opt, will introduce processes aimed at practical implementation, incorporating actual case studies from manufacturing sites. We hope you will envision the "potential for AI utilization in your company" and take home hints that will lead to improvements in your operations starting tomorrow. We look forward to your participation.
