The defense industry is entering a new industrial era. Faced with increasing production requirements, geopolitical tensions, and the need to reshore strategic manufacturing capabilities within Europe, manufacturers must now produce faster, locally, and with complete process control.

Aerzen’s machines and units are used wherever air and gases are conveyed or compressed – from water and wastewater treatment and pneumatics to chemical and process engineering, the food industry, and the cement and lime industries. The list of applications is diverse and covers virtually all industrial sectors. There are now ten WFL M65 MILLTURNs at the headquarters in Aerzen.

When technology, people, and ideas come together at the highest level, the result is more than just an event—it creates a dynamic energy. That was exactly what was palpable at the WFL Technology Meeting 2026 in Linz.

Nothing works without them: generator shafts are key components in modern energy and drive systems. Whether in wind turbines, power stations or sophisticated machines – they are subjected to immense stress, must demonstrate the highest precision and function reliably under extreme conditions.

WFL is consistently driving the development of complete machining forward and, with a newly developed high-performance angular head, is introducing a key technology for the cost-effective internal machining of complex components. For the first time, this innovation enables fully automated, process-reliable, and highly productive machining of demanding internal geometries in a single setup.

From 5 to 7 May 2026, WFL Millturn Technologies invites to the Technology Meeting at its headquarters in Linz. Trade visitors from all over the world will have the opportunity to experience the latest manufacturing technologies live and exchange ideas with industry experts.

The demands placed on modern manufacturing companies are increasing: greater flexibility, consistent process reliability and maximum output are no longer optional extras, but requirement. WFL Automation Solutions has been meeting these challenges for years with intelligent, tailor-made automation concepts-consistently positioning itself as a solution provider for the manufacturing industry.
