Elgoibar, 31 October 2025. – Industrial digitalisation and precision grinding are two key areas within IDEKO’s R&D strategy. A selection of the technology centre’s capabilities in both fields will be on display on 5 and 6 November at Advanced Manufacturing Madrid 2025, Spain’s leading showcase for advanced manufacturing, to be held at IFEMA in Madrid.
Visitors to stand 10H19, located in Hall 10 within the Spanish Machine Tool Manufacturers Association (AFM) area, will discover IDEKO’s latest innovations in precision grinding, advanced monitoring, and intelligent machine control, all aimed at enhancing quality, productivity, and sustainability in the metalworking industry.
A clear example is DynAQ, an innovative portable tool developed by IDEKO. The system, which will be presented during the fair, enables the measurement, diagnosis and correction of vibrations in machines and production equipment, helping to improve their efficiency, reliability and uptime.
“The platform has been designed as an intuitive, agile and interactive solution for technical staff, regardless of their level of expertise in machine dynamics. It captures signals from multiple sensors, displays their time evolution, and performs spectral analysis in a straightforward way,” explains Harkaitz Urreta, Market Director at IDEKO.
The DynAQ software features four main modules:
Training for companies
As part of its commitment to knowledge transfer and specialised training, IDEKO will also take advantage of the event to present its Precision Grinding course, which will be held on 26, 27 and 28 November at its facilities in Elgoibar.
The programme is aimed at professionals who wish to deepen their understanding of grinding process fundamentals, quality control, and productivity improvement, combining theoretical sessions, practical exercises, and real industrial case studies.
In addition, visitors to IDEKO’s stand will be able to obtain a technical guide on precision grinding prepared by the Technological centre’s researchers. The document covers the main aspects of the process, the factors influencing part quality, and the most effective strategies for improving productivity.
By participating in Advanced Manufacturing Madrid 2025, IDEKO reaffirms its commitment to advanced manufacturing, industrial digitalisation, and excellence in grinding—three pillars of its strategy to foster a more competitive, efficient, and sustainable industrial sector.
About IDEKO
IDEKO , a member of the Basque Research and Technology Alliance (BRTA), is a leading Research centre in advanced grinding and R&D, with over three decades of experience in developing and transferring knowledge to industry. This track record has positioned the centre as a key player in precision manufacturing, particularly in the aerospace, railway, energy, and capital goods sectors.
To accelerate technological transfer, IDEKO has created the Digital Grinding Innovation Hub (DGIH), a unique facility in the Basque Country dedicated to applied research and experimentation in digital precision grinding. With an investment of over 6 million euros, the DGIH integrates next-generation grinding machines, advanced sensorisation and remote monitoring systems, as well as a precision laboratory for the topographical and dimensional characterisation of ground surfaces.
This infrastructure enables multidisciplinary projects, controlling critical parameters such as power, vibration and acoustic emissions, all aimed at optimising, stabilising and ensuring the traceability of precision grinding processes.
The grinding activity at IDEKO is driven by a team of 14 researchers, including four PhDs and two PhD candidates, who combine scientific expertise and industrial orientation.
Furthermore, the centre maintains a solid collaboration network with leading industrial companies and universities, including the EHU Grinding Academy at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU).
