IDEKO strengthens its leadership in high-speed machining at HSM 2025

IDEKO will take an active part in the 18th International Conference on High Speed Machining (HSM 2025), to be held on October 15–16 in Metz, France, organized by the Université de Lorraine, CNRS, and Arts et Métiers. For more than 20 years, this international event has brought together leading experts from academia and industry to discuss the latest advances in high-performance machining processes, tools, and manufacturing systems.

In addition to being part of the organizing committee, IDEKO will contribute with five technical presentations — three delivered by Xavier Beudaert, Head of the Dynamics and Control Research Group, and Oier Franco, researcher from the same group, and two others in collaboration with partners from the European project LaserWay.

IDEKO has extensive expertise in machine tool dynamics, vibration control, and high-speed process optimization, accumulated through years of applied research and industrial collaboration. The centre’s work focuses on improving the precision, stability, and efficiency of machining systems, combining advanced modelling, control strategies, and experimental validation. This experience positions IDEKO as a key reference in the field of dynamic behaviour and mechatronic design of high-performance machine tools.

IDEKO’s contributions at HSM 2025 will address key topics for advancing high-speed machining:

• Highly dynamic CroXY crossed linear rail gantry design – Xavier Beudaert
  Presentation of a high-performance laser cutting machine capable of reaching extreme accelerations through an innovative gantry architecture that enhances both dynamics and precision.
• Fundamentals of active vibration damping via load-side motion feedback in machine tool feed drives – Oier Franco 
  A control-oriented approach to active vibration damping in feed drive systems, aimed at improving geometric quality and dynamic performance in machining.
• Influence of feed drive inertia ratio on machine tool dynamics – Oier Franco
  Analysis of the influence of inertia ratio on the dynamic performance of machine tools, providing key insights for optimizing drive selection and system control.

Through this participation, IDEKO reaffirms its commitment to applied research and knowledge transfer in advanced manufacturing, contributing innovative solutions that combine mechatronic design, intelligent control, and dynamic precision.
