Choosing between EDM hole drilling and conventional drilling depends on your application. Learn where each process excels, how they compare for hardened materials, deep holes, and Wire EDM start holes, and why Ocean River River 3 and River 35 machines expand your manufacturing capabilities.

Choosing the right bridge mill starts with understanding machine architecture. Learn why the KAFO BMC Series fixed-head bridge mills continue to deliver exceptional rigidity, accuracy, and long-term value—and when a universal-head bridge mill may be the better choice.

The Litz HU-1000 series is a universal head 5-axis machining center with a 39 in table, up to 3,300 lb capacity, and two configurations. The HU-1000A supports high-speed multi-material machining, while the HU-1000AT is optimized for heavy cutting and process consolidation.

CNC vertical turning lathe configured for large part machining with integrated milling, drilling, and tapping capability. The Honor Seiki VL-160CM with automatic pallet changer supports continuous production, high torque cutting, and multi-process machining in a single setup for improved throughput and accuracy.

The Honor Seiki VL-100 Series is a configurable vertical turning platform for large diameter machining. C, CM, CR, and CRM configurations define capability from high-efficiency turning to full multi-process machining with milling, drilling, and rigid tapping in a single setup.

Innova Machine Tool has launched a dedicated AutoDoor website focused on CNC door automation. The site centralizes product information, configuration tools, and technical resources, supporting dealers, integrators, and manufacturers evaluating retrofit automation and lights-out machining strategies.

The Honor Seiki VL125CM is a vertical turning center built around a simple idea – make loading and locating parts easier, especially when they’re heavy or awkward to handle. With the spindle oriented vertically, parts sit naturally on the chuck. There’s no fighting gravity, no reaching around a horizontal setup, and...

Over the last five to ten years, machine-tool development has been driven less by incremental speed increases and more by structural changes in how parts are produced. North American manufacturers are facing tighter tolerances, higher part complexity, shorter lead times, and persistent labor constraints. In response...

Developed inside high-volume automotive manufacturing, the WVM-380 is a compact five-axis machining center built around a double-column structure, scalable spindle and tooling configurations, and system-level automation compatibility for sustained unattended operation in a large production facility or a small job sh...

Taiwan’s rise as a global machine-tool producer didn't happen overnight. It began in the 1950s and 1960s, as the island shifted from an agriculture-based economy to one centered on manufacturing. Early machine shops clustered around Taichung, where skilled craftspeople built manual lathes and milling machines to sup...

We’re excited to introduce Innova Machine Tool, a new name built on decades of experience bringing high-performance machine tools from trusted Taiwanese builders to North American manufacturers.  This October 21st through 23rd at SOUTHTEC 2025, we’re inviting dealers, distributors, and shop owners to stop by the Inn...

Innova Machine Tools has appointed Bernard Martin as Head of North American Sales, a role that reflects the company’s next phase of growth and its broader transition toward engineered machine platforms, disciplined dealer development, and long-term brand building across the United States and Canada.  Martin brings m...

Innova Machine Tool has officially launched as a new North American machine tool company, representing the evolution of more than a decade of experience into a fundamentally different business model.
