METALEX 2026 booth BT35: see NKE AOC, auto offset from CMM results to FANUC CNC, in the Future Tech zone

25 Oct 2026 · By NKE Team

Nippon Kikai Engineering (NKE) invites you to booth BT35 at METALEX 2026, one of ASEAN’s largest machine-tool and metalworking shows. We will show NKE AOC (Automatic Offset Compensation) working live – a system that turns CMM results into CNC offset corrections automatically. NKE AOC was selected as a Future Tech Selected Product at the show.

Event details

  • Show: METALEX 2026, Future Tech zone
  • NKE booth: BT35
  • Dates: 18–21 November 2026, 10:00–18:00
  • Venue: BITEC Bangna, Halls 98–104, Bangkok

What is NKE AOC?

Every CMM result shows how far a part is from nominal. NKE AOC turns that result into the tool offset for the next cycle automatically, so the FANUC CNC makes the next part to size – without calculating and keying in offsets at the machine.

NKE AOC example: CMM deviation +0.012 mm becomes a tool offset of −0.012 mm
Example: 0.012 mm oversize, corrected by −0.012 mm (example values)

What you will see at booth BT35: 7 steps from CMM to CNC

1–2. The CMM measures, results go into a database

It starts in the measuring room: the CMM checks each part and every value is stored.

3. AOC knows which part and machine each result belongs to

The central PC running NKE AOC links each result to part, process, CNC machine and tool.

4. Calculate, double-check, queue

Actual vs. nominal, a correction by your engineering rule, then tolerance, compensation limit and offset address checked before every send. Passed values wait in a queue, and AOC only contacts machines that have a value waiting.

5. No line stop – wait for the ready point

The NC program has a point that says “offsets may change here”. AOC waits for the machine to reach it; until then the value stays queued.

6–7. Write the tool offset, read it back

When the machine is ready, AOC writes the new tool offset straight into the CNC, reads it back to confirm, and logs measurement, correction, time and result.

Why plants with CMMs and CNCs should visit

  • No re-keying – less calculating and walking between the measuring room and machines.
  • Fewer errors – checked before sending, read back every time.
  • One PC, many machines – results from several CMMs correct several CNCs; no measuring device needed inside every CNC.
  • Traceable – a full history of measurements and corrections for your quality system.

It suits automotive and EV parts, high-precision components, aerospace parts and lines running many product types. Support depends on the machine and control model; we check and test with your parts before go-live.
