RobbJack

SOUTHWEST Exhibitor: Established in 1959, RobbJack Corporation specializes in the engineering, manufacture and sale of solid carbide cutting tools. We continue to offer the broadest line of carbide end mills with the closest tolerances available for CNC milling equipment. In addition, we manufacture solid carbide slitting saws and PCD diamond-tipped routers, as well as provide physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating services. The benefits of high-speed solid carbide tools are as compelling today as they were 63 years ago. With today’s emphasis on process efficiencies for increased profitability, users realize that properly engineered tooling offers not only closer tolerances and longer life, but extremely high feed rates. RobbJack has worked with several aerospace partners since 1974, to support the demand for superior performance, with progressively more challenging application requirements. RobbJack Corporation has been employee-owned for more than 30 years, which is the average term of service for over 20% of our staff, and the management team has a combined 185 years of experience in the cutting tools industry. Whether your needs are for standard stocked items, or customized tools for your specific application, we are here to help you. We define “service” in our customer’s terms, delivering consistently superior quality products, and solving problems quickly and effectively.

U.S. National Strategic Plan for Advanced Manufacturing – Requesting Input from the Manufacturing Community

SOUTHWEST Session: Join us for a town hall event designed for exhibitors and attendees to help shape the future of federal research and development in advanced manufacturing. SPECIAL REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED: Register Here Participants will share insights to help define the priorities for the 2026 – 2030 National Strategic Plan for Advanced Manufacturing, which guides Federal efforts to enhance the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing. The plan is revised every four years to provide new federal priorities in advanced manufacturing research and development, aiming to create jobs, boost economic growth across various sectors, and strengthen national security. This town hall session augments an online Request for Information (RFI), enabling participants to voice their views and catalyze deeper input into priority areas. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has posted the complete set of questions in the Federal Register. The National Science and Technology Council’s Subcommittee on Advanced Manufacturing will manage the RFI process, and the NIST Office of Advanced Manufacturing will collect and analyze the information. Learn more here: White House Fact Sheet This exclusive town hall roundtable gives manufacturing leaders the opportunity to: Get a seat at the table with peers and policymakers Make your voice heard in shaping U.S. manufacturing priorities Provide deeper insights beyond the formal Request for Information (RFI) process.

Digital Threads and Smart Factories: The IoT Advantage in Manufacturing

SOUTHWEST Session: As global manufacturing enters the next wave of industrial transformation, the convergence of digital threads and IoT is reshaping the way products are designed, built, and maintained. A digital thread creates a seamless flow of data across the product lifecycle — from design and engineering to production and aftermarket service. When paired with IoT-enabled smart factories, this integration unlocks unprecedented operational visibility, agility, and intelligence. This session explores how manufacturers are leveraging IoT to create connected ecosystems that power predictive maintenance, real-time quality control, autonomous operations, and closed-loop decision-making. We will discuss practical frameworks for implementing digital threads and highlight ROI-driven success stories from discrete and process manufacturing. Participants will walk away with a clear understanding of: The role of IoT sensors, edge computing, and AI in transforming factory floors Use cases that demonstrate measurable gains in OEE, sustainability, and workforce efficiency A roadmap for integrating IoT into existing manufacturing systems without disrupting operations This talk is essential for manufacturing leaders looking to accelerate their Industry 4.0 journey and future-proof their operations through connected intelligence.
