New opportunities for technological sovereignty: Ulyanovsk Machine Tools to unveil a robotic cell with two CNC machining centers and an industrial robot

As one of Russia's leading manufacturers of CNC turning and milling centers, Ulyanovsk Machine Tools, is currently fulfilling the strategic mission of ensuring the nation's technological sovereignty.

At this year's show, the company will showcase a robotic cell for the first time, based on two machining centers – a turning center and a milling center – equipped with different Russian CNC systems, along with an industrial robot.

Ulyanovsk Machine Tools was established in 2015 as part of a German-Japanese concern. In 2022, following the foreign investor's withdrawal from the country, the plant ceased operations. In February 2024, by decree of Russian President, Vladimir Putin, the plant was placed under state control, and by September of that same year, the company had resumed production. In February 2026, the plant's first machine was entered into the register of domestically manufactured products.

Today, Ulyanovsk Machine Tools is a leading Russian manufacturer of CNC turning and milling machines and machining centers, offering high precision, rigidity, reliability, and operational efficiency. The company leverages a unique technological foundation – it is one of the most advanced plants in the world – and applies only the highest quality components. Following the transfer of the plant to the management of Rosimushchestvo (Federal Agency for State Property Management), the company not only maintained all the existing quality standards but also tightened them further on.

On February 24, 2026, the CNC milling machining center, DMC 1035 model, was included in the register of Russian industrial products of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation. The product was assigned registration number 10790314.

“Granting Russian-made status to our products opens new opportunities for our customers, who receive equipment with a verified level of localization,” said Roman Bukarev, General Director. “A tremendous amount of work has gone into this. We developed our in-house engineering and process documentation, fully integrated a Russian CNC system into the machine design, replaced imported components with Russian-made equivalents, and established in-house machining of all structural parts. Our primary objective is to provide Russian manufacturers with high-quality, advanced equipment, thereby contributing to import substitution and the achievement of the technological sovereignty, not only in machine tool manufacturing but in all key industries of Russian industry.”

The DMC 1035 machine can operate at high speeds without interruption and produce parts with micron-level precision: accurate to within a few microns.

The company is now in the process of certifying a second machine – the СТХ 510 – as domestically produced. “This machine has a higher level of localization. Moreover, we possess a very strong technological foundation for machining: we are taking on the machining of certain components ourselves, such as pulleys for the belt drive to the spindle, spindle shaft machining, and others. This requires thorough work from our design and engineering departments,” emphasized the general director.

The plant is actively adopting domestic CNC systems for its machines and is working on robotization and automation projects for its equipment. The results of this work will be on display at Metalloobrabotka 2026.

Roman Bukarev also highlighted the importance of participating in Metalloobrabotka, “This is a landmark event for the machine tool industry. After several years of being idle, the plant is back in operation, gaining momentum, and we are ready to show our capabilities at the exhibition. At our stand, we will present a robotic cell based on the two new Russian machines – a turning center and a milling center – featuring Russian CNC systems and an industrial robot. For us, this is yet another opportunity to prove that we are capable of manufacturing high-quality Russian machine tools. And, of course, we hope to expand our circle of clients and customers at the show. We would be delighted to see you all at our stand!”
