Award | Fives Landis Won the "RINGER TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION Award" for ITS ADVANCED CBN GRINDING Machine
Suzhou, China, June 25 – Hosted by Ringier Industrial Media, the 2026 AI Intelligent Manufacturing Innovation Summit and Ringier Technology Innovation Awards Ceremony was grandly held in Suzhou on June 25. Fives Landis has claimed the 2026 Ringier Technology Innovation Award for the Metalworking Industry with its LT2HHe Twin-Wheelhead CBN Crankshaft Grinding Machine, a product distinguished by pioneering technological innovations and extensive proven real-world industrial applications.
This latest high-profile industry honor comes hot on the heels of another major recognition secured by Fives Landis back in April this year, when the brand took home the inaugural Jinfeng Award for Grinding Machine Product Innovation.
With a legacy spanning over two decades, the Ringier Technology Innovation Awards have established themselves as a key benchmark for assessing technological innovation capabilities within the metalworking sector. This year, a total of 72 enterprises submitted 94 innovative products and technologies for the innovation awards, covering a wide spectrum of categories including metal cutting machine tools, metal forming machinery & special processing equipment, CAD/CAM/CAE software and CNC systems, cutting tools and abrasives, cutting fluids and lubrication units, measuring instruments and systems, functional components and accessories, as well as automation and Industry 4.0 solutions.
After rigorous evaluation and fierce competition, only 40 innovative products and technologies stood out as final winners. The Fives Landis LT2HHe Twin-Wheelhead CBN Crankshaft Grinding Machine claimed the top honour in the Metal Cutting Machine Tools category.

Large crankshafts as core power components for heavy-duty equipment including marine vessels and power generator sets. Driven by the global trend toward larger, higher-power heavy machinery, precision machining of ultra-long crankshafts measuring 4.5 meters and above has long been plagued by persistent challenges: insufficient machine rigidity, poor thermal stability and frequent grinding defects. High-volume precision production capability has thus become a critical bottleneck holding back industry advancement.
Leveraging decades of hydrostatic and direct-drive technology expertise, Fives' R&D team has moved beyond traditional machine tool design conventions and experience-based manufacturing approaches. Through extensive operational testing, parameter optimization, and extreme load validation, the team has successfully translated cutting-edge technologies into industrial mass-production scenarios, delivering reliable machine solutions to support the independent production of high-end crankshafts.
Features of LT2HHe:
- Full hydrostatic core system, ensuring sub-micron precision.
- Linear motor direct drive, streamlined mechanical transmission
- Intelligent digital process management, moving beyond experience-dependent production.
- Exceptional flexibility, flexible coverage for extra-long workpieces (up to 5meters).
As a proven crankshaft processing solution, Fives Landis LT2HHe has rapidly gained adoption among China’s leading crankshaft manufacturers through its technical strengths. Liaoning 518 has placed additional orders for new machine to build its own crankshaft production line, achieving stable mass production. New machine purchased by Jinchai Power is also scheduled to go into operation soon, further validating the model’s technical compatibility and market recognition within the heavy-duty power equipment sector. Backed by solid technical performance and reliable delivery track record, LT2HHe continues to earn the trust and preference of leading customers.
From technology development to commercial deployment and now industry recognition, Fives Landis LT2HHe has completed the full cycle from innovation to industrial application, continuously advancing the development of the high-end crankshaft supply chain.
