Manufacturing technology trends to feature at IMTS 2026

The manufacturing sector is preparing for major upcoming exhibitions, including the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) 2026 in Chicago and AMB 2026 in Stuttgart. These events are expected to showcase the transition of metrology from a separate quality function into an integrated component of manufacturing intelligence through AI-assisted inspection, advanced robotics, and autonomous inspection systems.

Amada Machinery Co., Ltd. has announced its participation in IMTS 2026, scheduled for September 14–19, 2026, in Chicago. Under the theme ‘AMADA ONE’, the company will present a range of cutting, grinding, sheet metal, and spring forming solutions. Key highlights include the world premiere of a vertical ultra-fast band saw and the PCSAW-430AXII pulse cutting band saw, designed to address global labor and skill shortages through increased automation and digitalization.
