Produced by the Association for Manufacturing Technology, the event is expected to host over 86,000 registrants and 1,800 exhibitors across 1.2 million square feet. Key technological focuses include industrial AI, automation, additive manufacturing, digital twins, and connected production systems. Recent preparations highlight several major technology showcases. FANUC America, collaborating with NVIDIA, Google Cloud, and AWS, plans to demonstrate ‘Physical AI’, enabling robotic systems to perceive and adapt to real-world manufacturing environments. ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions will present measurement technologies, including multisensor coordinate measuring machines, 3D scanners, and AI-assisted analysis software. Amada Machinery Co., Ltd. will participate under the theme ‘AMADA ONE’, featuring the world premiere of a vertical ultra-fast band saw. DMG MORI will host Chicago Innovation Days, while JTEKT Machinery Americas plans to showcase seven products to address labor shortages and geopolitical risks. Additional participants joining the lineup include Morris Group International, which intends to showcase innovations in machining and process improvement across three booths, featuring technology from industry leaders such as Tsugami and Okuma. Furthermore, Japanese company eve autonomy will exhibit its ‘eve auto’ service. This technology focuses on automating on-site logistics through indoor and outdoor autonomous transport, utilizing self-driving technology to enable unmanned transport in various environments, including at night or during rain, to address labor shortages in the manufacturing and logistics sectors. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-10: IMTS 2026 to showcase manufacturing and automation innovations Companies including Morris Group International and eve autonomy will showcase machining, automation, and autonomous logistics technologies at IMTS 2026 in Chicago. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/imts-2026-to-showcase-manufacturing-and-automation-innovations ### 2026-09-08: Manufacturing leaders prepare for AMB 2026 and IMTS 2026 exhibitions Manufacturing leaders are preparing for major industry shows, with JTEKT announcing a suite of machining and automation products for IMTS 2026 and others hosting networking sessions at AMB 2026. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/manufacturing-leaders-prepare-for-amb-2026-and-imts-2026-exhibitions ### 2026-09-03: Manufacturing leaders prepare for IMTS 2026 technology showcases Leading manufacturers including FANUC, ZEISS, and DMG MORI will showcase automation, Physical AI, and precision measurement technologies at IMTS 2026 in Chicago. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/manufacturing-leaders-prepare-for-imts-2026-technology-showcases ### 2026-08-31: Manufacturing technology trends to feature at IMTS 2026 Amada Machinery and the broader manufacturing industry are preparing for IMTS 2026 in Chicago, focusing on AI-driven metrology, autonomous inspection, and advanced automated production solutions. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/manufacturing-technology-trends-to-feature-at-imts-2026 ### 2026-08-26: IMTS 2026 to showcase physical AI and additive manufacturing IMTS 2026 in Chicago will showcase cutting-edge manufacturing, including FANUC’s physical AI with NVIDIA and additive manufacturing applications for the U.S. defense industrial base. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/imts-2026-to-showcase-physical-ai-and-additive-manufacturing ### 2026-08-12: IMTS 2026 to showcase manufacturing innovations in Chicago Industry leaders MachiningCloud and FOBA Laser Marking + Engraving are preparing for the 2026 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago, highlighting digital tools and laser marking innovations. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/imts-2026-to-showcase-manufacturing-innovations-in-chicago ### 2026-08-10: IMTS 2026 to showcase industrial AI and automation in Chicago IMTS 2026 will be held in Chicago from Sept. 14–19, focusing on industrial AI, automation, and additive manufacturing with over 1,800 exhibitors expected at McCormick Place. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/imts-2026-to-showcase-industrial-ai-and-automation-in-chicago ### 2026-08-04: Tezmaksan showcases CubeBOX CNC automation at IMTS 2026 in Chicago Tezmaksan and Dynamic Machine will present CubeBOX modular CNC automation at IMTS 2026 in Chicago, highlighting flexible robotic solutions to boost productivity and reduce manual handling. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tezmaksan-showcases-cubebox-cnc-automation-at-imts-2026-in-chicago --- Cite as: IMTS 2026 manufacturing technology exhibition.
