While the large-scale machinery always draws a crowd, the real story of MACH 2026 is integration. The following exhibitors are not just showing tools; they are showing how UK manufacturers can reclaim their margins through precision and automation.
The 16-Hour to 30-Minute Breakthrough: Fives Landis (Stand 19-520)
One of the most dramatic stories at the show, Fives Landis is unveiling the TTG 3000. Designed and built in the UK with AMPI funding, this machine is a game-changer for the high-value bearings market.
The Impact: It collapses a process that previously required nine machines and 16 hours of grinding across two sites into a single 30-minute run.
The Technical Edge: The machine features perfectly symmetrical castings for thermal stability, ensuring tolerances stay within a couple of microns.
Automating the ‘Post-Production’ Bottleneck: CREAT3D (Stand 17-420)
CREAT3D has partnered with AM-Flow to solve the new bottleneck in Additive Manufacturing: what happens after the part is made.
The Solution: An automated system that identifies, inspects, and bags parts using modular technology like AM-Vision and AM-Sort.
The Benefit: It allows manufacturers to scale 3D printing and traditional production (like injection moulding) without adding significant manual labour costs.
Collaborative Efficiency: Comau (Stand 18-441)
Comau is bringing advanced ergonomics to the shop floor. Their MATE-XT GO is a mechanical, battery-free exoskeleton designed to reduce muscle strain during repetitive overhead tasks. They will also showcase MyCo, a family of collaborative robots designed to work safely alongside human operators to optimise production space.
Energy Savings via the ‘Digital Twin’: Hexagon (Stand 19-40)
With energy costs under the microscope, Hexagon is demonstrating how metrology and Digital Twin technology can simulate production to identify energy waste and scrap risks before a single machine is switched on.
Data Sovereignty: Fanuc UK (Stand 18-310)
Fanuc is showcasing its Field System, an open platform that allows manufacturers to collect and analyse data from all machines on the shop floor, regardless of the brand. This move toward “Data Sovereignty” allows for real-time intelligence without vendor lock-in.
The Hydrogen Economy: Renishaw (Stand 19-300)
Renishaw is positioning itself as a key enabler for the green energy transition, showcasing precision metrology and probing systems specifically designed for the high-tolerance manufacturing of fuel cell plates and electrolysers.
Large-Scale Additive: Caracol (Stand 17-510)
Move beyond small brackets with Caracol’s Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM). Using robotic arms, they can 3D print composite structures several metres long, such as aerospace tooling, in a fraction of the time required for traditional casting.
Lifecycle Management: Mazak (Stand 20-350)
Yamazaki Mazak is focusing on the circular economy with iCONNECT. This digital service uses real-time remote monitoring to predict machine failure, extending the life of the asset and moving maintenance from “Break-Fix” to “Continuous Performance.”
