Visitors to AMB in Stuttgart will be able to experience the latest developments in the fields of control and drive technology, robotics and machine tools. At the Fanuc stand, there will be a particular focus on artificial intelligence and digital technologies, which are becoming increasingly important for industrial applications.

Large-format automotive components with Class A surfaces can now be produced directly in the injection mould without downstream painting or coating. At the Surface Innovation Days 2026, more than 300 visitors saw how the clearmelt process combines polyurethane flooding, film integration and injection moulding in a continuous series-production process.

At AMB 2026, Fehlmann will present the automated Picomax 550 Pro with the Erowa Robot Compact 80, the high-precision 5-axis machining center Versa 745, the new generation of the Picomax 56 mill, and the compact and robust Picomax 21-M. The focus is on cost-effective manufacturing solutions for single-part and small-batch production, as well as flexible automation concepts for increased productivity.

Horn used Mach 2026 to spotlight a broad wave of tooling developments aimed at more reliable chip control, greater rigidity and lower cost per edge. From sintered chip-breaker geometries in miniature inserts to new grooving and parting-off systems for deeper cuts, the latest additions show how tool design is being refined for process stability, surface quality and economic machining.

A compact 5-axis machining platform, 100-tool capacity and automated pallet handling are helping Avant Manufacturing expand high-mix, low-volume production while maximising output from limited shop floor space.

At Plast 2026 in Milan, Uniloy will present the all-electric UCS 14.ED continuous extrusion shuttle blow moulding machine. The compact double-station system combines energy-efficient drive technology, industry 4.0 connectivity, integrated machine vision and quality-control solutions for HDPE container production.

At Interplas 2026, Arburg will spotlight its new electric Allrounder Trend machines for the first time in the UK, combining cost-efficient injection moulding with practical advances in automation, digitalisation and sustainability.

From 2 to 5 June 2026, FIP (France Innovation Plasturgie) will once again open its doors to trade visitors in Lyon. Arburg is placing particular emphasis on France, the country where its first international subsidiary was established.

The APSX-PIM V3 from the United States is designed to close the gap between concept and production. The benchtop injection moulding machine enables prototype and small-series production of thermoplastic components without requiring companies to invest in large-scale production systems at an early stage.

At Plastpol 2026, Arburg will use its long-standing presence in Kielce to introduce its new standard electric Allrounder Trend machines to the Polish market for the first time.
