In April 2026, the 139th Canton Fair will be held in Guangzhou. This exhibition focuses on “advanced manufacturing” and will last from April 15 to May 5, and will be held in three phases.
As the first industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing exhibition area, it has become one of the most eye-catching sections of this Canton Fair, demonstrating the huge breakthroughs in China’s manufacturing industry on the road to intelligence and high-end.
Walking into the exhibition area, you feel like you are in a real “smart workshop”: robotic arms operate accurately, automated production lines collaborate efficiently, and the most advanced industrial robots and intelligent logistics equipment are eye-catching.
Here, the processing accuracy of CNC machine tools is astounding – the new five-axis CNC machine tool on display can achieve ultra-precision processing at the 0.01 mm level, which is comparable to one-tenth the width of a human hair.
Why are five-axis machine tools so advanced?
It has five degrees of freedom of motion: three linear movements up and down, left and right, and front and back, plus two sets of side and rear rotating turntables to achieve the perfect creation of complex curved surfaces.
Not only that, the on-site intelligent experience is amazing: the operator uses a handheld scanner to quickly complete the 3D sample scan, and after converting it into machine language, the AI automatically generates the processing program.
The whole process takes less than 30 minutes, and the efficiency is more than 50% higher than traditional methods.
China’s CNC machine tool industry is shifting from quantitative expansion to qualitative leap, and five-axis linkage and ultra-precision machining technology continue to make key breakthroughs.
This new product has attracted strong attention from buyers from more than 100 countries and regions, and orders have been booked for the next two months, demonstrating the strong competitiveness and market recognition of domestic high-end equipment.
In the exhibition area, advanced robots and intelligent inspection robot dogs appeared one after another.
Among them, the dexterous hand manipulator is particularly eye-catching. Each finger is equipped with a micro motor, which can achieve millisecond-level response, and its movements are flexible and stable.
The motor size continues to shrink from 10 mm to 6 mm, and its application fields range from surgical robots to industrial robots, representing a new era of embodied intelligent robot technology.
This Canton Fair further reflects the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing companies from simply selling hardware to comprehensive solutions of “hardware + software + system services”, promoting China’s manufacturing to continue to climb to the high end of the global value chain.
This model innovation not only demonstrates China’s foreign trade’s active response to new global business formats, but also demonstrates the brilliant results of intelligent upgrading of the manufacturing industry.
The industrial automation exhibition area of the 139th Canton Fair, with its “intelligent workshop” attitude, is leading China’s manufacturing industry towards an intelligent, high-end and green future track, becoming an important benchmark for the global industrial chain.
The excitement is endless and the prospects are unlimited. We look forward to more outbreaks of China’s smart manufacturing innovation.
