Mitsubishi Electric US Industrial Automation will bring its connected manufacturing vision to IMTS 2026, taking place September 14-19 in Chicago, with live demonstrations spanning CNCs, robotics, PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA technologies.

The Main Exhibit

Located at Booth #338136 in the South Hall, the exhibit will demonstrate how integrated CNC, robotics, automation, and digital technologies work together to help manufacturers improve performance, increase flexibility, and build a foundation for future growth. Attendees can expect live machine tool demonstrations, robotics applications, and digitalization solutions, including technologies from Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions Inc.

Machine tool builders and technology partners will also demonstrate real-world applications at the booth, including Citizen Miyano, Expand Machinery, and Porta Solutions. The demonstrations highlight how machine builders leverage Mitsubishi Electric CNCs, robotics, and automation platforms to create differentiated machines.

"Manufacturers today need more than products. They need a partner that can help them connect technologies, reduce complexity, and adapt to changing business needs."

— Nicholas Giacomino, Sr. Manager, Global Industry Solutions (machine tool)

A Single-Source Approach

The company's pitch rests on integration rather than individual components. Mitsubishi Electric US, Industrial Automation brings more than 50 years of machine tool experience, offering integrated expertise across CNC, robotics, controls, and digitalization — products, application knowledge, service, and support from a single source. For OEMs and manufacturers, that consolidation can reduce the complexity of engineering, training, and support.

"Mitsubishi Electric US, Industrial Automation's approach is centered around helping customers achieve meaningful business results."

— Scott Strache, Sr. Product Manager (mechatronics)

Strache points to throughput, machine development, uptime, and automation adoption as the outcomes the technology is meant to serve.

Investing in the Next Generation

Beyond the main floor, the company will participate in the IMTS Smartforce Student Summit, where students gain hands-on exposure to industrial automation and robotics through instructor-led training and live demonstrations. Students and educators can visit Booth #211500 for complimentary automation and robotics learning experiences designed to connect classroom learning with real-world manufacturing applications — and to introduce career paths in advanced manufacturing.
