IMTS showcases the latest technologies to solve today's manufacturing challenges and enable readiness for tomorrow's opportunities. Automation is foundational to modern manufacturing, and these nine resources cover 79 automation solutions spanning every stage of production, from stock material to shipped parts. Register Now1. 7 Advanced Machining Automation Technologies Many automation solutions are added to existing equipment, but today's machine tools increasingly implement automation as a core capability rather than just a feature. From multitasking platforms to adaptive controls and automation-ready designs, these seven technologies help manufacturers increase productivity, reduce manual intervention, and expand what's possible with a single machine. 2. 10 Tool Change and Management Automation Solutions Tool management automation keeps machines cutting, reduces downtime, and improves consistency. From automated tool changes and presetting to smart tracking and robotic tool handling, these 10 technologies help manufacturers maximize spindle uptime and get more from every cutting tool. 3. 10 Robotic Solutions Automation is evolving fast, and today's robotic systems are more capable, flexible, and easier to integrate than ever. From AI-powered vision and machine tending to mobile cobots and advanced end-of-arm tooling, discover the technologies reshaping machining. 4. 10 Material Handling & Unattended Operation Systems Unattended production depends on more than keeping the spindle turning. From feeding stock and exchanging pallets to collecting finished parts and moving work between processes, these 10 material handling systems help manufacturers extend run time, reduce manual intervention, and keep production flowing. 5. 9 Digital Automations From ERP and MES platforms to machine monitoring, digital twins, and production analytics, today's software gives manufacturers real-time visibility across the shop. Discover solutions that improve scheduling, optimize toolpaths, reduce downtime, and connect data from design to delivery. 6. 10 Workholding Automation Innovations Automated machining begins with securing the part accurately and consistently. From zero-point systems and powered clamps to palletized fixtures and sensor-equipped chucks, these 10 workholding innovations support faster setups, reliable part transfer, and unattended production. 7. From Clean to Complete: 4 Automation Solutions for Secondary Processes Explore solutions for parts washing, deburring, laser marking, and assembly that reduce bottlenecks, improve consistency, strengthen traceability, and deliver finished parts faster with less manual effort. 8. From Waste to Workflow: 9 Automated Scrap and Coolant Solutions Keep chips moving and coolant performing at their best with automated mixing, IoT monitoring, high-pressure delivery, advanced filtration, chip conveyors, briquetters, and mist collection systems that reduce downtime, extend tool life, and improve shop efficiency. 9. 10 Quality Control and Inspection Automation Solutions Automated inspection helps manufacturers maintain quality without slowing production. From in-process probing and robotic measurement to AI vision and connected quality data, these 10 technologies identify problems earlier, improve traceability, and support unattended operation.
