Taizhou Machine Tool — CNC & Automation

The 22nd Taizhou Machine Tool Exhibition is a procurement-focused platform for East China’s machining ecosystem, built to compress vendor scouting, technical validation and shortlist creation into four meeting-dense days. The 2026 edition runs on March 13–16 at the Taizhou International Expo Center and, per organiser benchmarks, spans 45,000 m², gathers ≈700 exhibitors, displays ≈5,000 machines/sets and attracts ≈30,000 professional visits. With contiguous halls mapped by process (chip removal, forming, laser, automation, logistics and parts), buyers can benchmark cycle time, tolerances, surface quality, energy per part and service depth side-by-side, while aligning tooling, fixturing and metrology in the same pass. The Taizhou location—close to auto-parts, pump/valve, mold & die and appliance clusters—keeps factory calls practical, turning show traffic into RFQs and pilot installs rather than post-show email loops.

Scope spans CNC lathes and turning centers, vertical/horizontal machining centers, gantry/5-axis and high-speed milling, grinding, honing and superfinishing, EDM/WEDM, sheet-metal forming and bending, industrial automation and robotics, laser cutting/marking/welding, tools and toolholding, workholding and fixtures, measuring and metrology, fluids, coolants and filtration, CNC systems, drives and motors, air/hydraulics, and intralogistics/warehousing (AGV/AMR, racking, conveyors). Application routes reflect local demand from auto parts, mold & die, pumps/valves, household appliances, medical components and general machinery, so teams evaluate not just machine specs but the full cell—programming, tooling, gauges, chip handling and downstream logistics—under realistic takt and OEE assumptions.

Attendees include job shops and contract manufacturers, component plants (automotive, pumps/valves, appliances), mold & die houses, maintenance shops, OEMs and integrators, alongside toolmakers, metrology vendors, coolant/consumable brands, CNC/drive suppliers, automation providers, distributors and finance/leasing services. Buying delegations arrive with envelope targets for part size and material, tolerance stacks, Ra/contour specs, cycle-time goals, staffing and floor constraints, which pushes meetings straight to feasibility: spindle/torque maps, rigidity and thermal stability, probing and in-process gauging, tool life and coolant plans, automation interfaces, footprint and utility loads, CAPEX/OPEX ladders and after-sales SLAs. This transaction-oriented mix shortens time-to-RFQ and reduces integration risk before tender.

On the floor, teams can walk end-to-end machining cells: machine bases, spindles and axes with accuracy charts; ATCs and pallet systems for uptime; robots/gantries with part feeding; toolholding and cutters with wear data; coolant delivery, filtration and mist extraction; gauges, CMMs and on-machine probing for closed-loop control; plus software for CAD/CAM, DNC, nesting and OEE dashboards. Adjacent aisles cover power and drives, safety and guarding, bar feeders, chip conveyors and briquetters, racking and AGV/AMR flows. Evaluating these elements side-by-side turns a spec sheet into a cell-level decision on throughput, quality dispersion, labour content, energy per part and maintainability—so buyers leave with executable specs, supplier splits and commissioning windows.

The Taizhou International Expo Center offers multi-hall adjacency, high floor loads and reliable power for live cutting and automation demos. Its address (No. 588 Xinhai Road, Jiaojiang District) provides straightforward freight access and contractor support for heavy installs, while city-side hotel and transport links allow two-to-three-day programmes packed with demos, spec workshops and factory visits. Predictable loading docks and access windows reduce install risk for precision machines, optics and lasers, enabling credible production-grade demonstrations rather than static displays.

The exhibition is organised by Taizhou Huapu Industry & Commerce Exhibition Co., Ltd. (Huapu Exhibition). The team’s operating model blends targeted buyer recruitment across regional clusters with clear zoning and structured matchmaking, keeping conversations output-driven—cell design, tooling/kitting, acceptance tests, training and service SLAs. Post-show follow-up turns booth meetings into RFQs and pilot installs, while long-standing ties with local industry and authorities help exhibitors arrange demos, financing and operator training quickly.
