KUKA to present new robots and software at MACH 2026

KUKA Robotics to unveil advanced automation solutions at MACH. The UK’s premier manufacturing event, MACH 2026, will host KUKA Robotics, showcasing its latest robotics and automation technologies. Industry professionals are invited to explore KUKA’s innovative solutions at stands 18-530 and 17-370, promising transformative advancements in industrial automation.


KUKA Robotics is poised to make a significant impact at MACH 2026, the UK’s foremost event for the manufacturing sector, with its groundbreaking robotics and automation solutions. Scheduled at the NEC Birmingham from 20–24 April, this year’s exhibition promises unprecedented scale and innovation.

KUKA invites industry professionals to experience leading-edge robotic automation, software innovation, and exceptional customer service at stands 18-530 and 17-370. With over 125 years of engineering experience, KUKA continues to redefine industrial automation, offering manufacturers a comprehensive range of cost-effective solutions. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore KUKA’s extensive portfolio of high-performance robots and a suite of software and digital tools that facilitate seamless automation integration.

KUKA’s presence at MACH 2026 will emphasise how its advanced technologies enable manufacturers to enhance efficiency, improve product quality, reduce operational costs, and ultimately boost profitability, making automation accessible, scalable, and future-proof.

At the heart of KUKA’s stand (18-530) will be a display of its latest-generation industrial robots, demonstrating the precision, speed, and adaptability demanded by modern production lines. From compact six-axis models for intricate tasks to heavy-duty robots for significant payloads, KUKA’s offerings reflect its commitment to quality and versatility.

Complementing its robot range, KUKA will showcase the iiQKA.OS2 robot operating system, my.KUKA online portal, and demonstrate iiQoT remote condition monitoring and iiQWorks engineering software platforms. Available via KUKA’s digital sphere, these tools allow intuitive programming, simulation, and integration, reducing commissioning time and providing real-time performance insights for smarter factory floor decision-making.

A live demonstration of KUKA’s advanced welding capabilities will feature a desktop friction welding machine designed specifically for the show. Additionally, Visual Components will co-exhibit with KUKA, illustrating how manufacturing simulation and offline robot programming can bridge the gap between concept and reality.

Visual Components will present solutions enabling manufacturers to explore production concepts and test scenarios in a virtual environment, reducing errors, enhancing planning accuracy, and shortening commissioning time.

Alongside its exhibits, KUKA will contribute to the show’s educational programme, offering hands-on experiences at stand 17-370 in the Education & Development Zone. Visitors can test the KUKA.AMR Fleet software, designed to control AMRs and transform intralogistics through intelligent material transport within complex production environments.

KUKA will also provide a live robot demonstration in the Automation & Robotics Knowledge Hub, offering insights into how advanced robotics can enhance consistency, quality, and throughput in manufacturing processes while addressing waste and labour challenges.

KUKA Robotics is honoured to participate in MACH 2026, eager to engage with industry professionals. Whether beginning an automation journey or seeking to advance operations, KUKA’s team will be available to discuss challenges and demonstrate tailored solutions that deliver tangible results.
