Huayan Robotics to Showcase 7-Axis Humanoid Arms at IMTS 2026 in Chicago

Chinese robotics manufacturer Huayan Robotics will exhibit at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS 2026) in Chicago from September 14 to 19, 2026. The company plans to showcase its advanced manufacturing capabilities, including welding, palletizing, CNC machine tending, vision inspection, and force control polishing.

The IMTS, a historic manufacturing technology exhibition established in 1927, is expected to host over 2,000 exhibitors and attract more than 90,000 visitors in 2026. Huayan Robotics will present its collaborative robots, including the E12-Pro welding robot with a reach of 1.8 meters and a payload capacity of 60 kg, designed for large or irregular welding tasks.

Additionally, Huayan Robotics will display its 7-axis humanoid robot arms, the HY 7 and Echo 5, which offer flexibility and obstacle avoidance in confined spaces. The company has over 20 years of experience in technology development and has implemented its collaborative robots across more than 60 process scenes in over 50 countries. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.

Editor's Note

Huayan Robotics' participation in IMTS 2026 highlights the growing trend of integrating advanced robotics into manufacturing processes. As industries seek to enhance efficiency and flexibility, the introduction of collaborative robots and humanoid arms could significantly impact production capabilities. Observers should monitor how these technologies evolve and their adoption across various sectors.
