On June 20, the 7th China Machine Tool Festival, themed "Awareness · Breakthrough · Symbiosis," came to a successful close at the Handemo Smart Factory in Tengzhou. After a full day of live demonstrations, technical salons, business matching, and interactive experiences, this seven-year-old industry event delivered a meaningful blend of technical value and practical insight to over a thousand manufacturing professionals.

Live Demos – AI in Action

This year’s festival moved far beyond traditional product displays. The core focus was real‑time, hands‑on machining demonstrations. Handemo’s full lineup of AI‑equipped machines – turn‑mill composites, 5‑axis cradle machining centers, and HMC series horizontal machining centers – ran continuously throughout the day. Visitors watched live as the self‑developed AI large model performed automatic drawing‑based programming, real‑time thermal error compensation, and tool wear prediction. Shop owners and process engineers saw with their own eyes how ordinary operators, guided by the AI system, efficiently machined high‑precision complex parts – such as humanoid robot joints and AI liquid cooling components – dispelling doubts about the stability and usability of domestic intelligent machines.

Full‑Chain Smart Solutions

Beyond standalone machines, the festival showcased an integrated ecosystem: intelligent machine tools, composite robots, smart tool cabinets, and digital twin workshops – clearly illustrating a complete upgrade path for SMEs, from single‑machine retrofits to fully unattended smart factories. On‑site engineers provided one‑on‑one process consultations, test‑cut customer parts, and offered actionable upgrade strategies to address common pain points: labor shortages, unstable accuracy, and high investment costs.

Industry Salons – Real Cases, Real Insights

Expert‑led salons delved into digital factory construction, low‑cost AI machine adoption, and import substitution with domestic equipment. Real‑world transformation cases from leading machining shops were shared, sparking lively discussions and facilitating multiple supply‑demand partnerships.

A Festival with a Human Touch

The event balanced professional exchange with a relaxed, interactive atmosphere – engaging checkpoints, games, and giveaways attracted many participants, breaking the stereotype of dull industrial exhibitions. Visitors from other regions noted that the festival focused on practical results, not empty concepts – a truly valuable hands‑on platform.

Looking Ahead

The 7th China Machine Tool Festival is not an end, but a new starting point for industrial symbiosis. Handemo will continue to invest in AI‑driven machine tool R&D, leveraging its full industrial chain advantages to deliver high‑rigidity, cost‑effective precision equipment. We remain committed to building open platforms for technical exchange and advancing domestic high‑end machine tools. We look forward to welcoming you again at next year’s China Machine Tool Festival – together, we move into the new track of smart manufacturing.
