Mitsubishi Electric will showcase its latest manufacturing technologies at the 33rd Japan International Machine Tool Fair (JIMTOF 2026), with the company set to present automation and digital solutions aimed at supporting manufacturers across the production lifecycle.
The event will take place from October 26 to 31 at Tokyo Big Sight in Tokyo, where Mitsubishi Electric will exhibit under the theme “Automating the World: Powering Continuous Innovation in Your Manufacturing”.
According to the company, its display will highlight technologies developed through work with customers, covering processes from design and prototyping through to production and maintenance.
At booth S2003 in South Hall 2, visitors will be able to see developments spanning computerized numerical controllers (CNC), electrical discharge machining (EDM), additive manufacturing and laser processing.
Mitsubishi Electric said its CNC exhibits will include AI and simulation technologies designed to streamline design and prototyping, alongside machining technologies intended to improve productivity and consistency while reducing labour requirements.
The company will also demonstrate its MG12R high-precision wire EDM and SV12P high-precision die-sinker EDM.
Mitsubishi Electric said the SV12P incorporates a new control system designed to improve dimensional accuracy and shorten machining times, while a newly developed scheduling tool will be presented to support automated machine operation and machining workflow management.
For additive manufacturing, Mitsubishi Electric will highlight its AZ Series wire-laser metal 3D printers. The systems use Directed Energy Deposition (DED) and the company’s proprietary process control technology, with commercially available welding wire used as feedstock.
Mitsubishi Electric said the approach is intended to support high-speed, high-precision additive manufacturing while making material handling more straightforward than systems using loose metal powder.
The exhibition will also feature laser-processing technologies and AI-enabled functions that Mitsubishi Electric said can support automation and reduce reliance on operator skill in demanding production processes. Electron-beam welding samples will further demonstrate applications aimed at improving component quality and reducing costs by minimising distortion and oxide formation.
Mitsubishi Electric said the technologies on display reflect its broader approach to manufacturing automation, which includes equipment, digital technologies and ongoing customer support.
Its Factory Automation Business Group provides technologies including controllers, CNCs, EDMs, laser processing machines and industrial robots, alongside service networks supporting customers globally.
