MACH 2026

MACH is the UK’s premier manufacturing technologies exhibition, organised by the Manufacturing Technologies Association (MTA). Held biennially at the NEC Birmingham, the event attracts thousands of engineers, production managers, and technical decision-makers seeking practical solutions to improve efficiency, quality, and competitiveness.

About MACH 2026

MACH 2026 showcases the full spectrum of production engineering technology. The exhibition spans machine tools, robotics, additive manufacturing, metrology, tooling, software, and automation systems, all operating in a live, working environment.

For manufacturers under pressure to improve throughput, maintain compliance, and control costs, MACH provides a rare opportunity to compare technologies side-by-side and engage directly with technical specialists who understand real-world production challenges.

Live on Stand: Alpha Laser ALO Precision Metal Welding

Alongside marking, we will be showcasing the Alpha Laser ALO metal welding system.

In fabrication and toolmaking environments, distortion control and precision are critical. The ALO system delivers controlled heat input, allowing accurate weld placement with minimal thermal impact on surrounding material.

This makes it particularly suited to:

  • Tool and die repair
  • Modification of high-value components
  • Fine-detail welding on precision parts
  • Low-heat joining where dimensional stability is essential

Beyond the Demonstration Systems

While the FOBA M1000 and Alpha Laser ALO will be live on stand, MACH also provides the opportunity to discuss broader laser capabilities including:

Laser Plastic Welding

For automotive, electronics, and medical device manufacturers seeking hermetic, clean, and repeatable polymer joining solutions.

TLM Job Shop Services

Ideal for companies requiring subcontract laser marking or processing without immediate capital investment.

Our team can help assess feasibility, ROI, and integration pathways for businesses considering moving from traditional processes to laser-based solutions.
