MACH 2026

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.

TLM Laser at MACH 2026

At MACH 2026, TLM Laser will demonstrate how industrial laser systems integrate into modern production lines, supporting traceability, repair, fabrication, and precision processing across multiple sectors.

Representing TLM Laser at the exhibition:

• Paul Hughes – Laser Marking
• Tom Kerrigan – Laser Plastic Welding
• Tony Dain – Laser Metal Welding
• Sam Burns – TLM Job Shop Services

Whether you are reviewing marking compliance requirements, considering in-house welding capability, or evaluating subcontract laser services, our team will be available for detailed, application-led discussions.

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

Live on Stand: FOBA M1000 Laser Marking System

The FOBA M1000 will be running live throughout the exhibition, demonstrating high-precision, permanent marking on industrial components.

In today’s manufacturing environment, part traceability is no longer optional. Serialisation, data matrix codes, branding, and compliance marks must be applied consistently, accurately, and without compromising component integrity.

The FOBA M1000 delivers:

• Permanent, high-contrast marking on metals and engineering plastics
• Integrated vision alignment for flawless positioning
• Repeatable results suited to production environments
• Clean, non-contact processing with no consumables

Visitors will see how laser marking supports traceability across sectors, including aerospace, automotive, subcontract machining, medical manufacturing, and precision engineering.

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.

Why Visit Us at the Show

Manufacturers today face increasing pressure to:

• Improve traceability
• Reduce rework and scrap
• Increase throughput
• Maintain compliance
• Minimise downtime

Laser technology addresses these challenges directly.

By visiting our stand, you can expect practical conversations grounded in production reality — not theory. We focus on understanding your application first, then advising on the most appropriate technology.
