What does the increasing number of first releases and exhibitions indicate?, Nearly a thousand new products and technologies made their debut at the Industrial Expo
At the 23rd China International Industrial Expo, which opened on September 19th, nearly a thousand new products and technologies were showcased, including magnetic levitation laser cutting machines, educational robots, and heavy-duty robots. More than 300 new robot products were exhibited, all setting a new record in history.
In the CNC machine tool and metal processing exhibition area, the largest exhibition area comes from Siemens and Bond Laser. One is a traditional industrial giant, and the other is a leader in the domestic laser field, with exhibition areas of nearly 1000 square meters. They are the two "exhibition kings" of this year's Industrial Expo.
Li Lei, Director of the Domestic Marketing Department of Bond Laser, told reporters that the new product released by Bond at the CIIE this time is the magnetic levitation laser scanning cutting machine, with a power of up to 24000 watts, which is at the leading level in the industry, achieving a "double increase in cutting speed and thickness". The cut parts can be used in multiple manufacturing fields such as ships, automobiles, and aerospace.
At the same time, this new product uses beam shaping technology to overcome the industry pain point of laser cutting not being suitable for high reflective materials, allowing efficient laser cutting of materials such as copper and aluminum, greatly expanding the coverage of laser cutting machines and further improving performance.
Li Lei demonstrated to the visitors on the spot. In only half a minute, a brass "Peppa Pig" was cut.
In the Energy Technology and Equipment Exhibition Area, Shanghai Electric's booth occupies the "C" space in the exhibition hall. At this year's Industrial Expo, Shanghai Electric has publicly released the "Energy Carbon Smart Butler" product and zero carbon industrial park standards for the first time. This "Energy Carbon Smart Housekeeper" is built on the basis of the "Xingyun Zhihui" industrial Internet platform, and is committed to helping users control carbon, energy, carbon and cost with digital products.
It is understood that this digital intelligence fusion "carbon smart butler" has begun to be applied in Shanghai Electric Steam Turbine Factory, with an expected annual savings of more than 6 million yuan in electricity costs and carbon reduction exceeding 2100 tons/year. Meanwhile, this solution has also been applied in projects such as Yancheng, Shantou, and Taicang smart boilers.
More first releases and exhibitions come from the robot exhibition area. Every year of the Industrial Expo, the robot exhibition area is the most popular place. This year, ABB, Fanuc, Kuka, and Yaskawa Electric, the four major robot giants, have once again made a collective debut and brought a series of heavyweight new products. Among them, ABB has brought two globally launched new products, namely the automatic path planning software OptiFact and the educational robot IRB 1090. This robot is mainly used for education and training in the industrial field. In addition, ABB's newly launched products, the collaborative robots GoFa 10 and 12, and the large robot IRB 6720, also made their debut at the Industrial Expo.
In addition to the "four major families", there are also more and more debut appearances of domestic robot companies. For example, Jieka Robot has released 2.5D visual positioning technology to help collaborative robots gradually overcome the difficulties of spatial pose correction. Ding Cheng, the R&D leader of this new technology, stated that the technology is self-developed by the Jieka robot and can achieve an accuracy of 0.2mm in precise positioning mode. For example, the emerging brand Jebtech also launched its first collaborative robot at this year's Industrial Expo, announcing its entry into this field and becoming one of the manufacturers in China with limited product lines that can cover three major product lines: 6-axis multi joint robots, SCARA robots, and collaborative robots.

According to the organizer's statistics, more than 500 new products and technologies were released at the previous International Trade Fair, which means that the number of new products at this year's International Trade Fair has almost doubled. More and more premieres and exhibitions are being held at the Industrial Expo, which not only indicates that the domestic market still has strong attraction and industrial demand, but also indicates that China's industrial strength is becoming stronger, and the competition between domestic and foreign enterprises on the same stage has begun.
