Gloucestershire-based
Renishaw, the global engineering technologies company, will showcase its advanced manufacturing technologies and champion engineering careers at
MACH 2026, taking place 20-24 April 2026 at the NEC, Birmingham (Hall 19, Stand 42). Visitors will find solutions to improve process control, productivity, and long-term competitiveness.
Taking centre stage and under demonstration, will be the new Equator-X dual method gauge with intuitive Modus IM software, showing how the system measures parts on the shopfloor and delivers immediate feedback to production teams. Designed for high-speed shopfloor gauging, the Equator-X system supports inspection at the point of manufacture, reduces scrap, and enables fast, closed-loop adjustments to maintain consistent part quality.
Visitors can also explore Renishaw Central, a connected manufacturing data platform, which captures and presents real-time production and measurement data. By improving visibility across the shop floor, the platform supports informed decision-making, enhanced process control, and consistent manufacturing performance. In addition, Renishaw will also highlight its additive manufacturing (AM) technologies for producing complex, high-integrity metal components, helping manufacturers reduce material waste, consolidate assemblies, and increase design flexibility.
Michael Duffield, Renishaw’s UK general manager, said: “
MACH 2026 provides the perfect opportunity for us to meet with customers and discuss how we can support their journey towards a more productive, resilient and future-ready manufacturing operation. UK manufacturers are navigating a more complex operating environment, shifting focus from volume growth towards cost control, better resilience and future-proofing. By combining measurement, automation and connected data, we help manufacturers enhance control, reduce costs and build confidence in their processes.”
Alongside its industrial technology showcase, Renishaw’s STEM Outreach team will host a dedicated education and development stand for students visiting the exhibition (Hall 17, stand 380). The team will highlight how STEM skills can lead to rewarding engineering careers and will give visitors the chance to explore interactive STEM activities designed to spark curiosity in engineering and technology, and learn about Renishaw’s early careers opportunities, including work experience, apprenticeships, placements and graduate roles.
