IMTS 2022

Yeah, there are going to be fewer exhibitors than typical IMTS shows. You'll probably even see some unclaimed booth space. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't go. In fact, this might be the best IMTS you'll ever have the chance to attend, especially if you have an interest in automation technology, motion control and precision mechanical components. As in years past, Hannover Messe USA will be co-located with IMTS. The Hannover Messe pavilion will be located in the East (Lakeside) building of Chicago's McCormick Place, along with the IMTS Mechanical Components pavilion. Power transmission and motion control with a view: what could be better?

The Show Must Go On...Somehow

Normally at this time of year we talk a lot about trade shows. We go to manufacturing and engineering events because that's where technology-oriented companies often unveil their innovations. Like many of you, we want to see that technology in person, talk to the experts who created it and better understand how it fits into the overall manufacturing and engineering landscape. One of our most important missions is learning about that information and sharing it with all of you.

Unfortunately, the planet had other ideas this year and we continue to conduct business on laptops, smartphones and Zoom meetings for the foreseeable future.

What was once targeted specifically toward the machine tool and metalworking industries, IMTS 2014 in Chicago spent a great deal of time and resources on automation, controls, mechanical components, self-diagnostics and an increase in productivity on the shop floor.

Why MDA Matters

Most of you probably think you know what IMTS is about—machine tools, cutting tools, and various manufacturing processes. And if you stick to the North, South and West halls, you’ll be mostly right. But there’s a substantial group of exhibitors in the East building that are dedicated to automation, motion control and mechanical components.

IANA and the Increasing Relevance of IMTS

Many of you probably think of IMTS as just a machine tool show. Of course, it’s hard not to. With the majority of the show focused on metalworking equipment, tooling and supplies, there’s no doubt that IMTS is a machine tool show. But this year, the show has partnered with Hannover Messe to include IANA—Industrial Automation North America.
