Suzhou – – September 30, 2026 -- Chinese robotics firm AGILINK has shipped more than 15,000 dexterous robotic hands since spinning out from AGIBOT in January 2026, a scale-up that coincides with a demonstration of its OmniHand 3 Ultra performing traditional Suzhou embroidery.

Master craftswoman trains robotic hand on silk-thread techniques

Fu Xianghong, a Suzhou embroidery master, taught the OmniHand 3 Ultra foundational stitching skills including separating silk threads, threading a needle, stretching fabric on an embroidery hoop and stitching. Silk thread bends, slips and changes shape with slight contact variation, requiring one finger to isolate strands while others maintain tension, and opposing fingertips to twist thread without losing grip.

Hubei – September 28, 2026 -- Hubei Nature New Material Sanitary Appliance Co., Ltd. (NAITRON) has integrated PLC-based digital controls with its patented thermosetting molding technology (TMT) to manufacture granite composite kitchen sinks, targeting more consistent quality and higher-volume output for OEM and ODM clients worldwide.

Digital controls cut reliance on manual production steps

The company's molding system uses automated material dosing and an independent intelligent temperature management system, reducing labor costs and human error across the production line. NAITRON's TMT technology distributes particles evenly across both sink surfaces and molds each unit through a single compression process, eliminating joints or spliced sections that could cause deformation or cracking.

Chicago – – September 12, 2026 -- Hiperbaric will exhibit its Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) equipment line at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) 2026, running September 14 to 19 at McCormick Place, with the company positioned at Booth 236028 in the North Building, Level 3.

Providence, R.I. – September 08, 2026 -- Laser Research Optics has launched a full line of CO2 beam delivery optics engineered for 10.6 μm lasers rated between 25 and 200 watts, targeting metal cutting, welding, engraving, plastic, textile, and medical laser applications.

New Optics Line Covers Sizes From 0.6 Inches to 3 Inches in Diameter

The product range includes beam combiners and splitters, ZnSe output couplers, front mirrors, silicon and molybdenum turning mirrors, silicon and copper phase retardation reflectors, and germanium end- and zero phase-reflectors.
