From September 20 to 23, the 2026 World Manufacturing Convention was held in Hefei, Anhui. Demonstrations such as humanoid robot pot-throwing, inspection robot patrols and vertical take-off and landing of electric cargo UAVs made concentrated appearances. Embodied intelligence and intelligent manufacturing became the highlights of the event. The intensive display of manufacturing innovation achievements has significantly raised attention to the demand for precision process equipment such as small vacuum defoaming mixers.

As a bellwether exhibition for the manufacturing industry, the World Manufacturing Convention showcases innovative achievements including embodied intelligent robots and flexible production lines, reflecting the transformation of manufacturing from single-point automation to systematic intelligence. The deployment of humanoid robots and collaborative robots on production lines in turn drives process upgrades in the manufacturing of robot components themselves. The precision manufacturing of core parts such as motors, reducers and sensors has attracted greater attention.

Robot components are usually manufactured in single-piece and small-batch modes. Materials such as epoxy resin and silicone used in motor stator potting and sensor adhesive bonding feature high solid content and high viscosity. Residual air bubbles will reduce the insulation performance of potting compounds or weaken the strength of adhesive layers. The characteristics of small-batch and multi-variety production require equipment to balance processing capacity and flexibility. SIENOX small vacuum defoaming mixer combines planetary revolution and rotation motion with vacuum environment. Materials obtain centrifugal force from revolution and shear force from rotation inside the container at the same time. Vacuum negative pressure facilitates bubble discharge. It is suitable for mixing and defoaming treatment of high-viscosity materials such as epoxy resin and silicone, covering laboratory R&D and small-batch trial production scenarios, helping component enterprises stabilize batch consistency of adhesive liquid.

From the perspective of industrial development, the integration of embodied intelligence and precision manufacturing is accelerating. Directions such as flexible production lines and humanoid robots displayed at the exhibition rely on stable and controllable component manufacturing processes. As basic equipment to guarantee process consistency, vacuum defoaming equipment sees rising deployment demand along with production line construction.

Innovation in intelligent manufacturing is accelerating, and equipment demand in precision manufacturing segments keeps growing. Defoaming equipment capable of stably handling high-viscosity materials will be more widely applied in robot component manufacturing. Manufacturers of small-sized equipment with planetary vacuum defoaming capability are expected to secure more supporting opportunities amid the expansion of the embodied intelligence industrial chain.
