From April 21 to 25, 2026, the 14th China CNC Machine Tool Fair (CCMT2026) was held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. As one of the largest and most influential professional machine tool exhibitions in Asia, this year‘s event was themed “Digital · Interconnected · Smart Manufacturing,” bringing together over 2,000 industry leaders from around the world. Spanning 200,000 square meters of exhibition space, the fair showcased the forefront technologies and latest achievements in the global CNC machine tool industry.
This year's exhibition coincided with the opening year of the 15th Five‑Year Plan period, during which high‑end, intelligent, and green manufacturing have become the key themes of industry development. Positioned at the forefront of the sector, Shanghai MAKA focused on the precision machining needs of national strategic industries, including aerospace, new energy vehicles, and high‑end mold making. Together with its German subsidiary MAKA Systems GmbH, the company made a major debut at the show with the BC570 series 5‑axis gantry machining center, attracting strong interest from professional visitors across aerospace, rail transit, marine, new energy vehicle, and other industries.
The MAKA 5‑axis precision CNC machining center series highlighted at this event is specifically developed for aerospace lightweight materials and is widely used for high‑efficiency, precision machining of large workpieces in aerospace, rail transit, marine, and other industries.

Mature application cases
This series offers customized production solutions, with precision and dimensions tailored to customer requirements. It has been successfully deployed at leading domestic aviation manufacturers including Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC), Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (SAMC), AVIC Composite, CNBM Aviation, and COTESA, demonstrating stable and high‑efficiency performance in the machining of large composite structural components.
During the exhibition, technical experts from MAKA Germany and senior engineers from Shanghai MAKA jointly staffed the booth, delivering multiple in‑depth technical presentations on the BC570 series‘ applications in 5‑axis machining of aerospace lightweight materials, dry cutting of composites, and automated production line integration. Several aviation manufacturers and high‑end equipment suppliers reached preliminary cooperation intentions on site.
CCMT2026 has come to a successful close. Throughout the exhibition, we received trust and recognition from our visitors, while also gaining clearer insights into industry trends and future directions.
The close of the exhibition is not an end, but a new beginning. Looking ahead, Shanghai MAKA will continue to build on the momentum of this event, focusing on 5‑axis machining technology for aerospace lightweight materials and continuously optimizing the BC570 series to deliver more efficient, stable, and intelligent total solutions to our customers.
We extend our sincere gratitude to every colleague, customer, and partner who visited our booth, and to CCMT2026 for providing such a professional platform for exchange. Let us join hands—driven by smart manufacturing and innovation—to embark on a new journey in the high‑end manufacturing industry!
