As the largest robotics and automation event in the Americas, it was the ideal venue to showcase our **precision motion capabilities** to a diverse and growing audience. Our engineering team has designed many systems that integrate **air bearing stages** and **precision spindles** with automation technologies, and Automate offered the perfect platform to highlight these innovations. We’re always seeking new partnerships where our components—like **air bearing rotary tables**, **linear stages**, and high-precision assemblies—can elevate performance in demanding applications. High-Precision Rotary Tables: [which type is best?](https://blog.abtechmfg.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-rotary-tables)  ## A Dynamic Presence on the Show Floor Tabatha, our Customer Account Manager, and Ben from the Marketing team arrived early to set up our booth in **Hall D**, located in the expanded lower level of Huntington Place in Detroit. With the show growing to cover five full halls, having four days to explore was essential for attendees. The show floor was alive with motion—cobots, humanoid robots, and even robotic dogs. Amid all the activity, our **live motion display table** stood out. It featured: - An **air bearing rotary table** and **air bearing stage** operating on two axes - A **vacuum chuck** for part holding - A **separate moving linear stage** to demonstrate high-accuracy motion control Our newly designed booth graphics helped bring these systems to life, showcasing how our **linear stages** and **precision spindles** are implemented in customer applications ranging from semiconductor inspection to optical alignment and beyond. Linear Stages: [From the Basics to Design Factors](https://blog.abtechmfg.com/intro-to-linear-stages) ## Surpassing Goals and Building Momentum While Tuesday was the busiest day, each day brought meaningful conversations and new connections from across the globe. Many of the surrounding exhibitors were also first-timers, creating a sense of shared excitement and discovery. We set an ambitious goal to gather **twice as many contacts** as we did at **SPIE Photonics West** earlier this year—and by midweek, we had already surpassed it. ## Looking Ahead Automate 2026 will move to an even larger venue in Chicago, and based on this year’s success, it’s clear that ABTech belongs on that show floor. As we continue to align our tradeshow strategy with key industry sectors—optics, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing—Automate fills a valuable role. **Thank you to everyone who stopped by—we’ll see you at the next show!** Explore our range of **air bearing rotary tables**, **air bearing stages**, **linear stages**, and **precision spindles**, and discover how ABTech can help drive your automation success. *If you’re looking for a reliable manufacturer of precision motion technology, consider ABTech for your next project. We’ve been in business since 1998 and have repeatedly proven our capabilities to meet and exceed customer expectations.  ABTech looks forward to supporting your next project.* [Request a quote](https://www.abtechmfg.com/get-quote) for your air bearing application today.   [![Speak to the Experts at Abtech](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/5052177/ae02036b-227a-4802-8f9a-db9a8911ca2d.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/5052177/ae02036b-227a-4802-8f9a-db9a8911ca2d) ![](https://blog.abtechmfg.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/abtechlogo-300x82.png?width=300&height=82&name=abtechlogo-300x82.png)           [![Speak to the Experts at Abtech](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/5052177/ae02036b-227a-4802-8f9a-db9a8911ca2d.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/5052177/ae02036b-227a-4802-8f9a-db9a8911ca2d) ### Subscribe to ABTech’s Blog ### Recent Posts ## Solutions ![made in the USA](https://blog.abtechmfg.com/hubfs/Website%20Refresh_2024/Logos/icon_made-in-usa.png) ## About ## Join our mailing list and never miss an update. ![](https://blog.abtechmfg.com/hubfs/ABTech_August2023/Images/logo.png) 126 Route 12 North Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire 03447 (603) 585-7106 [**Contact Us**](https://info.abtechmfg.com/contact) [![](https://blog.abtechmfg.com/hubfs/Website%20Refresh_2024/Icons%20and%20Graphics/Social%20Icons/social-icon_linkedin.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/abtech-inc-/) [![](https://blog.abtechmfg.com/hubfs/Website%20Refresh_2024/Icons%20and%20Graphics/Social%20Icons/social-icon_twitter.png)](https://twitter.com/ABTechInc) [![](https://blog.abtechmfg.com/hubfs/Website%20Refresh_2024/Icons%20and%20Graphics/Social%20Icons/social-icon_facebook.png)](https://www.facebook.com/ABTechMFG) [![](https://blog.abtechmfg.com/hubfs/Website%20Refresh_2024/Icons%20and%20Graphics/Social%20Icons/social-icon_instagram.png)](https://www.instagram.com/abtechmanufacturing/) [![](https://blog.abtechmfg.com/hubfs/Website%20Refresh_2024/Icons%20and%20Graphics/Social%20Icons/social-icon_youtube.png)](https://www.youtube.com/user/ABTechInc/videos?reload=9) Proud Members of: ![](https://blog.abtechmfg.com/hubfs/Website%20Refresh_2024/Logos/aspe-logo.png) ![](https://blog.abtechmfg.com/hubfs/Website%20Refresh_2024/Logos/ntsl-international-logo.png) ![](https://blog.abtechmfg.com/hubfs/Website%20Refresh_2024/Logos/spie-logo.png) ![](https://blog.abtechmfg.com/hubfs/Website%20Refresh_2024/Logos/sba-logo-stacked.png) ![](https://blog.abtechmfg.com/hubfs/Website%20Refresh_2024/Logos/A3logo.png) © 2026 Copyright ABTech Inc.
