As manufacturers across Southeast Asia explore ways to improve productivity and production flexibility, collaborative robotics is becoming an increasingly relevant option for automating repetitive and labor-intensive processes. At METALEX 2026, Huayan Robotics will demonstrate automation technologies designed to support metalworking operations, including CNC loading and unloading, welding, and material handling.
Visitors to Booth AJ01 will have the opportunity to examine robotic systems developed for applications requiring precision, operational flexibility, and integration with existing manufacturing equipment.
Improving CNC Machine Tending Efficiency
One of the company's key exhibits will focus on collaborative robots for CNC loading and unloading operations. These systems are designed to automate workpiece handling, reduce manual intervention, and support more consistent machine utilization.
According to Huayan Robotics, its collaborative robots offer positioning repeatability of up to ±0.015 mm, a maximum reach of 2,200 mm, and protection ratings of up to IP68. The robots can operate in both high-speed and collaborative modes, allowing manufacturers to adapt their operation to different production requirements.
The company reports that its systems can increase operating speed by up to 50% in CNC loading and unloading applications, depending on the operating configuration.
The robots can be deployed as standalone units or integrated into existing production systems. When combined with a mobile robotic platform, they can also accommodate different machine-tending requirements, providing greater flexibility for workshops handling multiple production tasks.
Flexible Robotic Welding for Complex Workpieces
Huayan Robotics will also present a coordinated welding workstation designed to combine the operational flexibility of collaborative robots with the extended capabilities of external robotic axes.
The system is intended for welding applications involving complex workpiece geometries, where consistent movement and accurate torch positioning are important to achieving reliable results.
Among the technologies featured is a drag-to-teach function supported by integrated end-effector force control. This allows operators to guide the robot through required movements, potentially simplifying programming and reducing setup time.
The workstation also incorporates a welding process package and a six-dimensional joystick for real-time adjustment of welding paths. These features are designed to make robotic welding more accessible to manufacturers seeking flexible automation without extensive programming requirements.
Heavy-Payload Palletizing Solutions
Another highlight will be the company's intelligent palletizing workstation, built around its S Series heavy-payload collaborative robots.
The system supports payloads of up to 65 kg and is designed to automate repetitive lifting, stacking, and material-handling operations. Such applications can help reduce manual handling requirements while supporting consistent workflow and production efficiency.
For manufacturing facilities handling heavy components or packaged products, automated palletizing can also contribute to improved material flow and more efficient use of labor resources.
Supporting Automation Adoption in ASEAN
The technologies presented at METALEX 2026 reflect the growing importance of adaptable automation in regional manufacturing. Companies operating in metalworking and related industries are increasingly evaluating robotic systems that can be integrated into existing production lines without requiring extensive changes to factory layouts.
Huayan Robotics develops collaborative robots, motion-control components, robotic platforms, and embodied-intelligence systems. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience in core motion technologies, the company reports that its solutions are used in more than 60 process scenarios across over 40 industries, serving customers in more than 50 countries and regions.
At METALEX 2026, the company aims to demonstrate how collaborative robotics can support manufacturers seeking greater precision, productivity, and operational flexibility.
Visitors can find Huayan Robotics at Booth AJ01, BITEC, Bangkok, from 18–21 November 2026.
