At SPS Italia in Parma from May 26-28, 2026, Emerson will bring a high-qualtiy, hands-on showcase of high-quality pneumatic and electric technologies, along with smart handling and feeding systems that are built for real-world machine-building challenges.
Today’s machine builders don’t just need parts they need expertly engineered, fit-for-purpose components and systems that can reliably move, transform, and assemble products with better performance, efficiency, and uptime.
At Booth J006 in Hall 6, Emerson will put that philosophy on display with live demonstrations and interactive setups that span a broad portfolio of solutions, tailored to different industries, applications, and operating environments.
Attendees will get up close with the latest technologies from the AVENTICS™ and Afag brands, all focused on helping machine builders squeeze more throughput, reliability, and efficiency out of their equipment.
What to expect at the Emerson booth
Visitors can talk directly with Emerson engineers to tackle complex technical questions while seeing how the company’s solutions translate into measurable machine performance.
The booth is built around a series of dynamic demonstrations that reveal how pneumatics, electric motion, and feeding systems can be combined into tightly integrated, high-performance machines.
A ball pen assembly machine demonstrates how Emerson’s automation components can be combined into a fully integrated solution.
Watch as the entire assembly process from putting the pen together to final packaging runs in one seamless flow.
The finished pens are sealed using a Polaris Ultrasonic Welder, and a QR code is printed or applied to each product, showing the exact energy consumed during assembly. It’s a compact but powerful way to see how Emerson links performance, efficiency, and transparency in one system.
An O?ring feeding demonstration highlights Afag’s new O-Ring Feeding Solution, a modular, low-maintenance system designed to simplify O-ring handling and reduce operational cost.
One platform can serve a wide variety of O-ring types, giving plants much more flexibility. Changeovers take just moments thanks to interchangeable kits, which slash downtime and keep production moving.
Optional extras like refill hoppers, ionizers, pressure boosters, and stainless-steel housings with integrated controls let users dial in a solution that matches their exact performance and cleanliness needs.
A high-speed pick-and-place demo shows how vacuum suction cups and an AVENTICS™ air preparation unit work together to pick and place LEDs from a fast?indexing rotary table.
The setup is tuned to show how this approach can cut energy use, shorten cycle times, and reduce maintenance compared with many conventional setups practical benefits that matter directly on the factory floor.
The Compressed Air Manager display puts pneumatic monitoring front and center.
This pre?engineered, edge-enabled cabinet solution gives machine and plant operators a clear overview of compressed air and gas consumption across a single machine, a production line, or multiple sites. The demo focuses on how real-time insights into consumption trends, operating costs, benchmarks, and CO2 impact can help teams cut energy bills, support sustainability efforts, and plan maintenance more effectively.
A Bernoulli?style demonstration spotlights Emerson’s portfolio for proportional pressure and flow control, showing how electro-pneumatic systems can be both versatile and efficient across a surprisingly wide range of applications.
The setup pairs the AVENTICS™ Sentronic motion control series with the ASCO 290/890 fluid control series for gas regulation, using the XV series as the pilot valve. Together, they illustrate how processes can be brought under precise, repeatable control simply and reliably.
Finally, a feeding and handling demonstration offers a compact but comprehensive look at Afag’s core strengths in part feeding and presentation.
A compact integrated system uses rotary grippers to present parts to a simulated camera inspection and then loop them back into the feeding process without interruption.
Two feeding solutions are on stage, an FDA-compliant bowl feeding medical caps, and another solution handling complex, hard-to-manage terminal block components.
Emerson can deliver complete, tightly matched handling and feeding systems from a single partner, reducing integration headaches and raising overall machine performance.
