FANUC (JP3802400006) is showcasing welding, collaborative robotics and painting automation at FABTECH 2026, while its Fanuc stock story combines a new industrial use case with sharply higher fiscal first-quarter sales. According to RoboticsIntl on October 6, 2026, FANUC America said it would demonstrate the portfolio after announcing the plan on October 5, 2026.

FABTECH expands the automation pitch

The showcase covers robotic welding, plasma cutting, laser processing, paint automation and collaborative robots. FANUC America is also demonstrating an AI-enabled system combining Google Cloud, Gemini Enterprise, machine vision and robots for material handling and production support.

The commercial angle is broader than a single robot model. FANUC is presenting a connected workflow that can address welding, handling and finishing for fabricators, including smaller manufacturers that face labor constraints and varied production runs.
