Honorable Return, Strength Display — Santon Successfully Concludes CCMT 2026 Exhibition
From April 21 to 25, the highly anticipated 14th China CNC Machine Tool Fair (CCMT 2026) grandly took place at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. As the largest professional machine tool exhibition in Asia, the event themed “Digitalization, Interconnection & Intelligent Manufacturing” gathered more than 2,000 leading enterprises from 27 countries and regions. Chengdu Santon Cemented Carbide Co., Ltd. made a remarkable appearance with a full lineup of high-precision cemented carbide products and new material solutions. Featuring leading technological strength and superior product quality, Santon became a major highlight of the exhibition and successfully completed its showcase journey.
Focusing on the domestic substitution demands of high-end manufacturing, Santon showcased a series of flagship products, including aerospace machining inserts, dedicated 5G optical fiber cutting inserts, high-speed rail track repair inserts, marine crankshaft machining inserts, and wind power gear processing inserts. Developed to meet international advanced standards and solve precision machining challenges under high-hardness, high-strength and complex working conditions, Santon’s products widely serve national strategic industries such as aerospace, rail transit, new energy, shipbuilding and automotive manufacturing.
During the exhibition, Santon’s booth attracted continuous crowds of professional visitors, industry experts and domestic and overseas merchants. The company’s technical and sales teams provided full-time on-site services, conducting in-depth technical exchanges and business negotiations to fully demonstrate core advantages in new material R&D, precision tool manufacturing and customized process solutions. In particular, Santon’s newly developed high-performance vertical-installed carbide inserts adopt original composite carbon control technology and gradient hot-press sintering technology, achieving an optimal balance between high wear resistance and high toughness. Effectively solving industry pain points such as clamping deformation and short service life of traditional inserts, the products have reached leading domestic standards and secured numerous intentional cooperation orders on site.
