Alva Industries to Exhibit at Robotics Summit & Expo 2026, Showcasing SlimTorqâ„¢ Frameless Motors and Live Demo
Visitors to Alva’s booth (#440) will have the opportunity to see SlimTorq™, the thinnest and lightest frameless motors on the market. They can also explore Alva’s patented FiberPrinting™ technology, and engage directly with Alva engineers through a live interactive motor demonstration.
Trondheim, Norway - 7 May 2026 - Alva Industries (ALVA) will exhibit at Robotics Summit & Expo 2026, taking place 27-28 May at the Menino Convention and Exposition Center in Boston, Massachusetts.
Visitors to Alva's booth (#440) will have the opportunity to see SlimTorq™, the thinnest and lightest frameless motors on the market. They can also explore Alva's patented FiberPrinting™ technology, and engage directly with Alva engineers through a live interactive motor demonstration.
About Robotics Summit & Expo
Robotics Summit & Expo is the leading technical design and development event for the commercial robotics and intelligent systems industry. The 2026 edition brings together more than 6,000 robotics developers, engineers, and decision-makers from sectors including aerospace and defense, healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing.
What Alva Will Showcase
Alva will present its SlimTorq™ frameless motor family across a range of sizes, enabling attendees to compare form factors and assess suitability for their specific motion system requirements. SlimTorq™ motors are slotless, frameless designs optimised for high torque density, low cogging, and compact radial integration - characteristics particularly relevant for robotic joints, collaborative arm actuators, exoskeletons, and precision positioning systems.
Evaluation units will be available at the booth, giving engineers the chance to handle physical motor samples and discuss integration requirements directly with Alva specialists. Alva will have samples of FiberPrinting™ windings, the company's proprietary stator manufacturing technology. FiberPrinting™ enables the production of motors in almost any shape or size while maintaining a minimal axial footprint, high efficiency, and superior thermal management. A live interactive motor demonstration will run at the booth throughout both days of the event.
"Robotics engineers are working with tighter constraints and higher performance requirements than ever before. Flexibility that guarantees Design Freedom is one of the most important challenges in component selection. SlimTorq™ is a direct answer to that challenge, and Boston is the right place to have that conversation. We look forward to showing what Alva can do in practice"
-Dr. Nicolas Giraudo, Chief Commercial Officer, Alva Industries.
If you will be attending the exhibition, please feel free to visit the Alva booth to discuss your integration requirements or contact Alva ahead of the event to arrange a meeting with the technical team.

Featured Product
TM Robotics - Shibaura Machine THE SCARA range
The THE range from Shibaura Machine is an extensive line up of SCARA robots. Available in four arm lengths THE400 (400mm), THE600 (600mm) and the most recent THE800 (800mm) and THE1000 (1000mm), this range is suitable for assembly, handling, inspection and pick and place processes in varied industrial applications. The THE1000 boasts a 20kg payload capacity and an impressive 0.44 second cycle time, providing high speeds for processes with large components. In fact, the range has been recognised for as the price-to-performance leader compared to other SCARA models in its price range due to its impressive speed versus payload capacity.
