Guangzhou, China — WAFIOS (Shanghai) Machinery Co., Ltd. (WSM), the Chinese subsidiary of Germany’s WAFIOS AG, will showcase its latest spring manufacturing technology at the 27th China (Guangzhou) International Spring Industry Exhibition, scheduled for May 16–18, 2027, at Area C of the China Import and Export Fair Complex (Canton Fair Complex) in Guangzhou . The exhibition, recognized as a bellwether for the global spring industry, will bring together equipment builders, material suppliers, and spring producers from across the world .

A 130-Year Engineering Legacy, Locally Supported

WAFIOS has designed and built precision machinery for the wire and tube processing industry for over 130 years, earning a reputation as one of the sector’s leading suppliers with a product portfolio spanning more than 130 machine types . The company’s spring machinery range covers wire diameters from 0.12 mm to 30 mm, addressing applications from micro-springs for electronics to heavy-duty compression springs for automotive and industrial use .

WAFIOS (Shanghai) Machinery was established as a dedicated sales and service subsidiary to bring this engineering depth directly to Chinese spring makers. Operating from Shanghai’s Minhang District, WSM provides local consultation, machine demonstrations, spare parts, and technical service, backed by the full resources of the WAFIOS Group .

The Core Message: Speed and Flexibility Are No Longer a Trade-Off

At the center of WAFIOS’s exhibit strategy for 2027 is a proposition that has defined its recent machine generations: high output and high flexibility can coexist.

The MULTI-FMU 32, a modular CNC transfer spring machine, embodies this shift. Designed for extension springs with extended loops in the 1.2–3.2 mm wire diameter range, it uses a mandrel coiling technique combined with a patented transfer system that moves workpieces independently between processing stations. The result is parallel production that delivers three to five times the output of a conventional FMU torsion spring machine—approaching one finished spring per second—without sacrificing the changeover agility that small and medium batch production demands . Programming is carried out via the WAFIOS Programming System WPS 3.2 EasyWay using geometry elements, allowing existing FMU operators to transition with minimal retraining .

For compression spring producers, the FUL 56+ represents the next step in the FUL series. Covering wire diameters from 1.5 to 5.5 mm, it offers approximately 15% higher infeed speeds and increased machine dynamics compared with its predecessor . Its new quick tool change system is particularly relevant to manufacturers running frequent product changeovers: after a tool swap, production can resume without re-adjusting the tooling, directly reducing downtime . The optional PTPduo coiling finger follows the spring’s pitch during coiling, enabling precise adjustment of different coiling courses and initial tension settings .

Why Guangzhou Matters

The Chinese spring market has moved decisively toward higher precision, shorter lead times, and greater product variety—pressures that are felt acutely by manufacturers serving automotive, electronics, and industrial equipment customers. For WAFIOS, the Guangzhou exhibition is not simply a display of German machinery; it is an opportunity to engage with Chinese spring makers on the specific production bottlenecks they face and to demonstrate how parallel processing, rapid retooling, and intelligent machine systems translate into measurable throughput and yield gains.

WSM’s local presence means that Chinese customers can evaluate WAFIOS technology not as a distant import, but as a supported, serviceable investment—with Shanghai-based engineers, spare parts availability, and application know-how close at hand .

Dates: May 16–18, 2027
Venue: Area C, China Import and Export Fair Complex (Canton Fair Complex), Guangzhou
Booth: [2528]

For Chinese spring manufacturers weighing their next equipment investment, the WAFIOS booth will offer a concrete answer to a practical question: how to produce more spring types, more often, without giving up cycle time or dimensional consistency. The conversation starts on the exhibition floor.
