Aria AV delivers HP Z640 workstations for CNC simulation and manufacturing software demonstrations, MacBook Pro M4 and Dell Latitude laptop fleets, iPad lead capture, touch screen kiosks, 4K monitors, and P2.5–P3.9 LED video walls — from the Chicago hub to your IMTS booth.
Five Technology Categories — Available at IMTS 2026
Workstations & Laptops
HP Z640 workstations for CNC simulation, CAD/CAM, and manufacturing analytics demonstrations. Dell Latitude for Windows enterprise manufacturing software. MacBook Pro M4 for cloud and SaaS manufacturing platforms.
iPad Lead Capture
iPad Pro M4 MDM-enrolled with your lead capture and CRM integration for IMTS exhibitor booths. Manufacturing industry buyers at IMTS are capital equipment decision-makers — every lead counts.
iPhone — Show Floor Teams
iPhone 17 Pro Max for IMTS exhibitor team members — mobile lead capture, badge scanning, and CRM entry across the McCormick Place show floor.
Touch Screen Kiosks & Monitors
32–58 inch enclosed touch kiosks for IMTS product configurator demonstrations and attendee self-service. 4K commercial monitors for product display walls and specification displays.

How Exhibitors Use Aria AV Technology at IMTS 2026
CNC Simulation Demo Stations
HP Z640 workstations pre-installed with your CNC simulation software, machine tool programming application, or manufacturing analytics platform. The workstation-class processing handles complex 3D machining simulation in real time — the standard for IMTS technology demonstrators.
Industrial Robotics & Automation Tech
MacBook Pro M4 and HP Z640 workstations for robotics control software, industrial automation platform demonstrations, and AI-integrated manufacturing system interfaces — the fastest-growing segment at IMTS 2026.
Lead Capture — Capital Equipment Buyers
iPad Pro M4 for IMTS exhibitor lead capture. IMTS attendees are capital equipment buyers — manufacturing directors, plant managers, and procurement officers making six and seven-figure purchasing decisions. Your lead capture system should match the gravity of those conversations.
Product Configurator Touch Kiosks
Touch kiosks pre-loaded with your machine tool configurator, custom manufacturing specification tool, or 3D product explorer — attendees self-navigate your product range on a dedicated kiosk without requiring a salesperson present.
Booth Video Wall Backdrop
P2.5 to P2.9 LED video walls for IMTS booth backdrops displaying machine operation footage, product specification videos, and brand content. The Infield X 2.9mm curvable panel is particularly effective for curved IMTS island booth configurations.
Event Lighting for Booth Impact
RGB LED uplights and intelligent moving heads for IMTS booth lighting — product-focused lighting that highlights your machinery or technology demonstration area and distinguishes your booth from neighbours in the open McCormick halls.

IMTS 2026 Technology Rental FAQ
- Chicago hub — IMTS same-day delivery
Yes. Chicago is one of Aria AV's two US warehouse hub cities — same-day delivery to all McCormick Place buildings — Lakeside Center, North Building, South Building, and West Building — throughout IMTS exhibitor setup days and all six show days. Chicago-based Aria AV technicians know McCormick Place's freight dock procedures, IBEW union electrical requirements, and building-specific logistics for every major show including IMTS.
- IMTS CNC workstations
HP Z640 workstations for IMTS manufacturing technology demonstrators requiring workstation-class processing — CNC simulation software, CAD/CAM applications, machine tool programming platforms, industrial robotics control software, and manufacturing analytics requiring sustained multi-core and GPU performance. All workstations pre-installed with your required software and demo environment before delivery to McCormick Place.
- IMTS software pre-configuration
Yes. Aria AV pre-installs your CNC simulation software, CAD/CAM application, manufacturing analytics platform, or any other manufacturing technology software on HP Z640 workstations before delivery to McCormick Place. Provide your software installer, license keys, and any dongle hardware at least 5 business days before IMTS setup day. All software is tested and verified functional on the rental hardware before departure from the Chicago hub.
- IMTS cloud platform laptops
MacBook Pro M4 for cloud-native, SaaS, and AI-integrated manufacturing software demonstrations where a Mac-compatible platform is appropriate. Dell Latitude for Windows enterprise manufacturing software demonstrations. Both available from the Chicago hub with same-day delivery to McCormick Place during IMTS setup.
- IMTS iPad lead capture
Yes. iPad Pro M4 MDM-enrolled with your Salesforce, iCapture, HubSpot, or custom lead capture application for IMTS exhibitor booths at McCormick Place. IMTS attendees are capital equipment buyers — manufacturing directors, plant managers, and procurement officers. Badge scanning for IMTS attendee badges is supported on all lead capture applications. iPhone 17 Pro Max for team members on the McCormick show floor.
- IMTS LED video wall sizing
For a 20x20 island exhibit at IMTS where the nearest visitor stands 10 to 15 feet from your backdrop, P2.5 to P2.9 is the correct specification. Aria AV's Infield X 2.9mm curvable panels are particularly popular for curved IMTS island booth configurations. For 30x30 and larger island exhibits where viewing distances exceed 15 feet, P3.9 is the appropriate and most cost-efficient specification.

Provide your booth number, McCormick building assignment, and move-in window when confirming the order. Chicago hub delivery means equipment arrives from minutes away, not hours.
