Universal Robots Machine Tending Masterclass at the AMRC
Summary
As businesses turn to cobots to help increase their capacity and fill labour gaps, machine tending is one of the simpler tasks to automate and offers a rapid return on investment. It is therefore the logical next step for most businesses that are seeking to improve margins and free up employees to focus on higher value activities. The event will also introduce businesses to lights out manufacturing, as a means of extracting additional value from existing investments in CNC machines. It will reveal how companies are using collaborative robots out of hours to increase capacity and run a night shift that enables them to take on lower margin jobs on profitable terms. Experts from Universal Robots and the AMRC will be joined by representatives from the following organisations: • SICK – there to offer valuable insight into our vision systems/safety • OnRobot – there to display how UR can bolster your grippers/ tooling function • Schunk – there to discuss their gripping and clamping technology • Robotiq – there to highlight its automation solution with plug and play elements • EasyRobotics – EasyRobotics will show attendees its industrial automation solutions for collaborative robots • Measurement Solutions – this is an integrator who will offer insight into its tools and software to help create integrated systems for your business • Haas – Attendees can hear all about its CNC tools • MaZaK – there to discuss its CNC insights “We can’t wait to get to Sheffield and demonstrate the power of cobots for UK manufacturers wanting to build a smarter, more efficient and resilient business,” says Mark Gray, Country Manager, UK & Ireland at Universal Robots.
