Universal Robots has announced it is holding its Machine Tending Masterclass event on 26 April at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) in Sheffield
Attendees can access government funding and all of the expertise required to automate machine tending tasks and transform their operations.
Manufacturers across all industries are invited to meet with Universal Robots, UR+ partners, CNC manufacturers and installers all in one place to help boost productivity with an actionable plan to introduce low maintenance, cost-effective collaborative automation in their existing production environments.
This event will 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 SICK, Schunk, EasyRobotics, Haas and MaZaK… to name just a few.
“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,” said Mark Gray, Country Manager – UK and Ireland at Universal Robots.
“Those who attend the event will experience how easily automation can slot into existing operations and empower existing employees, all with minimal training.”
The event takes place on Tuesday 26 April from 9:30am to 4:30pm and is free to attend.
