Fanuc had nine live demonstrations at MACH 2022

Demonstrating that the demand for in-person events has returned, robotics and automation specialist Fanuc UK enjoyed a successful five days at MACH 2022, featuring nine live on-stand machine demonstrations.

Fanuc’s on-stand displays highlighted to end-users and machine builders alike the strength and breadth of the company’s automation offering, showcasing welding technology, collaborative robotics and laser processing solutions across the full factory line.

Fanuc was joined by several of its system integrator partners, including Cyber-Weld who have partnered with Fanuc to create the Cyber-Mate. Incorporating Fanuc’s CRX collaborative robot with a non-contact, laser-guided, smart camera, it uses adaptive technology to automatically adjust the welding head to improve weld quality and reduce production costs for automated welding applications. Housed in a compact, movable trolley featuring a handy tabletop, it enables users to start welding from the day of delivery.

Also on display was the Flexlase laser processing machine, produced in conjunction with Cyan-Tec, which can cut or weld using a wide range of different laser sources such as laser processing optics, laser power and component fixturing. Another demonstration machine was Fanuc’s QSSR (Quick and Simple Start-up of Robotisation) package, which creates a standard interface to facilitate the connection of a robot to a machine tool, simplifying set-up and subsequent operation.

Fanuc UK managing director Tom Bouchier commented: “It was great to be back at MACH again after a two-year hiatus, and to see the industry pulling together. We were pleasantly surprised by the footfall and the quality of the enquiries we received this time was much higher than at previous shows. It’s clear that UK firms are really waking up to the power of automation.”
