The events will highlight how Robo-Tend re-calibrates the thought processes surrounding automation, bringing it within reach of a much wider audience.
Key to the new automation system is its ease of use and affordability – it can be used with any of XYZ Machine Tools’ Siemens controlled machining centres or turning centres. The system can be relocated within the factory to where it is needed, subject to the machine having an auto door and interface, giving even greater versatility and efficiency.
The user simply wheels the trolley-mounted robot up to the machine, the component loading trolley is then attached, and billet/component size input to the control interface
Costs are also addressed, making it appealing for small to medium subcontract machinists who would not normally consider automation as being viable. The cost of Robo-Tend is calculated from just £2.00/hour, meaning that automation is now fast, straightforward and affordable. If the system is purchased outright, payback is possible in just a few months of operation.
Both events start at 9am with coffee and bacon rolls, followed by an introduction to Robo-Tend from Nigel Atherton, managing director of XYZ Machine Tools and Paul Stout, managing director of Adelphi Automation.
This will be followed by a demonstration of the technology and a Q&A session, after which attendees can get get hands-on with Robo-Tend to see just how easy it is to automate production.
Space is limited at both of these events, so it is recommended to book places in advance. Those interested can book by contacting their local XYZ sales engineer, calling the XYZ headquarters or book online.
