Robot gripper range and accessories road show

Schunk robot gripperSchunk reports that it will be bringing its robot gripper range and accessories portfolio to a location near you, with a road show that will visit a number of locations between 18 and 21 May.

The schedule for the road show will see the Schunk team visit the Bristol Robotics Laboratory on 18 May, the Daresbury Park Hotel in Warrington and the AMRC in Sheffield on 19 May and then to Washington on the 20th. The tail end of the week will see the Schunk team demonstrate its robot gripper, accessory and other product lines at the Holiday Inn Hotel in Milton Keynes on 21 May, with the show finishing at the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) in Coventry on Friday 22 May.

As well as robot gripper products, the road show will include quick-change systems, rotary feed-through units, collision and overload protection devices, force sensors, compensation units, insertion units and handling units. The road show event has been devised to enable manufacturers and engineers to come along to discuss their fields of application in detail with our experienced product advisors without the time consuming visit to an exhibition.

Commenting upon the event, Schunk UK managing director Martin Kent says: “The purpose of this event is to take the latest technology to the end user and provide a convenient setting for the engineer. We appreciate that engineers are increasingly busy and can rarely afford time from the office or shop floor to visit a trade show that may be a long way from the office. By taking our robot gripper and accessory range on the road, we are giving companies an opportunity to witness the latest technology on their doorstep.”

Schunk says the series of events is open to anybody who has an interest in robotic applications and robot gripper technology. Further details can be obtained either via Schunk’s area sales managers or by calling the company’s office on 01908 611127.
