ABB's UK robotics business is inviting rail industry manufacturers to its Rail Manufacturing Technology Seminar in Milton Keynes on Thursday, 4 June 2009.
The seminar will present the latest robotic products, systems and services to transform rail material handling, welding and inspection applications.
With a history of supplying rolling stock equipment to the rail vehicle industry and fixed installations to rail network operators, ABB is keen for the rail industry to experience how robots can play a key role in rail applications. The seminar will demonstrate the rapid payback available on robotic investments while addressing the common misconceptions that may be preventing many manufacturers from realising the benefits of robots.
Workshops and demonstrations will cover a wide range of rail industry applications and provide an opportunity to learn the basics of robot control with 'hands on' training.
Attendees will also gain an insight into ABB's 3D-robotics simulation suite for offline programming and control and the recently launched Remote Service Technology. ABB's Remote Service Technology uses GPRS communications to enable both the customer and ABB to monitor a robot's health and record key performance data whilst offline or working in a production environment.
Sharing their expertise will be a host of key speakers, including first hand experiences from a metal fabrication manufacturer on how the company has integrated robotic technology into its own manufacturing processes.
