Fagor Arrasate and KUKA in press automation tie-up

The agreement covers the development innovative automation systems for press lines and was announced last month at the BlechExpo Trade Fair, held in Stuttgart. KUKA is the world's third-largest robot manufacturing company, while Fagor Arrasate is described as one of the world's leading companies in the design and supply of mechanical and hydraulic presses. The alliance is two-fold: technical collaboration between KUKA and Fagor for innovation in press-to-press part transfer systems; and a business relationship that has taken its first step forward with the joint exhibition of the two companies at the BlechExpo Trade Fair, Stuttgart, last month.
