SCHUNK Takes the Show on The Road

30 March 2015

SCHUNK, the world’s leading manufacturer of clamping and gripping products is taking to the road by conducting a 'road show' with its popular robot accessory product range. The road show will be staged at a variety of venues around the UK between the 18th and 21st of May.

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.

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

Commenting upon the event, SCHUNK UK's Managing Director, Mr 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 robotic accessory range on the road, we are giving companies an opportunity to witness the latest technology on their doorstep. This series of events is open to anybody that has an interest in robotic applications and further details can be obtained either via our area sales managers or by calling our office on 01908 611127."
