Fabricators, both large and small, are facing multiple challenges, including labor shortages, increasing demand for precision, making the workplace safer and the need for more flexibility in production. In this webinar, attendees will discover the various ways manufacturers are utilizing cobots to create value on the production floor, from welding and material handling to assembly and machine tending.

Universal Robots’ Will Healy III will share his insights on the challenges and benefits that automation brings to the fab shop. While traditionally associated with cutting and turning automation, machine tending robots are now expanding into more machines and are being successfully utilized for press brake tending applications.

Ryan Lemmel, from press brake equipment manufacturer Cincinnati Inc (CI), will discuss how collaborative robots are completely changing the ROI of automating a press brake. He will explain how cobots help metal fabricators overcome common challenges such as maintaining consistent quality, shortening changeover times of automated equipment, and implementing flexible automation.

With real-world success stories of CI's cobot press brake solutions in action, participants will see how press brake tending with cobots can positively impact their own businesses. The webinar will continue with actionable considerations for getting started from evaluation to implementation with cobot press brake tending and closes with an expert Q&A session. Attendees will enjoy this engaging and fast-paced discussion on metal fabrication and robotics. Join us for this informative webinar and discover how cobots can revolutionize your metal fabrication processes!
