Stäubli to Demonstrate Industry-Leading Connection Solutions Geared for Automakers

Industry leader will demonstrate variety of connection solutions focused on driving efficiency and safety at all stages of vehicle manufacture

DUNCAN, S.C. — Manufacturers in the automotive industry looking for ways to increase efficiency and improve safety are invited to stop by Booth 1012 at the Automotive Testing Expo 2019 to learn about Stäubli’s industry-leading quick-connection solutions for fluids, gases, thermal management and more.

This year’s ATE is expected to draw more than 6,000 attendees to the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, Michigan, during its Oct. 22-24 run. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about innovative processes in automotive testing, development, validation and calibration from the more than 360 vendors who are part of this year’s event.

In Booth 1012, Stäubli representatives will use a methanol-fueled Honda 1999 CART Series engine connected to a testing platform to demonstrate a wide range of the innovative coupling solutions that have made Stäubli an international leader of engine test and manufacturing applications. The 2.65-liter turbo-charged V8 can develop a staggering 750 horsepower – more than enough to demonstrate the value and reliability of Stäubli connectors under the most demanding conditions.

“Time after time, manufacturers who have partnered with Stäubli have been able to realize greater efficiencies on the production line,” said Phil Briggs, Fluid Connectors Division Manager. “With Stäubli solutions, our valued manufacturing partners have found they are able to stay nimble and respond more quickly to changing market demands and government regulations, all while making the workplace safer for their employees.”
