Webinars
Robotic Surfacing: A Transition to Automation
Originally Recorded August 25, 2022 | Noon - 1 PM ET
ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
Laborers are not only hard to find but are also growing more concerned about their working conditions. Labor intensive processes have traditionally been performed by humans, however in the last couple decades, technology has advanced to provide a solution that helps manufacturer’s increase their productivity while improving working conditions.
This webinar will provide an overview of surface technologies for robotic material removal and surfacing applications. We will discuss the benefits of robotic grinding and polishing, robotic programming considerations, and the benefits of offline robot programming software.
Key Takeaways:
Attendees will walk away with knowledge of some of the technologies available in the market to not just increase their productivity but also create a better working environment for human laborers.
