Coventry-based Fanuc UK is hosting its first ever virtual event, focusing on unlocking the benefits of automation for the injection moulding market. Starting today, the online event will run until 27 November and will feature a range of interactive exhibitions from across Fanuc’s Robotshot range of all-electric injection moulding machines, as well as a number of third parties.

Complete with a virtual tour of Fanuc UK’s Ansty headquarters, the event will highlight the capabilities of Fanuc’s new lightweight collaborative robot, the CRX10iA.

Tom Bouchier, Fanuc UK managing director, said: “Injection moulding is an area of manufacturing that has seen significant technological development in recent years. The sustained evolution of accuracy and control levels for all-electric machines, combined with increasingly sophisticated automation systems, has stimulated growth across a number of sectors.

“With events such as this, we are aiming to demonstrate the massive productivity benefits associated with introducing automation into moulding processes.”
