Upcoming Transforming Laser Marking Ops with Cobots Event with FOBA and Universal Robots

I’m looking forward to presenting our real-world experiences of running advanced robot machine tending with laser marking & etching at our upcoming event with FOBA and UR next week.

The event is happening on Thursday 1 August from 8:30am – 12pm EST at the MassRobotics facility in Boston. If you’re in the area, it’s free to attend and would be great to have you join Register Now.

FOBA and UR are both important partners for Flexxbotics and together we’re enabling forward thinking manufacturers to robot-enable their laser marking operations. 

By utilizing UR cobots with our digitalization technologies, companies running FOBA Laser Marking & Engraving systems are successfully managing labor shortage challenges, while increasing throughput and improving profit per part. 

A recent article in Medical Design Briefs highlights the results a leading orthopedic manufacturer achieved: 

• 83 percent reduction in changeover time for set-up of new jobs.
• 20 percent reduction in production lead time due to capacity increases.
• 10:1 man-to-machine ratio, enabling continuous operation and longer unattended runs.
• Extensibility to start with initial work cells, get success quickly, and scale factory-wide.

There’s a couple of other talks during the event that you don’t want to miss:

Faycal Benayad from FOBA will be discussing how robotic automation and lean manufacturing can be successfully applied to laser marking. 

Silas Neale from UR will be providing insights on how best to get started with cobot automation in your laser marking workcells. 

The sessions will also include a live operational demo of a UR cobot-enabled FOBA Laser Marker enabled by Flexxbotics so you can see first hand how it works in real world operation.
