Universal Robots Announces its 2019 UK Cobot Automation Tour

Visitors of the tour will get hands-on experience of the collaborative robots and hear directly from industry experts about how to best optimise production efficiency through cobots and automation.

The tour kicks off on the 12th February in Oxford, and will travel throughout the country until mid-July. Universal Robots is welcoming attendees to also join them in Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham, Edinburgh or Southampton, where the tour ends on the 11th July.

At each event, individuals will be given the opportunity to program the flexible and user-friendly cobots themselves. A wide range of UR + partners, including Robotiq, SICK, SKRobotics and Soft Robotics, will also be exhibiting their automation solutions, providing attendees with the perfect opportunity to see and engage with a wide range of end-effectors and tooling.

Mark Gray, UK Sales Manager said, “We are very excited to be bringing our cobots to the people of the UK this year. The tour will be very interactive and participants will be able to simply walk up to one of the collaborative robots on display, grab a touchscreen and within two minutes they will master their first robot move.”

“Our aim is to demonstrate that automation really is for everyone, not just large corporations with expert robotic engineers,” said Gray. “Those who attend the tour will experience how user-friendly automation can simply slot into existing operations and can really be handled by existing employees with minimal training.”
