Haas Automation says robot-based automation for its machine tools can cost as little as £150/week.To back up its claim, the company is extending an invitation to Neuteq Europe, 34-36 Sandy Way, Amington, Tamworth, Staffordshire B77 4DS on 23 June to see a cost-effective package developed by Haas, ABB, Neuteq and Renishaw. Other partners include Schunk - workholding; Flexlink - material handling; Festo – pneumatics; and Troax – guarding.

A the event, visitors will see the Haas/ABB robot cell being put through its paces and be able to talk to the experts from the various partner companies. The event will demonstrate - how to reduce cost per part; how to increase throughput; how to reduce lead time; that automation isn't expensive; that automation isn't too dedicated.

And, as a guest of Haas, visitors will also be able to buy a selection of its CNC machines at greatly reduced prices.
