On October 25 and 26, 2023, SCHUNK hosted the Expert Days, an annual international and cross-industry event on the topic of "Robotic Material Removal." 70 specialists from Europe and North America will meet in Brackenheim-Hausen exchanged ideas on new trends such as AI and best practice examples and to network for future tasks.

Cross-industry exchange of experts at the highest level

The "SCHUNK Expert Days on Robotic Material Removal" is an international platform event for robot-assisted automation solutions for machining processes such as deburring, grinding, or polishing. In addition to smaller informal meetings at the edge of trade shows, the annual, two-day event in Brackenheim-Hausen is the central forum of the emerging specialist network.

Trend topics in real production

At this year's Expert Days, speakers from the USA and Canada took part for the first time: The keynote speech was given by Glen A "Fritz" Carlson III, President and CEO of Acme Manufacturing in Michigan, one of the world's leading integrator for robot-based machining. Michael Muldoon, Director of Product Development at the Canadian robotics specialist AV&R, will talk about "machining of aviation components." But, also well-known speakers presented and gave detailed insights into current projects. One of them is Reinhold Stehle, Technical Sales Manager at SHL, a leading global manufacturer of robot systems for automated grinding and polishing of high-quality components.

Not only the tried and tested was presented, but also the latest trends and their practical implementation were in the focus. Sabina Kethelz, CCO at the Danish automation company Norbo Robotics, talked about the AI-supported planning of robot path. In addition to exciting lectures, the participants saw a trade exhibition and many opportunities for informal exchange and networking.

A network for new challenges

There is a trend towards greater automation in all major industries. An important reason for this is the lack of workforce. More and more small and medium-sized companies are taking steps towards automated solutions. Thereby they prefer simple and flexible solutions. This poses new challenges for users of robotics, system integrators, component manufacturers and consumables providers. Therefore, SCHUNK has initiated the Expert Days to create an international network for robot-assisted machining. Here, experts are to exchange ideas, learn from each other, and develop new business ideas and projects.
