• Product Selection and Website Navigation: 12:45pm - 1:45pm  Making the most of ATI’s website for product and module specifications, drawings, and models. Everything you ever needed to know and more!
• Bus Networks for Tool Changers: 2:30pm - 3:30pm  Trends in Automotive Tool Changer applications with an overview of current bus network types, their advantages and disadvantages and ATI Tool Changer products that support these network standards. Emphasis on “Quick Connect” for Ethernet and PROFINET. Presentations by Siemens, Rockwell, Turck, and Molex.

AMT/Adaptive Tour: During the open house and only a few blocks away, there will be live large robotic demonstrations with ATI products. AMT is North America’s largest automation engineering company for supporting robot companies, systems integrators, line builders, and users of robotic automation worldwide. AMT will offer a live demonstration of a flexible, two-robot cell utilizing ATI tool change equipment. The cell was originally developed for use in the evaluation and application of Siemens Virtual Commissioning capabilities within their Tecnomatix software. The cell utilizes common components and architecture seen in today’s manufacturing environments and offers AMT insight into the continued evolution of advanced digital manufacturing tools.

Located within the same facility as AMT, Adaptive Systems is a Turnkey Systems Integrator that specializes in the design and build of custom automation, commonly involving technically-challenging robotic applications with 2D and/or 3D vision. Adaptive Systems is an authorized System Integrator/Partner for several robot manufacturers and executes projects in a full range of process areas including:  Material Handling, Pick/Pack/Palletize, Inspection, and  Machine Load/Unload. A tour of Adaptive Systems integration floor will highlight a turnkey system performing structured robotic bin picking of brake rotor castings.

Transportation will be provided between locations. Attendees are welcome to visit AMT/Adaptive Systems on their own.
