“Productivity Partnerships”, a regulars series of demonstrations held at The 600 Centre in Shepshed, saw the UK launch of a new machine loading robot system by Fanuc Robotics. A description is given of the rail‐mounted 6‐axis robot together with some of the claimed benefits. It is a system that has been well received in the USA and two brief examples of installations from that side of the Atlantic are given.
