OC Robotics to exhibit at SAE Aerotech Exhibition

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 06, 2007 – This year marks OC Robotics' first as an exhibitor at this event although the quality of the business and networking opportunities made it a natural choice. The combination of outstanding technical sessions, excellent networking and first class exhibition makes the SAE Aerotech Congress and Exhibition an exciting forum in which to meet, discuss and build relationships within the aerospace community.

In the last 12 months, OC Robotics has completed work on a pre-production Snake-arm Robot Demonstrator for Airbus UK. The system is capable of conducting in-wing low access assembly tasks such as inspection, swaging and sealant application. Managing Director, Rob Buckingham will be presenting the latest developments of this work at the Congress as well as outlining plans for future work to bring this technology onto the production line.

The SAE Aerotech Congress and Exhibition is being held on 17-20 September 2007 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, Los Angeles, California, USA.
