Methods Expert at Mfg4 2016

On Wednesday, May 4, 2016 from 2:45 PM - 3:15 PM at Mfg4 2016, Methods Machine Tools, Inc.'s Automation Manager, John Lucier, will present a free conference session titled, "Manufacturing Automation For Firearms To Medical - From One Extreme To The Other."

This session will discuss the difference in machine tool automation strategies used in the high volume/low mix type of machining that firearms and other higher volume industries require versus the low volume/ high mix machining requirements in medical and other lower volume parts sectors. Attendees can learn the different strategies between these two forms of automation and solutions for cell configuration, end-of-arm tools, infeed/outfeed, workholding, part tracking and automation on demand for low volume processing.

Lucier has worked within the machine tool industry of over 30 years, specializing in machine tool service, applications, technical selling, product and application management. He has been with Methods for over 20 years.  For the last 11 years he has led Methods' automation team, focusing on developing automated technology for the manufacturing industry.

Mfg4, Manufacturing 4 The Future, will be held at the Connecticut Convention Center, 100 Columbus Boulevard, Hartford, CT. Hours are Tuesday, May 3, 2016 from 10 AM - 5 PM; Wednesday, May 4, from 10 AM - 5 PM and Thursday, May 5, from 10 AM - 4 PM. 

All conference sessions are free and will be held at the Connecticut Convention Center at the Information Interchange in the Intersection on the Show Floor. For more information, visit www.mfg4event.com.
