NEWS FANUC OPENS DEDICATED FACILITY IN IRELAND
An artist’s impression of the new Maynooth Business Campus where FANUC Ireland will officially open the doors to its first ever dedicated facility in Ireland on 11th October
In response to increased demand from its Irish customer base, FANUC will officially open the doors to its first ever dedicated robotics facility in Ireland on 11th October 2022. Located in Maynooth, Co Kildare, the unveiling of the 500m2
training centre and showroom will
be overseen by FANUC’s European President & CEO Shinichi Tanzawa in the presence of a select group of local dignitaries, academics, government officials, press, system integrator partners and valued customers. “We are delighted to announce the opening of our first Irish facility,”
said Tom Bouchier, Managing Director of FANUC UK & Ireland. “Not only does it demonstrate our long-term commitment to our growing customer base in the country, but it also enables us to support the government’s aim to place Ireland at the forefront of the Fourth Industrial Revolution by 2025.” The official opening will provide the perfect platform for a live
demonstration of the recently released LR-10iA; FANUC’s lightweight, strong and compact robot series. Visitors to the facility opening will be able to witness its full range of benefits at close quarters. As well as the LR-10iA, the new showroom will be stocked with a
range of robotics and automation solutions for demonstration, evaluation and test purposes. Latest FANUC innovations on display will include the CRX cobot range, a series of lightweight collaborative robots that boast eight years zero maintenance; and the ROBODRILL vertical machining centre, delivering precision and repeatability making it perfect for fully automated production runs. The new Maynooth facility will be supported by a five-strong team
of dedicated staff with the ability to provide local technical support and servicing, with a view to increasing this into double figures over the next two years. The site will also host organised, in-house training courses; previously, Irish clients would have had to travel to Coventry.
