Get Connected with Robots at the MCRI Open House July 23 & 24

Visit Motion Controls Robotics' 20th Anniversary Open House to see how robots are transforming your process.

Motion Controls Robotics, Inc (MCRI) is hosting an Open House on Thursday and Friday, July 23 & 24, 2015 to celebrate their 20th year developing quality robotic systems for the manufacturing, warehousing, and distributing industries. MCRI believes it is important for manufacturers to explore how robotics can transform their process through cost reduction and by freeing up employees to accomplish more important tasks. The Open House will help to serve this purpose by offering hands-on activities that show attendees the best way to integrate robotics.


Manufacturers in the area are invited to attend the Open House either day from 9am - 4pm at MCRIs newly renovated facility at 1500 Walter Avenue in Fremont, Ohio. Thursdays activities will also feature a morning ribbon cutting ceremony performed by the Chamber of Commerce of Sandusky County. This ribbon cutting signifies the growth and recent expansion of the company.

The open house schedule will include seminars about popular robotic applications such as Pick-Pack-Pal, Bin Picking & Vision, End of Arm Tooling, and Robot Simulations. The seminars will be an hour long and include both programmers and engineers from FANUC and Motion Controls Robotics. MCRI will offer CEUs for the seminars for anyone that needs engineering credits.

During the facility tour, a variety of new robotic technologies and innovations will be shown with robot cell demonstration areas. These cells will display such things as 3D area scanning, iRVision, robotic case packing and palletizing.

"The robotics industry is growing year after year and it is becoming essential for American manufacturers to keep up with the innovations and technologies available to improve their manufacturing, warehousing, and distributing processes," explains Scott Lang, President of Motion Controls Robotics.

Visit the Open House on July 23 or 24 from 9am - 4pm to learn more about robotics for manufacturing. Watch the invitation video and read about the seminars and robot cells that will be presented at the open house by visiting Motion Controls Robotics Open House webpage. Then register to attend the event and reserve your seminar(s).

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
