Exotic Automation & Supply, a premier Parker Hannifin distributor, announced today they have released the agenda for the 3rd Annual Motion & Control Summit. The summit, held March 22-23, 2023, is free to attend and features an extensive line-up of fluid power seminars.

The 2-day event features 16 sessions with topics including Hydraulics 101, Hose & Injection Safety Practices, Quick Couplings for EV Testing, Compressors 101, Statics and Dynamics in Linear Applications and more. Attendees are welcome to attend the entire conference or just the classes they find relevant.

“I’m very excited to be back to present again in this year’s Motion & Control Summit,” Dave Tunney, Electromechanical Product Manager said. “In past years, I’ve really enjoyed presenting what’s new in the industry and answering customers questions. My course this year is a discussion panel on the adoption of Collaborative Robots in the workplace. It is a topic a lot of customers are researching and more frequently incorporating.”

Attendees have the option of joining this year’s conference virtually or in-person at Exotic Automation & Supply’s New Hudson Headquarters located at 53500 Grand River Ave New Hudson, MI 48165. Several on-site classes feature enhanced training and allow in-person attendees see live demos and more after the scheduled class session. Speakers from Parker Hannifin, 80/20, Enerpac, Hertz, Fastest, Enerpac, SKF, Techman, Fangtooth & more will be present.

“Feedback from attendees on our previous summits has encouraged us to continue hosting the Motion & Control Summit annually,” Steve Orlando, Vice President of Sales & Marketing said. “This year’s summit is even bigger than previous years, with an informative line-up of classes and the option to attend in-person. We can’t wait to see attendees and thank all our vendors and presenters for their participation.”

All attendees will receive a mystery show grab bag mailed to them after the event as well as an entry to win one of many great prizes including an Ooni Pizza Oven or AMEX gift card.

COXREELS® Safety Series reels featuring the patented EZ-Coil Safety Rewind System, engineered and developed exclusively by COXREELS, are the only choice for safe spring driven hose, cord, and cable reel operation in the workplace. EZ-Coil works uni-directionally without any increase to the amount of resistance when pulling out the hose, cord, or cable. But, when engaged upon recoil, it controls the aggressive spring motor energy resulting in a reel that retracts at a safe and steady pace!

A clean hose, free of metal particles, rubber dust and residual contaminants, can help you operate at maximum efficiency, reduce downtime, and maintain industry standards for hydraulic fluid cleanliness. In this video, learn how to use a hose cleaning kit to maximize the service life & working efficiency of hose assemblies.
