As the FAST & IASE Exhibitions on 18 October approach, there are two questions on the minds of engineers - how can I save cost, and how can I deal with this problem? These are questions suited to the informal environment of FAST & IASE, where top UK experts will be available and it is not uncommon to see engineers arriving with drawings and/or parts seeking those experts' opinions.
At the National Motorcycle Museum, Birmingham on 18 October, visitors can discover and discuss all the latest products, processes and methods to have emerged in the field of fastening, bonding and assembly for manufacturing applications. From electronics and electrical equipment manufacture to aerospace and automotive, and everything in between, this is the event that helps the UK's engineers and manufacturers continue to innovate, improve quality and drive down costs.
Exhibitors will cover new fasteners, rivets, plastic fasteners, fastener security, anti-vibration fasteners, captive fasteners, encapsulants, epoxy adhesives, acrylic adhesives and many other technologies so that engineers can compare fasteners and adhesive options. Processes such as press joining and clinching can be compared with structural adhesives there on the day, with people who really know the answers.
Positioned just outside the NEC, the National Motorcycle Museum will again play host to FAST & IASE with abundant free parking, and the organisers have also arranged for a free bacon roll and brew to be waiting for all pre-registered visitors on arrival, as well as a free museum pass otherwise priced at 8.95.
To be amongst the first to see, discuss and evaluate everything new (methods, products, practices and suppliers) in engineering and industrial fastening, adhesives and assembly, simply go to the exhibition websites and pre-register now. Entry to FAST & IASE exhibitions is free. One registration provides a badge valid for both events and pre-registration can be done at www.fastenerexhibition.com or www.adhesives-show.com.
