Automate REWIND Brings Back the Best of Automate 2022
Starting today, watch—or re-watch—keynotes, theater sessions, exhibitor spotlights and Automate LIVE interviews from North America’s largest robotics and automation trade show
ANN ARBOR, Michigan - August 9, 2022. Automate REWIND launches today, a digital library of content featuring Automate 2022 keynotes, theater talks, Automate LIVE interviews, exhibitor spotlights, and more. Through October 31, anyone can revisit the trends, best practices, and industry insights covering topics from North America's largest robotics and automation trade show.
Starting November 1, all content will be available exclusively to members of the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), the organizer of Automate and the leading global advocate for the benefits of automating.
Automate 2022 took place in Detroit this June, returning in-person for this first time since 2019. The biggest show to date, Automate hosted more than 24,000 registrants, 600 exhibitor booths, nearly 200 expert speakers from many of the biggest name in the industry, and more than 2 million virtual views of its digital content.
"Our record-breaking show featured amazing industry leaders sharing their expertise on the latest technologies, trends, and solutions - while also focusing on addressing the ongoing labor shortages," said Robert Huschka, A3's vice president of Education Strategies. "It's impossible for attendees to catch every keynote or educational session during such a busy show, and we know many folks weren't able to attend in-person. That's why we've put together Automate REWIND—giving everyone the chance to watch this incredibly valuable content that keeps people returning to Automate time and time again."

Featured Product
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.
