Rescue blanket, knife, crowbar: all this is part of the inventory of the new emergency box from Deguma. With these tools, rolling mill operators are prepared for an emergency and can react quickly and correctly.
The seventh axis is used in manufacturing and production systems to make robots more agile and increase their reach. As an additional traversing axis, this linear axis brings robots quickly into the workspace or guides them precisely to parallel path-controlled operations.
Current TOP 5
Robots can be found in industry in a wide variety of
designs, including classic industrial robots,
cobots and autonomous mobile robots. There are also
components and accessories such as grippers, drives and safety technology. You can find an overview in our robotics market overview.
Nowadays, nobody can avoid "sustainability": In addition to a far-reaching presence in the media, it is also becoming increasingly important for companies in the tool and mold making industry to develop and implement appropriate concepts.
Lenord+Bauer, a specialist in the measurement of speeds and positions in high-speed spindles, offers a plug-and-play solution with mini encoders and matching ferromagnetic precision target wheels.
In the world of music, Beyerdynamic is known for its good sound. Among other things, the company manufactures high-quality headphones. In order to remain competitive, the level of automation in production is to be continuously increased.
The high-precision 23SXc series pressure transmitter from Keller compensates for temperature dependency and non-linearity using a mathematical model in the microcontroller. With the CANopen interface, the pressure transmitter is suitable for a wide range of automation solutions.
When applications were moved to the cloud, the issue of licensing was thought to have been resolved. But not everything is in good hands in the cloud, and now licensing has become even more important when operating containers due to the associated scaling.
In the coming years, Mapal expects a large increase in machining solutions for electric vehicles. The tool manufacturer has set its sights on sophisticated components that will be produced in large quantities in the future.
The Hicon mini hydraulic power pack from Hawe Hydraulik is waterproof and therefore resistant to splash water or temporary immersion in water during use. The encapsulated design in three chambers achieves protection class IP67.
The Semil-1700GC series from Bressner Technology now also supports the Nvidia RTX-A2000 Ampere GPU card. The device with fanless IP67 housing can offer the same GPU performance at a lower price.
The online voting for the products of the year 2023 will run until the end of January and participation is possible until January 31.
At temperatures far below freezing, machines and their components reach their limits. Nevertheless, machine failures due to cold embrittlement of materials, for example in cold chambers or in countries with low temperatures, should be avoided, as such failures are associated with high costs.
Study on the energy transition
A recent study shows that the Nordic countries are among the best positioned when it comes to preparing for the energy transition, while countries such as the UK and Germany are lagging behind.
Countries around the world are investing in robotics to promote the further development of the technology for industrial and social applications. But what are the current goals of the official funding programs in Asia, Europe and America? The International Federation of Robotics has done some research and published the results in the 2023 update report "World Robotics R&D Programs".
Mechanical and plant engineering
In the final months of 2022, the various economic downturns were also reflected in the order books of the mechanical and plant engineering sector.
Helukabel builds new site in Haan
The Helukabel Group is creating space for further growth: the specialist in electrical connection technology is building a new site in Haan, North Rhine-Westphalia. From 2025, this will not only house the Helukabel Rhine-Ruhr branch previously based in Duisburg, but also the subsidiaries EKD Systems and Robotec-Systems.
Change in the form of the company
