Machine and equipment construction from Item
Machine and equipment construction. At INDUSTRIAL production + handling, Item will be presenting components from the MB modular system, innovations for automation systems, for lean systems in equipment manufacturing and for the design of workstations.

The Avero Kitting workstation is suitable for grouping and packing assembly or small parts sets, for preparing assembly sets and for separating large packs into small parts boxes.
Even with low quantities and high variance, an assembly line can be superior to box assembly. It enables better visualization and, with the right personnel deployment planning, cycle spreads of up to 30 percent can be absorbed.
The chamber manufacturer uses a digital assistance system to be able to produce special ball screw drives in small quantities. MR's ValueFacturing software networks the production data and optimizes manufacturing and assembly processes.

More efficient through full automation
Manufacture, assemble, pack and arrange on the pallet ready for dispatch: An automation system saves time and money. Fischer Sondermaschinenbau has various concepts that can be implemented to create a complete solution.

For the first time, Tox Pressotechnik is offering an exchange bonus for older Tox power packs with its "Old for New" campaign. The promotion runs until August 31, 2020.

Joining modules from Kistler are suitable for simple force-displacement monitored assembly and joining processes in automatic production systems and at manually controlled workstations.
Scientists at KIT are investigating how companies can improve the production process using principles of resource-saving manufacturing. The new research focus "Sustainable Production" was created for this purpose.

Spetec has launched the Laminar Flow Box (FBS), a portable and flexible product that enables companies to create direct cleanroom conditions in the workplace.
From titanium and superalloys to aluminum: a wide range of cutting performance is part of the business model for the sawing service provider Metal Cutting Service (MCS). With the universal Kastowin band saw series, MCS has been able to increase productivity and cutting quality and reduce the amount of offcuts.
In order to protect employees in companies, schools, authorities and construction sites, Bedrunka+Hirth has created product solutions in the area of health protection: Hygiene stands, mobile and stationary workbenches or trolleys equipped with disinfectant and towel dispensers.

Mint is the latest development that offers the possibility of fully automating the screwdriving process. With linear motion modules that can be modularly expanded with a camera, grippers and safety technology and combined with the Mint feed technology depending on requirements, a manual workstation becomes an assembly cell - without any programming knowledge.

Special machine manufacturer MartinMechanic has developed a robot-supported system for the assembly, torque testing and marking of two interlocking gears, which completes all operations in 40 seconds.
A manufacturer relies on the PosyArt transfer system from IEF-Werner to apply laser marking to plastic paint trays after production. It conveys the components on workpiece carriers to the stations.

The visualization of the worker guidance of the Local Positioning System (LPS) assistance system from Sarissa can now optionally be taken over by a laser projector from LAP.

The system workstations from Hahn+Kolb consist of a base frame and worktop and are available in standardized system widths of 1,200, 1,600 and 2,000 millimetres with a maximum load capacity of 350 kilograms.
Schnaithmann has developed a transfer system for a new oven line for V-Zug, a Swiss manufacturer of household appliances. It ensures the smooth transportation of different appliance types through the individual assembly and testing stations and adapts to different production requirements.
48-hour service. Companies plan, they have strategies in advance to avoid slipping into unforeseen situations. And yet there are always cases where something is needed sooner than expected.

When using cordless tools, users previously had to be careful that the cordless assembly tools were not used in a different place in the line - with the risk of incorrect screw connections.
