With a combination of all-electric and standardized handling and linear motor modules from Afag, packaging technology specialist Brunner is giving its systems greater flexibility of use and application.
By using several eT-Gripper suction boxes, vacuum specialist Eurotech solved a handling problem at a Slovakian plant of Rettenmeier, a company in the wood processing industry.
Combining individual machines into a production line with a continuous workpiece flow is not a new idea. As early as 1923/1924, MORRIS MOTORS developed an indexing line for machining cylinder heads.

Growing faster than planned: At the German Gimatic branch in Hechingen, another new building is being constructed behind the new building from 2016, which is due to go into operation in 2019.
The AsenBa research project has developed approaches to minimize the effort involved in planning handling systems.

Humans and robots are also moving closer together in logistics. Schmalz has therefore developed a gripper solution that ensures safe human-robot collaboration thanks to its product design.
Premium Aerotec relies on high-precision Peiseler rotary tables for milling - especially for applications in aircraft construction. When it comes to positioning workpieces in machine tools, maximum precision is required - regardless of whether they weigh tons or just a few grams.
Upload data, select material and quantity, send order - similar to an online photo service, designers and system planners can order gripping system and clamping technology components for additive manufacturing from the Schunk 3D print service.

For transport between the sorting centers, most parcel services load the vehicles with loose parcels. Regardless of whether the sorting center has an automated sorting system, the parcels must always be unloaded from the containers by hand.

3i Handling Technology has presented the new Posiset with millimeter-precise display positioning control for all lift-and-drive lifting devices. This intuitive operating logic adds another positioning control module to the 3i modular system.

Area gripper with patented valve technology. Fluidtechnik Bückeburg presents an area gripper specially designed for robots with low payloads and for collaborative robots.

Picking, packing and palletizing heat shields: Martin Mechanic demonstrates how to handle parts in record time with a new solution for the automotive industry. The MEV23196 work cell can handle 60 parts per minute - neatly placed in mesh boxes.
The trend towards mass automation is giving an enormous boost to small and lightweight robots in particular. Lightweight robots from Universal Robots, for example, are harmless when interacting with humans and can also be programmed quickly.

Goudsmit has introduced a magnetic power gripper that can be used both as a lifting magnet for picking up or gripping heavy ferromagnetic parts from six millimetres and can also be used in robotics applications.
Clamping modules, such as those commonly used in machining production, cannot be used in additive manufacturing, as 3D printing has special requirements. With AMF zero-point clamping technology, the manufacturing process in 3D printing, including the subsequent follow-up processes, can be standardized to a high degree.

The new Sax bell suction pad from Schmalz adapts perfectly to complex-shaped workpieces thanks to its high stroke. According to the manufacturer, this makes it particularly suitable for handling car body components or for destacking sheet metal blanks.

Roteg has launched two new gripping systems: a gripper for bags and a vacuum gripper for palletizing cartons. The two in-house gripping systems are both models of the latest generation.

Based on the VDH-SR product series of volume dosing valves, Adactech offers 2-component dosing systems for mixing and dosing 2-component media. The system has a modular design and can be used flexibly.

The long-established company Kocks relies on AMF zero-point clamping systems for the production of components on a new machining center. This allows production times to be reduced by more than 80 percent in some cases.
