Sick is expanding its portfolio of camera-based code readers with the Lector61x. The compact device captures 1D, 2D and stacked codes for identification, inspection or content control in production.

Automation places greater demands on safety concepts. Classic concepts such as muting are reaching their limits. The safety solutions from Leuze enable seamless safety, efficient material flow and high system availability.

The F.A.Z Institute has awarded Jumo the "Germany's Best Family Businesses" certificate. This makes Jumo one of 770 companies in Germany to receive the seal this year.

Vision & Control's intelligent image processing systems detect the alignment of assembly parts. For example, when junction boxes are married to their lids.

Flir has introduced Screen-EST software for the T, Exx and A series thermal imaging cameras. The software has automatic measurement functions that check people for an elevated body temperature in a maximum of two seconds, while maintaining the required minimum distance.
Hexapods test image stabilization. When testing image stabilization technologies, hexapods are used by Physik Instrumente to simulate movements that cameras are exposed to during filming.

AMA Association for Sensors and Measurement
The AMA Association for Sensors and Measurement conducts a quarterly survey of its 450 members on economic developments. The industry reports a one percent drop in sales for the first quarter compared to the previous quarter.
The primary and secondary packaging of confectionery and baked goods is a tough job: different shapes and surfaces must be reliably detected. The new DRT 25C dynamic reference probe from Leuze meets these requirements.
The imaging of rotationally symmetrical objects for quality control in industry was previously prone to errors. A new system with four cameras ensures significantly higher process reliability in image processing.
