Current TOP 5
The Munich-based robotics companies Robominds and Robco announce their official partnership. With the integration of the patented Robobrain technology, robotics applications with modular Robco robots can now be designed even more efficiently and flexibly thanks to the use of artificial intelligence.
New gateways and expansion modules for the...
For its modular bus system (MBS), which Georg Schlegel uses to connect its control and signaling devices to industrial communication systems, the company is presenting four gateways and two expansion modules whose RFID interface can be used to control access rights for machines, for example.
People working alone are particularly at risk of falling victim to an accident at work. They must therefore be protected by systems that automatically detect hazards such as falls, medical emergencies or being in critical areas, inform first aiders or trigger warnings in corresponding areas.
Displacement measuring systems
The integrated position measuring system IMS from Bosch Rexroth is now also available as IMS-compact for absolute measurement. The non-contact solution with magnetic measuring principle enables robust and economical position detection for linear guides of different lengths and sizes and replaces external, linear position measuring systems.
Industrial-grade version of the Raspberry Pi
The new version 4 of the open source IPC "Revolution Pi" (RevPi) from Kunbus is set to be launched as an industrial-grade version of the Raspberry Pi in mid-2023.
Gear cutting machines and automation systems
Liebherr-Verzahntechnik has been manufacturing unmanned in Germany for years, although none of the machines come off the production line in series.
On May 25, 2023, WEKA Fachmedien's trade magazine Markt&Technik once again named the top managers in the electronics industry. Norbert Gemmeke, Managing Director of the Harting Electric global business unit, can now call himself Manager of the Year.
Many production companies are faced with a dilemma: they can often only survive with zero-defect production that uses less energy and is more cost-efficient. This can be achieved with intelligent clamping technology, which has evolved into a machine within a machine.
Formnext has adapted its conference concept to the increasing demand for more knowledge transfer and, from 2023 onwards, will simultaneously focus on current and future applications, technologies and relevant metatrends on three stages. Interested users can now apply to Formnext with their contributions by June 30.
Yamaha will be bringing pioneering products and new application examples to Automatica 2023, such as the assembly of battery cells for electric cars.
MVTec Software is presenting its comprehensive machine vision portfolio at this year's automatica in Munich. From June 27 to 30, 2023, the company will be demonstrating the importance of machine vision as a key technology in automation.
Efficient down to the last detail
At Automatica 2023, PIA Automation will be showing what an efficient, intelligent and digitally designed future can look like. In addition to information on the latest manufacturing technologies and processes, the new maintenance app can also be experienced there.
Just over a decade ago, the idea of fully autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) interacting collaboratively with humans in warehouses and production facilities seemed like a futuristic vision. Today, thousands of AMRs from Mobile Industrial Robots transport finished products, move parts and perform numerous other logistical tasks without the need for human operators, separate workspaces or external guidance.
SVS-Vistek introduces the hr65CX12 model as an extension to the HR camera series. This camera offers a high resolution of 9,344 x 7,000 pixels.
There is no doubt that artificial intelligence offers enormous potential. However, many companies in the machine vision sector lack the necessary expertise and time to deal with the topic in depth.
The Acuro AD37 absolute encoder from Hengstler records position data reliably and precisely, even at high speeds. The encoder is now also available in a version with a 1:3 cone, allowing manufacturers of standard servomotors to easily integrate it into their drives.
Customized machining solutions
The production of valve housings is the supreme discipline in the world of fluid technology. As a technology partner, Mapal provides support and designs the optimum machining strategy in dialog with the customer.
Pfeiffer Vacuum has introduced a vacuum calculation tool that can be used to identify specific vacuum products for the respective application. Furthermore, evacuation and pump-down curves can be examined and various calculations for self-configured solutions can be carried out.
