automatica - the leading trade fair for intelligent automation and robotics - is taking place again this year. The reason for this is the change to a new rhythm. From now on, the international automation industry will always meet at the Munich exhibition center in odd-numbered years, parallel to the Laser World of Photonics.
At the Hannover Messe, Boge showed how compressed air systems can be analyzed and optimized with Boge connect. The service tool has been expanded to include additional connection options and offers even more versatility.
Current TOP 5
Around 500 companies presented their solutions for the production, transportation, infrastructure, storage, refuelling and consumption of hydrogen at the Hannover Messe.
Analyze the energy consumption per cycle directly in the drive - without external sensors. Baumüller demonstrates this with Smart Energy Monitoring. In times of rising energy costs, solutions are needed to determine energy requirements and then reduce them in a targeted manner.
Every industry places specific demands on labeling. Whether an object is at rest or moving on a conveyor belt at the time of labeling also plays a role.
Catena-X Automotive Network e.V., the industrial policy lighthouse project for the digitalization of global value chains, moved from the visionary project to the beta phase during Hannover Messe 2023 and launched the operation of the Catena-X data room.
Increasing reporting obligations to authorities, rising energy prices and customer demands for improved resource and energy efficiency, proof ofCO2 emissions or even climate-neutral products and processes as a criterion for awarding contracts - challenges that companies of all sizes are already facing today or will be facing in the near future.
Beckhoff wants to revolutionize the market with the MX modular automation system. Andrea Gillhuber spoke to Product Manager Daniel Siegenbrink about the possibilities that the system offers users, what experiences have already been made and where the journey is heading.
Rollon presented itself together with the other companies at the Timken Group's joint stand. Thanks to their ability to self-align, Rollon's Compact Rail systems can compensate for parallelism errors of the mounting surfaces in one or two planes as well as height offset or angular errors between the guides.
The highlights at the Fischer Connectors stand were ultra-robust single-pair Ethernet (SPE) and connectivity solutions for USB 3.2 Gen 2.
Under the motto "100 years of passion for technology and innovation", Phoenix Contact not only celebrated technological and personal connections from 100 years of company history at this year's Hannover Messe.
Connectivity and cabling solutions
Under the motto "Making The Difference", Harting presented solutions for a sustainable future. During the press conference, the company provided information on connectivity and cabling solutions for renewable and decentralized energy supply.
It would be uneconomical to use a heavy and expensive cast-iron articulated arm robot for a pallet labeler. The labeling specialist MFG therefore opted for a low-cost robot from Igus, thus saving money and integration costs.
Extended image processing options
The new Linea2 4k Multispectral 5GigE camera takes machine vision systems to the next level with its performance and value, offering a 5GigE interface with five times the bandwidth of the Linea GigE camera.
NKE Austria exhibited bearings for wind turbine gearboxes and generators in Hanover. Wind energy is an important area of application for the Steyr-based bearing manufacturer, which has more than 20 years of experience in the OEM wind sector.
Mechanical engineering and its applications are multifaceted. Every application is special and requires a perfect machine design. Individual components in the system must also be optimally designed.
Automated inspection stations from Ziemann & Urban, equipped with industrial cameras from SVS-Vistek and other image processing components, enable pipette tip manufacturers to inspect pipette tips with high precision and cost-effectively.
Solutions often need to be developed for tight spaces or compact machine designs. To meet such requirements even better, SMC has now added size 16 to its LEY series electric cylinders and LEF series electric spindle drives.
EMO Hannover 2023, the world's leading trade fair for production technology, will showcase cutting-edge solutions. Practical examples from industry and research will show how the various technologies can be profitably combined.
SK Technology is characterized by an understanding that inconspicuous subtleties make the difference between good and reject - and a machine park that can withstand a critical look down to the micrometer level.
