In Munich, robotics and automation specialists met, the latest models and technologies were presented and contacts were made and intensified. At the end of Automatica, we have put together a picture gallery with impressions of the trade fair. Have fun clicking through.
StarterSET compact and digital twin
By simulating and testing applications before they are physically implemented, errors can be detected at an early stage. The packaging machine that SEW-Eurodrive is presenting at Automatica also underwent virtual commissioning using a digital twin.
Controlled Pneumatics from Festo
Efficiency, process stability and energy savings are important parameters for modern production, especially in applications for sensitive goods. This requires an intelligent control concept that regulates pressure and flow precisely, energy-efficiently and flexibly.
New Center for Circular Economy
Making process chains in additive manufacturing more resource-efficient - that is the goal of the new CZS Center for Circular Economy and Resource Efficiency using Additive Manufacturing Technologies (Center KRAFt).
