Special for EMO

The improved Easyline Edgen line marking system from Rocol shortens downtimes, reduces waste and enables even sharper lines.

Manufacturers and service providers from over 50 countries will be visiting Frankfurt am Main from June 10 to 14 to present the entire spectrum of technologies and services for the process industry at Achema 2024. Conrad Electronic will also be represented with a stand at the trade fair for the first time.

The Dutch manufacturing company Edumar Metaalbewerking is making its automation more flexible. On the way to even more flexible unmanned production, a joint solution from automation specialist BMO and Hedelius Maschinenfabrik is now being used.

Capture, analyze and verify barcodes and 2D codes - and expand classic data transmission as an IT interface: With the BVS Ident-Sensor USB, Balluff is expanding its portfolio with a small sensor variant.

In addition to the driver's skills, the engine, tires and aerodynamics are also crucial to the success of a racing car. The Swiss racing experts at Sauber therefore test models of their racing cars in the wind tunnel. In the test chamber, brushless DC motors are used to position the adjustable components on the racing car models.

Pfeiffer Vacuum will be presenting innovative vacuum solutions at Achema 2024 in Frankfurt am Main. This year, the company is placing a special focus on safe vacuum generation in potentially explosive environments and the evacuation of explosive gases.

Retooling processes on robot systems are necessary in order to be able to react to changing workpiece and production variants. However, each of these set-up processes causes unproductive times, harbors the potential for errors and requires additional knowledge and training. Concepts for minimizing set-up times are therefore economically necessary in order to have as little impact on productivity as possible.

Technical cleanliness is an important quality feature. Particularly with regard to electromobility, the relationship between technical cleanliness and tightness plays a decisive role in the reliable functioning of the connection.

Polytec offers the ODiSI-7000 system family for fiber optic-based measurement of temperature and strain profiles. The fiber optic interrogator differs from fiber Bragg-based systems due to its high spatial resolution of less than 1 millimeter.

PFAS chemicals are widely used in many industries due to their stability and resistance to water and grease. In the production of semiconductors, for example, membranes containing PFAS are used in various process steps. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP have now developed a sustainable alternative in the form of a new type of PFAS-free membrane.
