Artificial Intelligence for the Physical Space
Thousands of Jobs Under Scrutiny
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.
Protection against cooling lubricant
Anyone clamping with a vacuum during CNC machining must protect the pump from cooling lubricant. The NLS liquid separator from Schmalz separates the cooling lubricant and returns it to the running process - without interrupting the vacuum.
The Industrial Service Platform easyConnect will bundle all digital services related to Weidmüller products in the future. EasyConnect offers a holistic and modular solution for numerous applications - from planning and installation to the operation of devices, machines and systems.
For industrial robots, 3DP Maven offers a 3D-printed gripper that has been tested to 500,000 cycles at 4 bar and has achieved validation suitable for the automotive sector. With the same technical possibilities, this 3D-printed gripper is four times cheaper than conventionally manufactured complex grippers.
The world's leading trade fair Welding & Cutting is focusing on the advantages of the interaction between machines, humans, AI and software with an interactive rally. Under the motto "Get connected - get digital", it will connect participating exhibitors via an app from September 11 to 15.
How do you integrate moving components and load carriers into the internal information flow? A radio-supported automatic material retrieval system (AMS) is available for this task, which also precisely records the stocks of goods in the (material) flow.
Investments in machinery often lead to further purchases - as is the case at Joma-Maschinenbau, whose modern production facility has recently been supplemented by a 5-axis milling machine.
Just like conventionally manufactured components, additively manufactured components must reliably fulfill the required material properties.
From June 27 to 30, the United Robotics Group will be presenting its portfolio of robotics solutions at Automatica and showcasing CobiotX, the latest generation of service robots that are mobile in use.
The startup Scuddy has significantly improved the flexibility, performance, customizability and ergonomics of its second-generation foldable e-scooter of the same name - thanks in part to damping technology from ACE.
When dealing with lean production, there is no way around the pull principle. What are the reasons? What advantages does the pull principle offer?
Whether autonomous vehicles in intralogistics or machine tools in industrial production: Faults and failures of individual devices and components cannot always be avoided.
AGVs and AMRs are increasingly finding their way into production facilities. The mobile helpers need to be integrated into IT and automation systems.
