Screwing in assembly technology. One of the most important tasks in assembly with the support of screwdriving technology is to apply the necessary preload force. Deprag has developed the Clamp Force Control adaptive tightening process for this purpose.
Inline camera inspection technology
Inline camera inspection technology. In the fully automated production of electrical components at high speed, 100 percent inline inspections for final inspections have long been sought after or are even mandatory. Lutronic offers sophisticated camera inspection technology including programming.
One way to reduce vehicle weight is through the use of fiber-reinforced plastics. As part of the ProVorPlus research project, a method was developed for the systematic development of an automated thermoforming process for fiber composite structures using active material guidance.
Radio signal ensures correct installation...
Desoutter has developed a "virtual cable" that monitors the tool position in the room. The radio-supported function ensures that no incorrect screw connections are made at the wrong assembly station.
Digitalization is difficult to master for manual production. Especially in areas where individual production and small parameters are required, automation is often not economically feasible. This is where Smart Klaus can help.

Supplier to the mechanical engineering...
Suppliers to the mechanical engineering industry will be presenting their products and services at FMB-Süd in Augsburg on February 12 and 13, 2020.
Digitalization in production. SME Sondermaschinenbau Engelsdorf manufactures machines and systems specifically to customer requirements. The Deleco ERP software from Delta Barth supports every project - from preparing quotations and generating parts lists to work planning and invoicing.
Workpiece carrier transport systems
The specialists at Horizont rely on a workpiece carrier transport system from Stein Automation for the final assembly of pasture fencing devices and lights - with success: twice as many components are now assembled per shift as before, and the ergonomics for the employees have improved.
The event brought together assembly experts from various industries in Stuttgart on 8 and 9 October to learn more about the topics of "Digitalization across the board" and "Where are the people in modern assembly?".
