Category Components for handling
Second place in the Components for Handling and Assembly category went to Asyril. The company presented a feeding system with patented three-axis vibration technology for flexible small parts feeding.

The new RM-1000 straightening machine from Föhrenbach is a highly automated special machine for straightening deep-hole drills. The advantages of automated straightening are significant: the scrap rate is demonstrably lower with automated straightening.

Asyril's new URCaps plug-in is now available on the Universal Robots+ Solutions platform. This facilitates seamless and fast integration of all Asycube products with any Universal robot.

With robotics, Mitsubishi Electric enables versatile networking of its own products. Additional axes from the servo/motion portfolio as well as HMIs for operating and monitoring all states and parameters can be connected without additional interfaces.

Energy-efficient drive technology
The new PMCenergy SD energy storage units from Pilz save up to 60 percent energy. To achieve this, the energy generated during braking is absorbed, temporarily stored and reused - without any repercussions for the power grid
de Man has developed a flexible palletizing system for bags of flour and meal for Schapfen Mühle. The challenge was the large variance in the dimensions and fill levels of the bags, which are now perfectly stacked using a specially developed gripper.

The award-winning Panda robot from Voith Robotics is the first sensitive, self-learning lightweight robot that has the ability to assist humans and significantly increase production efficiency, according to the manufacturer.
The linear technology specialists from Rollon will be showcasing their seventh axis concept and the powered Speedy Rail at Motek.
