How an IIoT modular system is created
ADS-Tec is presenting its new PC terminals, firewalls, control cabinet PCs and box PCs for the first time in Nuremberg and showing how the interaction of the various hardware and software components creates a modular IIoT solution.

Gripping system for the niche
Micro system for grippers. For confined spaces and small components, ASS has developed a micro system that is smaller and lighter and can also handle parts that were previously drop parts.
For complex movements
The electromechanical solutions that Moog will be presenting at SPS include customizable servo motors and controllers, electro-hydraulic and linear motion technologies and technologies for large rotating machines.

WITTENSTEIN Service Portal: One gate. All support.
In the new WITTENSTEIN Service Portal, all WITTENSTEIN series products can be viewed via a product-specific Service Portal website. All relevant product information, technical data, tutorial videos on installation and commissioning, documentation and firmware files for gearboxes, motors, actuators and controllers can be accessed there.
It's all in the knot
Tox Pressotechnik's modular gun system already contains the control unit as a central component. Now the intelligent bus node ZVK has been added as a component. It supplies sensor-based data to the multi-technology controller, allowing systems for predictive maintenance to be set up, for example.
16.5 billion dollars invested in robots worldwide
According to the World Robotics Report 2019, USD 16.5 billion was invested in robots worldwide and 422,000 units were delivered. A pause in growth is expected for 2019, but double-digit growth is forecast for 2020.
Gripper for electronics production
Safe handling of electronic components

Vacuum specialist Schmalz has numerous solutions for the automated handling of sensitive electronic components in its portfolio. The gripping systems reliably protect sensitive components from electrostatic discharge.
How skillful hands change gripping
The human hand is considered the benchmark when it comes to the flexibility of gripping tools. In service and assistance robotics in particular, humanoid manipulators that enable a wide range of gripping variants will be increasingly in demand in the future. The cost-effectiveness factor is also becoming increasingly important.

Wireless position switches and sensors for hazardous areas
With Wireless Ex, Steute's Extreme division has developed a technology that facilitates the installation and operation of switchgear in potentially explosive atmospheres. It works via a low-energy radio protocol that is ATEX/IECEx-certified.
