SEW-Eurodrive automatically equips the rotors of synchronous servomotors with permanent magnets in its production. A rotor assembly system from IEF-Werner is used for this, which has been equipped with components from the new Movi-C modular automation system from SEW-Eurodrive.

Automation cell with hydraulic press. The MPA242226 automation cell from Martin Mechanic is equipped with the Fanuc LRMate 200iD robot and a hydraulic press.
Human-robot collaboration. The Bionic-Cobot is inspired by the natural movements of the human arm. Festo uses it to demonstrate what a safe and direct human-robot collaboration could look like.

The automated production of a single product according to individual specifications is just as much a central requirement of Industry 4.0 as standardized interfaces and the networked management of systems and processes. Yaskawa meets these challenges with intelligent control and software concepts, but also with high-performance robot models.
Automation in sawing technology
Sawing with robot support. Automation and robotics are rapidly gaining ground in metal processing - including in sawing technology. Robot-assisted systems are taking over more and more work steps following the sawing process.

At the Hannover Messe, Universal Robots (UR) will be using application examples to demonstrate how simple and flexible automation solutions can be implemented using plug-and-produce.
Zero point clamping technology
Zero-point clamping modules have been ensuring high efficiency in machine tools for years. The Neher Group, a leading manufacturer of polycrystalline diamond tools and automation solutions, has now extended the range of applications in its new MX01 modular series to rotary transfer machine construction and uses Schunk's modules, which are both stable and precise, to clamp workpiece carrier pallets in leak testing systems.

The high-speed assembly cell from Aerne Engineering assembles three components in less than 1.2 seconds. Eight electric pick-and-place units with pneumatic parallel grippers and swivel units ensure short cycle times.
Automated material flow with Soto

Magazino is presenting the Soto robot at Cemat. Using 3D camera technology, the mobile robot can pick up objects such as cartons or small load carriers (SLCs) completely autonomously from different heights, store them temporarily on the vehicle, navigate them to their destination and place them there with millimeter precision.
