With the Liftronic Easy-6, the manipulator from Scaglia Indeva, users can move heavy objects with ease. The intelligent lifting aid has real-time response speeds, which ensures shorter cycle times and smooth workflows.

A new addition to the Eurotech portfolio is the battery-operated Nemo vacuum cleaner, which is suitable for handling almost all surfaces.

Industrial production will change towards intelligent processes, says Henrik A. Schunk. The component landscape will change accordingly and grippers will have to become flexible and smart.

By optimizing the shape of the housing and taking design measures, SMC has succeeded in reducing the weight of the pneumatic parallel grippers in the MHL2 series by up to ten percent. At the same time, strokes of up to 120 millimetres are possible.

The gentle and safe handling of thin workpieces with sensitive surfaces requires a suction pad that can handle dynamically with high suction power and still grip gently. Schmalz has developed the SFF/SFB1 vacuum suction pad for this purpose.

Nimo-KG has developed a lifting device with a belt drive. The company, which is based in the Swedish province of Skåne, designed the lifting device at the request of several companies, including a German manufacturer of processing machines for the food industry.

The intelligent parallel gripper Schunk EGI was specifically designed for handling tasks in electronics, pharmaceutical and laboratory applications. With its individually programmable stroke of up to 57.5 millimetres per jaw and equally flexible gripping forces of up to 100 newtons, the robustly designed mechatronic gripper in size 80 covers a wide range of workpieces.

Together with its subsidiary Apostore, KHT is supporting the Hansa School in Gelsenkirchen with a donation of EUR 1,500. The special school with a focus on mental development will use the money to purchase new toys for the pupils.
