Flexible, autonomous and networked handling systems are finding their way into production. In addition, the collaboration between man and machine is being revolutionized. For this to succeed, gripping systems are needed for the smart factory. Sensor technology is becoming increasingly important.

MWB is presenting a new pallet magazine in Nuremberg. It can remove Euro or industrial pallets directly from the trolley and load them onto trolleys. This allows users of tugger trains to streamline the handling of empty pallets, eliminating the need for high-lift trucks or forklifts.

Schmalz will be exhibiting handling and gripper solutions for new and established packaging materials and shapes. One highlight is the new SLG gripper system including an online configurator.

At Fachpack, Piab will be demonstrating how intelligent grippers, lifters and conveyors document workflows and optimize processes. The components are equipped with Piab's Pi-Smart technology, which measures the key parameters of the processes during handling, optimizes them as a self-learning system and issues warnings in the event of deviations from specifications.

Injection molded parts can have simple, flat or very complex shapes. The gripper must be designed accordingly for automatic removal. Piab's new Robotic Gripping department develops gripper concepts for different levels of complexity.
The 38th Motek - International Trade Fair for Production and Assembly Automation - is in the starting blocks together with the 13th Bondexpo - International Trade Fair for Bonding Technologies. The highlight is the "Arena of Integration".
At Motek, Afag will be presenting the new LTM-Horizontal transport module, among other things. The automation specialist will also be presenting its new Engineering Services division.

Whether in the watch industry, medical sector, microsystems or precision engineering - small and light components often have to be moved automatically. With Minispin, IEF-Werner has developed a highly dynamic unit.
Electric gripper for bottle handling
Industry 4.0 opens up a wide range of possibilities for manufacturing customized mass products flexibly and economically. The Zimmer Group participated in a project for an automation concept for customized beverage bottles by developing a gripper.
