Interfaces: Manufacturer, reports, information at INDUSTRIAL Production

Formative events

Spherical embossing combines punching and embossing - ideally in a single process. In addition to the right tools, a corresponding press drive is required for this. Tox Pressotechnik offers the right system solutions for this.

Hanover Fair 2018

Simply start Industry 4.0

Forcam is presenting its Forcam force solution at the Hannover Messe. The software enables manufacturing companies to significantly increase their productivity at all levels and provides real-time transparency on all computers and mobile devices.

Interview with Dr. Albert Schmidt

"Finding the optimal economic solution"

Cameras are playing an increasingly important role in production and quality control. They relieve the burden on people and expand the possibilities of visual inspection. They are part of entire networks of components. In order to cope with the large amounts of data, the industry relies on "intelligent" cameras that not only provide data, but also deliver results. But what must the camera be able to do, what makes it intelligent? Dr. Albert Schmidt, Managing Director of Baumer's Vision Competence Center, provides answers.

Control 2018

Atos measurement data for Industry 4.0

Quality assurance, consisting of measurement, control and correction processes, is the most important measure for optimizing production processes in tool, model and mould making. The basis for this is, among other things, the three-dimensional digitalization of the actual states of finished and partially finished products, tools and machines.

RFID technology at the airport

RFID for 3,000 pieces of luggage per hour

RFID technology for container-based transportation and sorting systems: The Crisbag baggage handling system from Beumer is used internationally at airports with Bluebox readers and antennas from Idtronic.

Length and angle measuring systems

Better evaluation electronics

AMO has equipped all scanning heads with new evaluation electronics. They thus offer a position deviation of less than one micrometer within one signal period over the entire temperature range and even when utilizing the mounting tolerances, says the manufacturer.

Connection technology

Biocompatible wiring

Connecting cables for medical devices are subject to stringent requirements. Especially when cables are used between the generator and handpiece/applicator and therefore also come into contact with the patient.

Hand scanner

Green instead of red

Datalogic has expanded its Powerscan family. The 9100 series is based on innovative linear imager technology and is therefore the powerful alternative to laser scanners.

Pallet labeler

For different heights

The pallet labeler from Rea Jet can be flexibly integrated into the logistics process. It labels pallets on one, two or three sides while stationary or in transit, and with the optional servomotor height adjustment, it can also label pallets at different heights.
