Automating the loading and unloading of machines increases efficiency in production - especially if the subsequent manual visual inspection is also carried out automatically. AI-pro develops individual solutions for this and adds robots and artificial intelligence to machines such as the servo press from Tox Pressotechnik.

Sensors and industrial image processing
The leading automation technology and industrial image processing companies Sick and MVTec Software are intensifying their strategic cooperation.

Baumüller relies on OPC UA as an interface for the transfer of data between different participants, such as visualization or edge controllers, and has developed the ProDataX software tool for communication via the control technology to the drive level.

Advanced robotics applications
Artia is a prototype developed jointly by ArtiMinds Robotics and Siemens that connects the ArtiMinds Robot Programming Suite and Simatic Step 7. The aim of the software connector is to minimize the effort involved in implementing advanced robotics applications by automatically creating a communication interface between the robot controller and the PLC.

At the SPS, ebm-papst is presenting the ECI-63 internal rotor motors from the modular drive system, equipped with an EtherCAT interface. For this purpose, high-performance interface electronics including a multi-protocol chip have been added to the drive housing.

Comprehensive automation, drive and control solutions from a single source define Yaskawa's presence in addition to the PLC - from the process level to interfaces and controllers to application-specific drive technology and robot-based applications.

At SPS, Siko will be presenting the AP05 as a compact version in the format adjustment segment, now with an integrated IO-Link interface. With its ability to display the set value and actual value to the machine operator on the adjustment spindle, it increases convenience for the setter.

Bosch Rexroth is expanding its portfolio of linear robots for a wide range of factory automation applications with new axis combinations and sizes.

Stein Automation has put together an exciting product package for this year's Motek: The specialists for workpiece carrier systems will be presenting their new 5G logistics controller and the Stein 400 workpiece carrier system at the international trade fair for production and assembly automation.
