Resistance projection welding system
Humans and machines must not get in each other's way when working together - for example during fully automatic welding. Occupational health and safety have top priority. At the same time, collaboration should be as smooth and productive as possible.

Ganter has developed shaft couplings that can be used for torque and power transmission as well as for position and motion control. This means that the right type of coupling is available for every application.

Helmut Schmid has developed Universal Robots from start-up to market leader. He now offers consulting for start-ups with HS Auxsilium. In this interview, Schmid talks about the challenges faced by start-ups, digitalization as a potential winner of the crisis and the potential of automation in assembly.

For sensor production, IEF-Werner has developed an 18-axis positioning system for a customer that feeds various components. The basis is a direct drive to move several slides on one axis to save space.

Bi-Ber has automated the reading of data matrix codes in material provision for a customer.

Universal Robots and Robolink robots have a 5-fold larger operating radius thanks to a new complete solution from Igus.
Computed tomography scanners are primarily used in human and veterinary medicine. They are also used as precise aids in material testing. In an industrial CT system, safety dampers from ACE are used at two design points as a final safety measure.

Pick & place with Zorn machining center
Zorn offers the cleanroom-optimized Zlag linear axes in three sizes with different stroke lengths. They can be used for machining sensitive components where dust particles are a problem: Precision engineering, micro-assembly, micro-automation and the manufacture of medical or dental products.
Robots and cobots have to meet high requirements. This also applies to the components used in the articulated arm bearings or as range extenders. New bearings, precision gears and linear axis systems meet these requirements.
