Kawasaki Robotics at the Interpack
Kawasaki Robotics presented integrated and effective automation solutions for packing and palletizing tasks at Interpack in May. With K-Pall, Kawasaki offers a compact and powerful robot solution for fully automatic palletizing - easy to put into operation, space-saving and flexible.

Digitalization and AI are now dominating the public debate. But there are usually more questions than answers. So automatica from June 27 to 30, 2023 comes at just the right time.
Recent advances in AI-based image analysis make machine vision accessible to companies of all sizes, even without technical experience or programming knowledge. This reduces the time required to set up inspection applications and increases the efficiency of production lines.

CU-Flex copper processing center
Boschert also presented the revised CU-Flex copper processing center with its three stations for punching, bending and shearing in Hanover. This allows users to completely manufacture copper parts in just one work process.

At automatica 2023 in Munich from June 27 to 30, 2023, Cognex will present its current product portfolio for the automation of simple to complex applications in the fields of defect and assembly inspection, classification, measurement, robotics, code identification and plain text.

automatica - the leading trade fair for intelligent automation and robotics - is taking place again this year. The reason for this is the change to a new rhythm. From now on, the international automation industry will always meet at the Munich exhibition center in odd-numbered years, parallel to the Laser World of Photonics.

Analyze the energy consumption per cycle directly in the drive - without external sensors. Baumüller demonstrates this with Smart Energy Monitoring. In times of rising energy costs, solutions are needed to determine energy requirements and then reduce them in a targeted manner.

The highlights at the Fischer Connectors stand were ultra-robust single-pair Ethernet (SPE) and connectivity solutions for USB 3.2 Gen 2.
It would be uneconomical to use a heavy and expensive cast-iron articulated arm robot for a pallet labeler. The labeling specialist MFG therefore opted for a low-cost robot from Igus, thus saving money and integration costs.
