The elasticity of the drive train limits the accuracy of industrial robots. In combination with traditional control methods that only use motor-side variables, this elasticity leads to a limitation of path accuracy, which in turn is crucial for opening up new areas of application.
The new generation of compact Varioface interface modules is the link between the remote I/O systems and the field level. An innovative design ensures fast and error-free wiring and saves space in the control cabinet.

In addition to the attractive exhibition offerings at Intec, Z and GrindTec 2023, the practice-oriented specialist program of the trade fair association also provides impetus and promotes knowledge transfer and dialogue within the industry.

The fuel cell is a serious solution for emission-free mobility. Having disappeared from the scene for a long time, it is now establishing itself as a viable option for zero-emission strategies.

Augmented reality is also an interesting technology for industrial environments and applications. Virtual 3D models, which are projected into the room as holograms, enable collaborative work on prototype design development - the joint development of prototypes in real time, regardless of location and in individual teams.
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.

A key aspect of Industry 4.0 is always the monitoring and control of manufacturing and machining processes. MotorView, developed by BMR 2020, offers a powerful solution for integrating a process monitoring system for inverters and motors.

Sensors and industrial image processing
The leading automation technology and industrial image processing companies Sick and MVTec Software are intensifying their strategic cooperation.
A new torque sensor system for cobots and lightweight robots is integrated into precision shaft gears and, according to the experience of the developers at Schaeffler, enables significantly shorter cycle times.
