Sensors: Manufacturer, reports, information at INDUSTRIAL Production

Touch unwanted

Increasing hygiene and safety requirements in many areas are driving the need for contactless operating technologies. Capacitive sensor buttons with touch function play an important role here.

SPS Connect

ISG component models for accelerated VIBN

ISG Industrielle Steuerungstechnik is presenting two innovations at the SPS. Firstly, the ISG-virtuos simulation platform has been completely revised to cover the entire life cycle of a system.

3D driver assistance system

Collision warning

Four eyes see more than two - the new generation of Visionary-B CV from Sick ensures greater safety and a better overview when maneuvering with forklift trucks and other special vehicles.

Robotop funding project

Robotics as an opportunity for SMEs during the crisis

Robots increase the efficiency of small and medium-sized companies. Until now, however, access to automation solutions has mainly been available to experts, particularly in large companies. The Robotop platform is designed to make it easier to get started.

Modular production

How granular can it be?

Machine and plant manufacturers who pursue a modular approach are often particularly successful. Harting's mechanical engineering customers want to design the modularization of their products as efficiently as possible, with interfaces playing a central role in these concepts.

Data analysis

Data, the raw material in assembly

Data is the basis for digitalization and the application of artificial intelligence algorithms. It is seen as a "raw material" and therefore increasingly as a co-decisive production factor.

Robots support logistics processes

Container unloading needs to be regulated

A sea container contains between 20 and 30 tons of cargo. Unloading them is a logistical, time-consuming and physical feat. This is where intelligent robot systems from Copal can provide support, with SEW supplying the appropriate drive and automation technology.

Universal crane with turning function

Safe lifting and turning of loads

Demag is introducing a new standard function for its universal crane range: With an optional package of measures, the crane installations can be equipped with a load turning function which, according to the manufacturer, achieves the highest level of safety - without the additional engineering effort previously required.

Reach into the box

New best values for bin-picking thanks to optimal path planning

Isra Vision presents a sensor with multi-pick function that enables 60 picks per minute. The reliable calculation of collision-free robot paths ensures fast and safe operation with the shortest cycle times.
