A research group at the Institute for Control Engineering of Machine Tools and Manufacturing Units (ISW) at the University of Stuttgart is working on models that also take object dynamics into account when calculating robot control sequences and trajectories.

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.

Fast positioning, fast tool changes - machine manufacturers offer speeds of up to 100 m/min in G0 rapid traverse. In practice, however, feed speeds of 3 to 8 meters are usually only used for machining.

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.
Simulation before commissioning
Reprogramming or even mechanical modifications to a system during commissioning can be avoided if commissioning is tested in advance on a digital twin. What's more, if the digital twin of the virtual system is made up of individual assemblies, the designer can try out different variants in advance.
Each additional forming stage enables greater complexity in the production of functional parts. Servo technology opens up new production possibilities. In order to be able to offer a wider range of parts, Arnold Umformtechnik has therefore invested in new press technology.

In the "Design/Manufacturing Closed-Loop" for cylindrical gears developed by KISSsoft, the manufacturing deviations are fed back to the desired properties of the design.

With ROTU and PARU, the manufacturer Hofmann & Stirner Feeding Systems has combined the flexibility of a robot with the performance of a vibratory feeder. The increase in performance is possible thanks to digitalization: AI evaluates feasibility, simulation designs the sorting tools.

A compact arc welding cell and a 3D simulation tool from Kawasaki Robotics make the automation of welding processes simpler, more flexible and more cost-efficient.
