Interview with Thomas Suchanek, Yaskawa
Safety plays an important role in robotics in particular. We spoke to Thomas Suchanek from Yaskawa about current trends, safety terms that everyone should know and why safety can also become a risk.

Baumüller is presenting its solutions and systems for Industry 4.0 at the Hannover Messe. Motor concepts, intelligent integrated drive functions and high-performance control platforms will be on display at various stations.
Kuka robots in automotive production
Today, welding robots have become an integral part of the production facilities of many metalworking companies. In the 80s, however, hardly any companies used this technology. Yaskawa installed a V12B-RX welding robot at wheelchair specialist Meyra back in 1986.
Leantechnik positioning system
Leantechnik has developed the AFP modular system, with which different variants of a product can be produced economically on a single production line. The system was commissioned by a customer from the automotive industry.

In addition to Motoman robots for spot and arc welding, cutting and handling, Yaskawa also focuses on drive and control technology for metalworking machines.

Schmersal has presented the SLC/SLG 445 series of safety light grids and safety light curtains, which are also suitable for welding robots, for example, thanks to an integrated multiple scan function.
