Artificial intelligence is increasingly finding its way into the world of work and advancing automation technology. The products, systems, machines and plants for automation are networked with each other up to completely autonomous machines as part of the larger whole smart manufacturing. Our coverage shows the components, systems and applications of automation technology for process and factory automation from the sensor to grab, Communication technology, control and regulation technology, IT up to and including robots.
Special industries like Automotive industry, Renewable energies, Technical Building Services, Medical Technology, food technology, Microsystems Technology, Mobile Machinery require specially designed developments and knowledge. Here we introduce you to the latest innovations. You will also find news from and for the here Applied research.
The automation technology also forms Electrical Engineering, Drive Technology and other engineering scientific disciplines form the basis of such buzzword-rich developments as Industry 4.0, digital transformation or smart factory, which is particularly important in... Industrial machinery and equipment change our industrial production and manufacturing forever at a rapid pace. The following innovations are part of the bigger picture:
Igus presents the Service robot Rebel. Just one year after the first presentation of the modular gearbox for cobots, igus is already recording 20 automation projects per week. In doing so, igus relies entirely on its Motion Plastics expertise: the use of plastic makes the robot, weighing 8,2 kg, the lightest service robot with cobot function in its class. All mechanical components in the Rebel are developed and manufactured by igus.
Turck offers non-contact and conventional Encoder in different designs. The encoders are incremental, absolute with hollow shaft or solid shaft in sizes from 24 to 102 mm diameter. They are vibration-resistant, robust and work even in demanding environments. We present you here the new developments such as the recent ones Profinet absolute rotary encoder.
An exact positioning and speed control of Elevator cars is a prerequisite for optimal driving. With encoders Any distance / time curves can be used for position and speed detection. While up for speed detection Incremental offer, you realize with the positioning Absolute encoders. The position values will not be lost even after a power failure and referencing are unnecessary. Baumer offers an extensive range of encoders for the Elevators.
A pair of telecentric lens commonly found in industrial Image Processing Mission. In three-dimensional measurements, it sometimes even surpasses the accuracy of non-contact or laser-based measurement methods. The telecentricity offers the highest accuracy and repeatability. Below we present you New Products like the telecentric lens for white LED light from Vision & Control:
Machine vision or the solutions of industrial Image Processing penetrate ever further into industrial areas, where the best image quality, highest resolution and high speeds are required. SVS-Vistek provides the new one GigE Vision industrial camera SHR461CX from the high-resolution SHR series.
Here you will find the latest developments in the field of optical sensors for measuring distance, presence, position etc. You can find out everything about it in our article State of the art, diverse applications and you will receive answers to your questions about optical sensors. Read how an optical sensor can meet your needs.
With its compact, calibrated Light section sensors "Poscon" offers Baumer a unique solution portfolio for the efficient measurement of object geometries. The sensors using the light section method close the gap between tactile sensor solutions and complex 3D measurement technology. Thanks to the combination of technical functionality, quick commissioning and easy handling, they offer new and efficient solutions for parts inspection.
Sensorsthat generate large amounts of data can use digital interfaces for Industry 4.0 record and provide the required information. However, systems are also required which convert data into information. IFM Electronic now presents the first module of the digitization platform Moneo to create open and scalable solutions.
A pair of Accelerometer or accelerometer precisely measures acceleration forces and is used in applications that require motion analysis and control. They measure static or dynamic personnel and can Direction and acceleration capture. Discover new products, applications and basic knowledge in this article.
In recent years, the need for sensors to record geometric variables has increased significantly in all areas of industrial applications. The optimal solution for every need requires a customized sensor that can be selected according to the criteria of measuring range, resolution, accuracy, design and environmental conditions. AB Jödden has suitable ones for all applications analog sensors – from inductive to capacitive, in miniature and Atex versions.
Inductive sensors from Turck detect contact-free based on the wear-free functional principle metal objects. The Uprox sensors are characterized by their special coil concept. The factor 1 sensors offer the largest switching distance on metals. A new inductive sensor based on the Uprox technology has now become cuboid for the Logistics developed and another for the first time carbon capture. Detailed information and further new developments from the inductive product group Sensors can be found below:
Electrical and pneumatic grab are used in automated production and assembly. during a electrical Gripper works on the basis of power supply, uses the pneumatic Gripper compressed air. Electric grippers are particularly advantageous for applications that require continuous force, while pneumatic grippers can be used successfully in dirty or wet environments. In this article we will introduce you to new products.
With his portfolio for the Low cost automation möchte Igus Make it easier for companies to get started with automation. Small and medium-sized companies in particular are to be cleared of the hurdles. For this purpose, the motion plastics specialist has built up a broad network of more than 75 robotics suppliers and 40 integrators over the past three years. Here you can find out everything about the world of Igus robot from Strain wave gear to the delta robot.
