Automation & Controls

Building a smart factory requires a smart approach. Over the past decade, new technologies have increasingly permeated the factory floor. Automation, always a part of manufacturing, has quickly escalated thanks to ever-increasing computer processing power and data storage.

Machine tool monitoring systems provide real-time visibility of a shop floor.

Aside from having low energy consumption, the servohydraulic press is also considerably quieter. In addition, it only requires a tenth of the hydraulic oil needed by a conventional hydraulic press.

AMF clamping technology supports production at a pioneering Hungarian supplier.

The dual gripper system on the versaLoad allows manufacturers to reduce part loading times by as much as 50% when compared to a single gripper setup. This allows the automation cell to operate with maximum efficiency, enabling versaLoad users to boost productivity without having to increase headcount.

ANCA will have a Technology Days open house at its Wixom, Michigan, facility May 9 and 10.

Fixtureworks, a supplier of clamps, fixturing accessories, machine tool and material handling products, will showcase several product lines at the 2023 Automate Show.

At Eastec, Unisig plans to showcase automation that it says will take "deep-hole drilling machine efficiency and productivity to new levels."

The Linear Actuator FAULHABER L product family is designed for high performances in compact dimensions, it supports large input speed or high output force. It is well-suited for a wide range of applications like robotics, industrial machines and laboratory equipment. A large number of reduction ratios, uniformly distributed, are available to select the most appropriate configuration to fit various force or speed operating points as required by the application.

ANCA Americas in Wixom, Michigan, a manufacturer of CNC grinding machines, has announced its participation at PMTS in Cleveland from April 18 to 20 at Booth 4077.
