Robotics for beginners
One step and an Ethernet cable is all it takes to integrate LoadMate Plus into your shop.
Automation for aerospace
Automated deburring can meet demands for high quality in the aerospace industry.
WT500/1000 Series
This system is capable of transporting wire gauges from 1 to 20 and tube sizes from Ø 0.250 mm to Ø 12.7 mm. The WT500/1000 provides quick setups for part changeovers with a belt-driven automatic diameter adjustment transport. Laser selections include nano, pico, and femtosecond UV and NIR sources as well as mechanical spindle drilling assemblies with upwards of 80kRPM of speed for precision quality hole formation.
XYZ Nanopositioning Stage
The compact 3-axis linear nanopositioning stage is based on PI's A-142 mini air bearing linear slide and suited for high precision, high-dynamics positioning, scanning and alignment applications in fields such as fiber optics, photonics, semiconductors, micro-mechanical systems, etc.
Damage control
Tool monitoring not only prevents breakage but drives down costs.
ASTES4 High Speed ADVANCED
The system is a solution for fabricators facing worker shortages and bottlenecks resulting from the increased productivity of higher-volume fiber lasers. The high-speed modular sorting solution significantly maximizes the productivity and efficiency of downstream operations.
ProCamPAC PRO Programmable Limit Switch (PLS)
A new Toggle Cam Output performs an asymmetrical toggle function, turning an output off or on for different stroke amounts. The output can be used to operate diverter gates and to control complex gagging operations. The new On/Off Counter Cam Output precisely controls functions that need to operate at a preset interval instead of on every machine cycle. Operating similarly, a new Pulsed Counter Cam Output is programmed with an "on angle" and a dwell time instead of an on-off output.
Reshoring/manufacturing perspectives for near-post-COVID
JM Performance Products and The Reshoring Initiative analyze "near-post-COVID" parameters with a trajectory focus on training, technology, supply chain, production, and reshoring.
TwinCAT 3e Automation Software Add-On
TwinCAT 3 offers numerous options for connecting TCP/IP-based third-party systems to the main control program: OPC UA, MQTT, HTTPS and Modbus are some prominent examples of the comprehensive range of supported communication protocols. The TwinCAT S7 Communication (TF6620) function now expands this broad spectrum to include the S7 communication protocol.
Robot density nearly doubled globally
The use of industrial robots in factories around the world is accelerating at a high rate: 126 robots per 10,000 employees is the new average of global robot density in the manufacturing industries.
RSH Electric Hygienic Rod-Style Actuator
The RSH is designed for forces up to 7,943 lbf (35kN), speeds up to 20 in/sec (498 mm/sec) and stroke lengths up to 48 in. (1200mm). It is available in both ball screw and roller screw options. While ball screws are an economical option with medium life and force capabilities, roller screws (manufactured by Tolomatic) provide higher force capability, increased life and improved accuracy.
