Smart 2D profile sensors from Baumer are playing a key role in an automated sandwich and filled rolls production line at Germany company Weber Maschinebau. Baumer’s OXM 2D sensor provides precise edge control and positioning data, and delivers the calculated coordinates correctly in the units required.

When a customer required a pallet transfer system for the production of gate valves for water pipes, on which the valves could be assembled and buffered, it turned to mk.

STOBER has enhanced its One Cable Solution (OCS) so that users can now connect motors and drive controllers at distances of up to 100 using the EnDat 3 protocol from Heidenhain. The new single cable connection means that machine builders no longer need to use two cables to power the motor and transmit encoder data. It can all be done with this one hybrid cable.

Delta has supplied complete automation package for digital printing machines manufactured by Portugese specialist MTEX, including servo drives and motors, as well as a motion controller.

ABB’s YuMi dual-armed cobots are enabling the reshoring of production and helping to address challenges presented by workforce shortages for SUS Corporation, a major supplier of aluminium frames and die-cast aluminium components for the automotive and other manufacturing industries.

MAHLE Engine Systems Kilmarnock, a supplier of aluminium tin bi-metal and sinter (copper/bronze) bi-metal coils to MAHLE Bearings plants globally, has chosen the thicknessGAUGE system from Micro-Epsilon to measure the thickness of strip materials.

When British start-up Cambrian Robotics was looking to develop an AI-based vision solution for various robotics applications in manufacturing, it turned to IDS for the camera technology.

Matara UK, specialist in automation, pneumatics and linear motion products, has supplied linear rails and guides, and SFNHR precision ballscrews to Pernamatic Engineering for a new CNC Corner Transom Machine for uPVC double glazed windows.

When a manufacturer of batteries for electric vehicles needed a pallet circulation system with different interfaces to facilitate automated inspection of the battery modules, it turned to mk Profile Systems.

A robot-based 3D measuring system is helping an automotive manufacturer reduce the cycle times of its press lines. Four Ensenso 3D cameras from IDS Imaging Development Systems provide the basic data and thus the platform for process automation.
