STEMMER IMAGING has extended its portfolio with the Zivid One+ 3D colour cameras from the Norwegian supplier Zivid since summer 2019. Our product manager Tim Huylebrouck describes his first experience with the 3D cameras.
SICK has announced a major technology upgrade to its VMS (Volume Measurement System) track and trace system, mastering previously unachievable throughput speeds and accuracy for non-contact dimensioning of goods, cartons and parcels regardless of shape.
The light but compact miniature coupling VERO-S NSR mikro 60 is particularly designed for small robots. It allows a low set-up of clamping station and pallet, leaving also enough room for components and the axis movement.
For the foundry, forging and machining industries, 2020 brings more flexibility and even better performance: with the new KUKA Foundry robots of the KR QUANTEC series, foundry robots are taking the next evolutionary stage.
Peter Müller, Vice President Product Center Modules at Kontron, a leading global provider of IoT/Embedded Computing Technology (ECT), comments on the background to the development of the new Computer-On-Module standard COM-HPC™:
In modern electrical systems, extensive monitoring by a wide range of sensors is often required in order to detect incipient insulation deterioration at an early stage and thus ensure both safety and high availability.
FAULHABER developed the new sterilisable 2057…BA family of motors especially for medical applications. In the sensor-free variant, the drives can withstand more than 1500 autoclave cycles. They are optimized for high speeds of up to 65,000 rpm, as are required in, e.g., the handpieces of dental equipment.
Global concern for the environment continues to drive developments in green technology and this is particularly notable in the increase in demand for electrical vehicles. As uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) increases, the EV battery industry has needed to grow in tandem. The specific benefits of HepcoMotion’s V guide system have proved invaluable in satisfying the requirement for new production facilities and processes.
