3D printing in companies is booming. Design engineers are printing special components and wear-resistant parts themselves without further ado. However, the projects stand or fall on the quality of the printing material, warns Jonas Burk, Head of Additive Manufacturing at igus. The fact that 3D printing with high-performance polymers from igus is worthwhile is not only proven by the service life tests. Customers can also manufacture their products more economically and faster than injection moulding.

Maximum productivity requires not only precision manufacturing processes, but also smooth disposal of the generated waste materials. This is exactly where the new, fully automated waste disposal solution from KABELSCHLEPP Hünsborn comes in, which has just been successfully commissioned at the factory of agricultural machinery manufacturer AGCO Fendt in Asbach-Bäumenheim, Germany. The intelligent conveyor system ensures a smooth flow of materials – with minimum use of personnel and maximum efficiency.

Multispectral image enhancement offers faster and easier measurements and diagnoses
Digital Interfaces for Efficient Process Automation with Pyrometers or Infrared Cameras
Laser triangulation sensors measure variables such as displacement, distance and position on a non-contact, wear-free basis. The most important sensor features are high performance, a compact design and the ability to stabilize the signal with changing surfaces. Micro-Epsilon has now equipped its sensors with the advanced IO-Link interface to network multiple sensors in the factory.

Versatile optoelectronic sensors for easy integration
The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft will be represented at the world’s largest industrial trade show with a joint booth showcasing highlights from different technological fields.
Today, vision sensors can be used to implement first-class solutions for many sensor tasks in production, quality assurance, logistics, packaging, and beyond. Raw data sensors offer the greatest possible flexibility in terms of adaptation to special requirements and customer wishes. On the customer side, however, this is associated with a comparatively high programming effort. The SmartRunner Explorer 2-D and 3-D device family from Pepperl+Fuchs shows that this does not have to be the case.
The acquisitions correspond to a global sales volume of € 65 million and an increase in the number of employees of 750.

Particularly in the field of precision manufacturing, many companies have neither the necessary personnel nor the corresponding vertical integration to develop mechanics and control systems in parallel. As a result, the supplier's expertise is becoming increasingly important. And this is where Aerotech's real work begins: after a detailed integration consultation, customers receive either individual components, a seamlessly integrated subsystem or a complete automation solution.
nokra GmbH of Baesweiler produces laser measuring systems for contactless measurement of geometric properties as an integral part of the production process. Since the objects being measured can become quite hot, effective thermal management is essential in such systems. This task is performed by extremely flat liquid-cooled heat sinks from CTX Thermal Solutions.
