Ultrasonic Sensor with IO-Link for IIoT Applications
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.
Digitally capturing environmental and machine data for proactive decision-making
High protection against dust and humidity in industrial applications
Sizes from 7 to 24 inches in IP20 and IP65 protection ratings
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.
The HERMES AWARD, one of the world's most coveted industry prizes, was presented by Cem Özdemir, Germany’s Federal Minister of Education and Research at the opening ceremony of HANNOVER MESSE on 30 March 2025.
From driving a pump to actuating an injector, medical devices that provide patient treatment rely on motion systems. Dependent on the profile of the medication, the environment of use, and the needs of the patient, these devices could be disposable, intended for one-time use, or reusable. This decision directly impacts the motion system specification, so to ensure a smooth development process and quality patient outcome, motion design should be involved at the earliest opportunity.
The newly developed D-Ankle prosthesis from Design Pro Technology makes this possible. Instead of the usual passive suspension at the foot components, the prosthesis assists its user by means of motor power. As is the case with a natural gait, the artificial foot is actively bent up and down with each step. The gait becomes more harmonious, more stable and less tiring. An intelligent controller finds the correct gait rhythm and a brushless motor from FAULHABER provides the necessary propulsion.
RODE, the acronym for RObotic DEpalletiser, is a pioneering product from AWL in the intralogistics market. The robotic solution is able to efficiently process packages randomly arranged on a pallet, setting it apart from conventional systems.
When testing wheelchairs, manufacturers play it safe for understandable reasons. That is why three aspiring mechanical engineers took no risks when they developed a drop test construction for wheelchairs on behalf of the renowned German company MEYRA. They relied on miniature shock absorbers made by ACE to protect the inner life of their construction.
With its radar imager, Balluff scans through packages for completeness, integrity, and foreign objects. Customers can benefit from efficient, in-line quality control at the end of the line.
Collaborative robots, or cobots, are making their presence felt in ever more applications, working alongside humans wherever production requires the decision making and discrimination abilities of humans, combined with unceasing production, dexterity and precision of cobots.
