    2. 3D printing for compact complete drives

      3D printing for compact complete drives

      3D-printed parts are being successfully used in an increasing number of applications. GERDT SEEFRID GmbH is now using this highly flexible manufacturing method in series production to adapt electronic components to its DC/BLDC motors. This enables cost-effective solutions, particularly for customized solutions in small to medium quantities. For example, optical encoders can be mounted precisely and quickly on the motors or, as in a current project, a motor controller can be mounted and pre-wired directly onto the back of a motor's gearbox. The housing and adapters are developed specifically for each project, are easy to install, and can also be adapted to other in-house motors with minor modifications. The customer thus receives a fully prepared drive "out of the box" and, after mechanically assembling the motor, only needs to attach the wiring. The drive system is then immediately ready for use.

    3. A Standard System for Conveying and Guiding

      A Standard System for Conveying and Guiding

      Individual and economical creation of perfect conveyor lines, thanks to new Ganter standard parts. Conveying and guiding via gravity (gravity transport/feeding) is an established principle for transporting parts or intermediate products from one automated process station to the next. Even with today’s agile handling robots, this clever type of conveyance remains relevant. It is therefore hardly surprising that Ganter, the market leader in standard parts, has had the key elements of roller and ball rails in its portfolio for years. The company is now rounding out this selection with additional practically designed elements for typical industrial applications. For instance, there are the indispensable side guides, which Ganter offers as simple plastic elements or as complex, double-row cylinder and ball roller elements. These allow even sensitive parts to be moved without damage. When two guide channels run in parallel, middle guides featuring rollers on both sides can be used. Segmented guides allow the creation of curves, where the individual segments are fixed in place tangentially with appropriate retaining profiles. Compatible and diverse retaining clips and brackets, support feet, end pieces, connecting strips, end caps, braking rails and lead-in guides ensure maximum freedom and professional solutions to even the most unique situations. Adjustments and modifications can be carried out quickly and easily as well, sometimes even without tools. More information on Ganter standard parts can be found on the internet at ganternorm.com

    5. AksIM-4™ with HIPERFACE DSL protocol: Market-leading absolute encoder, soon even easier to integrate in servo motor applications

      AksIM-4™ with HIPERFACE DSL protocol: Market-leading absolute encoder, soon even easier to integrate in servo motor applications

      We will soon introduce the AksIM-4™ absolute encoder with HIPERFACE DSL® (HDSL) protocol. This upcoming product will combine the proven capabilities of the AksIM-4™ series with seamless one-cable connectivity for servo motor applications – setting a new benchmark for compact, high-resolution motor feedback systems. AksIM-4™ will be the first open PCB hollow shaft encoder supporting HDSL communication protocol. Already established as the absolute no. 1 position encoder in robotics, the AksIM-4™ will be further optimized for automation and embedded motion control platforms through the integration of the HDSL protocol – a fast, digital communication protocol based on RS-485. The AksIM-4™ HDSL will be developed for space-constrained applications in industrial automation, and servo systems. Its flat PCB readhead combined with axially magnetised rings will enable precise, non-contact absolute position feedback, while minimizing system integration complexity. In addition, the encoder will support advanced features such as real-time temperature and speed monitoring, diagnostics and self-calibration through a robust resource communication structure. “The AksIM-4™ will be a perfect addition to our portfolio of HIPERFACE DSL supporting products and supporting a multi-sourcing strategy of OEMs. Its open PCB and hollow-shaft design will offer the kind of flexible, high-performance encoder our customers are looking for in integrated and space-sensitive motor solutions.” Clemens Bitsch, Strategic Product Manager at SICK AG. The integration of the HDSL protocol will enable power and communication to be transmitted over a single shielded twisted pair – reducing cable volume, simplifying installation, and allowing real-time data exchange for predictive maintenance and enhanced machine diagnostics. The protocol will support plug-and-play functionality and data handling, helping machine builders streamline commissioning and improve system reliability.

      Angelplatz achieves 405% higher efficiency with an automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) – payback in 2.2 years.

      Angelplatz achieves a 405% increase in efficiency with the STOROJET Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS), reaching full amortization after just 2.2 years. When moving into its new warehouse in 2022, the existing system was expanded and adapted to operational needs. Across 585 square meters of floor space, additional lifts now boost capacity, speed and process reliability. Custom load carriers with modular lengths between 50 and 90 centimeters enable flexible storage for diverse product sizes. Thanks to high system performance, Angelplatz operates its entire warehouse in a half-day shift with reduced labor costs, shorter routes and significantly fewer errors. The STOROJET AS/RS connects to any WMS and proves how efficient automation can transform warehouse logistics for medium-sized enterprises.

    7. Asyfill silo

      Asyfill silo

      In response to the growing demand for larger production capabilities, Asyril’s engineering team has developed the Asyfill silo to address the challenges faced by manufacturers seeking to optimize their operations. Available in three sizes, S, M or L, the Asyfill silo allows to extend the autonomy of the Asyfill smart hopper. Benefits: - Increased capacity: With the Asyfill silo, users can bid farewell to frequent refills, as the accessory extends the operating hours of the smart hopper, ensuring uninterrupted production cycles. - Precision flow control: Equipped with a modular comb mechanism, the Asyfill silo regulates parts flow, guaranteeing consistent performance and minimizing downtime. - Simple integration: Engineered for effortless installation, the silo features fixation supports that seamlessly integrate with the base plate fixations of the Asyfill’s base. This smart design eliminates the need for additional installations, saving valuable time and resources.

    8. Asyfill slide

      Asyfill slide

      Introducing our ingenious novelty specifically designed for the Asyfill smart hopper Do you have parts that are difficult to feed due to their shape or material? The Asyfill slide is the ultimate solution for these feeding challenges. Available in different sizes, each slide is a perfect fit for each Asyfill container. With its unique dual functionality, the Asyfill slide has one side with an anti-roll structured surface, and one side with a flat surface. Benefits: - Stop unintentional movement: Select the anti-roll surface side if your parts have a tendency to roll or move unintentionally. With its innovative design, the Asyfill slide ensures that such parts remain securely in place, preventing them from falling onto the Asycube feeder and disrupting production. - Prevent obstruction: Sometimes, long parts obstruct the field of view of the EYE+, this phenomenon reduces the picking area and therefore your machines’ performance. Using the flat side of the Asyfill slide ensures clear vision for your EYE+ smart control system.
