Equipped with automatic tool-changing and multicoupling systems, Staubli’s HelMo moves itself from workstation to workstation, plugs itself in, and performs tasks without endangering its human coworkers.

Wireless Communications Solution Lowers Material Handling Time and Errors

ROEQ’s replaces Wi-Fi-dependent third-party setups with a sensor-based system that automatically lifts loads delivered by an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) to the proper height for delivery to a stationary conveyor.

Fully Automated Material Handling with ‘One System Fits All’ Module and Cobot-Armed Gates

The QM180 top module from Nord Modules increases the utility of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) by connecting with a cobot-powered gate to create the first fully autonomous material-handling system. It also handles half pallets, plastic boxes, carton boxes, and carts without changing top modules.

Tow Tractor Moves 11,000 Pounds Automatically or Manually via a Driver

Jungheinrich’s dual-mode EZS 350a NA automated guided vehicle (AGV) provides all the benefits of an electric truck with a laser-based navigation platform that requires no floor work.

RFP Fringe Probe Increases 5-Axis Measurement System Flexibility

Renishaw’s multisensor REVO 5-axis measurement system provides highly accurate scanning, non-contact inspection and surface finish analysis at ultra-high speeds on one coordinate measuring machine (CMM).

Submicron Surface Roughness Measurement

The LEXT OLS5100 laser microscope from Olympus guarantees measurement accuracy that simplify experiment workflows. The software’s several smart features minimize error with push-button scanning and analysis.

Surface Measurement for Non-Metrologists

OmniSurf3D from Digital Metrology Solutions helps users understand and communicate about surface texture without requiring a great deal of mathematical interpretation or metrology knowledge. The software provides the ability to interact with data from virtually any surface measurement instrument.

Improved Probe Provides Shop-Floor Measurements

Automated Precision’s portable vProbe performs CMM-style measurements on the shop floor and is more versatile than a portable-arm coordinate measuring machine (CMM).

Increase Profitability in Square Shoulder and Face Milling

Featuring square double-sided inserts with eight cutting edges, Iscar’s Neodo family of 90-degree indexable milling cutters enables face and shoulder milling in steel and cast iron as well as milling close to shoulders where there are workpiece or workholding fixture constraints.

Best of Both Worlds: Carbide’s Strength and Ceramic’s Speed

The phase-hardened ceramic substrate on Greenleaf’s XSYTIN-360 end mills provides ultra-high strength and wear resistance at twice the feed rate of carbide end mills when slotting, pocketing, and profiling high-temperature alloys and other difficult-to-machine materials.

New Tooling Cuts Shop’s Machining Costs By Almost Two-Thirds

A Tier 2 automotive supplier wasn’t getting the most possible out of its vertical machining center until the shop tooled up with the TOP-Cut VAR end mill and FPC milling/drilling chuck from Emuge.
