Sustainable and Precise: Energy-Efficient Coating with ACCURA Drop-on-Demand Technology In an era where sustainability and energy efficiency are key topics, IPR Robotics introduces a groundbreaking solution for precise and environmentally friendly coating with its ACCURA product family. Utilizing innovative Drop-on-Demand (DoD) technology, ACCURA revolutionizes the coating process, offering numerous benefits across various industries. PRECISION AND SUSTAINABILITY IN PERFECTION The Drop-on-Demand technology enables highly precise, contactless coating, where material droplets are only released when needed. Thanks to the ACCURA process, this results in edge-sharp coating without overspray. With a droplet output of up to 2,000 drops per second and the ability to intelligently overlay droplets with robots or gantries, sharp-edged lines are created that precisely cover the desired area. This process ensures not only optimal layer thickness but also high process safety and efficiency. VERSATILE APPLICATIONS OF ACCURA TECHNOLOGY The ACCURA technology is applied in a wide range of industries, offering tailored solutions for diverse coating requirements: Functional Coatings: Enhancing functionality and corrosion protection on battery modules and cells. Electronics: Precise application of solder pastes and protective coatings on circuit boards. Medical Devices: Biocompatible coatings that must be applied accurately and safely. Automotive Industry: Durable coatings for parts that must withstand high stresses and environmental conditions.

The TURCK Intelligent Vision (TIV) AI camera brings artificial intelligence directly to the production line. The self-learning camera processes image data for code recognition, quality control, classification, or process monitoring locally and in real time—without additional hardware or complex programming.

AK Compact – reduced to the max In the AK Compact series, ‘reduced to the max’ means maximum functionality with minimum space requirements, combined with practical features that offer real advantages. For us, reduction does not mean sacrifice, but rather a clear focus on the essentials. Robust materials, well-thought-out design and genuine suitability for everyday use – from new builds to renovations. Whether as AK 24 or AK 36: both models stand for uncompromising functionality and maximum performance in a compact form. They concentrate on the essentials and consistently dispense with everything that is not needed. The features of the new compact small distributors are specifically designed to make everyday work easier. They help to reduce installation times, avoid errors and ensure that processes become more efficient and safer. Every detail has been developed, tested and optimised with practical application in mind – meaning that the AK 24 and AK 36 impress not only in theory, but above all in everyday use. TOP FEATURES THAT IMPRESS IN PRACTICAL APPLICATION. Tool-free cable entry through soft membrane Screwless PE/N terminal Tool-free DIN rail mounting and removal Terminal pockets for WAGO 221 terminals The AK Compact is suitable for standard indoor installation. Both the AK 24 and AK 36 are the logical answer to modern requirements in residential and commercial construction: a space-saving, easy-to-install small distribution board – reduced to the essentials without compromising on performance.

The new VersiBrake Safe LP 480-60 Plc braking device keeps all performance and safety-relevant device values of a motor under control, so that all components are protected as much as possible during braking and maximum operational safety can be guaranteed. The European DIN standards (DIN EN ISO 13849-1:2016-06 / DIN EN 61508-1:2011-02) for the safety of woodworking machines are met. The safety functions include, for example, preventing unintentional start-up due to interference, monitored or controlled shutdown, activation of the (safety) door lock or external standstill monitoring with intelligent standstill detection.

The brand-new Siemens AI agent Eigen Engineering Agent enables efficiency gains of up to 50 percent in engineering tasks for automation. While conventional AI tools and copilots merely generate suggestions, the Eigen Engineering Agent operates within real-world technical systems and handles the planning, execution and validation of tasks from start to finish.

With our new conveyor belt inspection system, you can reliably and accurately detect and sort parts from 5 to 100 mm at belt speeds up to 30 m/min. The Keyence IV4 AI camera checks position and quality in real time. Defective parts are ejected contactlessly after just 50 mm (incorrect position) or 300 mm (quality defect) using targeted bursts of air – good parts continue unimpeded. No mechanical parts, no wear, and maximum repeatability. Perfect for automotive, electronics, medical technology, and packaging. Made in Germany

COEL offers a comprehensive portfolio of braking and drive solutions for industrial applications and potentially explosive atmospheres. This includes brake motors, explosion-proof brake motors, standard and explosion-proof brakes, explosion-proof motors, as well as flame-resistant limit switches and trailer stations. The products stand for reliable operation, high safety, and a long service life in demanding environments – for applications where safety, control, and availability are critical.

Peakboard & AI – building apps is finally even more fun If you’ve always thought Peakboard was simple, you haven’t tried Peakbot AI yet. With the new AI built right into Peakboard Designer, building apps is as easy as having a conversation: you simply say in plain language what you want your app to do – and Peakbot automatically translates that into ready-made logic blocks. No code, no guesswork, no frantic searching through the documentation. Or ask it about existing projects – you’ll get all the support you need, wherever you are. In short: Peakboard was already as easy as PowerPoint – now you’ve got an AI assistant to take the work off your hands. Your dashboard practically builds itself.

The SMELA liteECO® series is the most compact electromechanical alternative to pneumatic short-stroke cylinders thanks to its patented arrangement of motor and mechanics. This makes them ideal for the many linear movements required in production lines, machine tools or packaging systems. A servo motor including positioning sensors enables the movement of simple to complex profiles: for fixing, adjusting, locking and travelling any type of movement. The highly efficient motor saves up to 90 % energy compared to pneumatic systems. Together with the smart arrangement of the mechanics in the motor, the actuator saves up to 80 % installation space compared to existing electrical solutions. The liteECO® series also offers the option of simple refurbishment. The replacement of a worn mechanics is extremely simple and helps the actuators to achieve life cycles: sustainable, cost- and resource-saving. In addition to the servomotor and linear mechanism, the LE-INTEGRATED actuators have an integrated drive controller based on 24 volts and optionally on 48 volts. They are controlled via EtherCAT, CANopen or digital IOs. As with the BASE series, many of the advantages of electric drives are supplemented with essential features for high industrial requirements and packed into the smallest possible installation space. In addition to sealing to protection class IP65, conventional M8 and M12 circular connectors have been integrated in the A, B, L and Y coding’s. The maximum stroke is 85 or 115 millimeters, whereby any positioning within the maximum stroke is possible without restriction.
