The NC joining module Integrated Joining System IJSys Type 2168A... with integrated servo amplifier, strain gauge force sensor, and functional safety for a nominal joining force of 2.5 kN is particularly suitable for force-displacement-monitored assembly and joining processes. - Standardized interface according to ISO 15552 - Force sensor for precise measurement and process control - Easy installation thanks to integrated power electronics - High dynamics thanks to direct drive - Compact design The Integrated Joining System IJSys Type 2168A... electromechanical joining modules combine all the components necessary for a reliable joining process in a compact and robust housing. The ball screw drive converts the rotary motion of the integrated servomotor into linear motion, enabling standard functions such as joining to block, position and force-controlled joining, as well as movement to intermediate positions. Force measurement is performed by the strain gauge force sensor integrated in the flange, which is digitized directly in the unit. In addition to the sensor- and drive technology, the safety technology required for operation is also integrated. Safe Torque Off (STO) and a holding brake with Safe Brake Control (SBC) are available for this purpose. Correct wiring of the safety technology, a 24 VDC supply to the logic, and a 48 VDC supply to the power unit are required for operation. Communication with the joining module takes place in real time via EtherCAT. In addition to force-displacement information, control and status signals are also transmitted. In combination with maXYmos NC Type 5847C... from variant C0 onwards, all known options for process control and monitoring are available. The fieldbus slave interfaces provided enable communication with the system via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, or EtherCAT. The Ethernet interface can be used to transfer quality data via various protocols, as well as for visualization via VNC and data backups.

Mini-inline - Laser protection nose for integrable laser markers Simplify your laser marking machine integration with our Mini-inline: this laser safety concept protects the laser beam and facilitates particle extraction while freeing you from the costs and constraints of a class 1 laser enclosure. - SAFE No need for a bulky class 1 laser housing, the Mini-inline isolates the laser beam while the safety sensors make sure the part and Mini-inline are present: maximum laser engraver safety for the operator and his work environment. - COMPACT Thanks to its size, the Mini-inline is easily added to your existing production line. It allows the integration of our industrial laser marking system in very narrow areas, to engrave the necessary information on a wide range of parts. - COST-EFFECTIVE This accessory has the advantage of being cheaper than a class 1 laser protection housing: lower purchase price, and no pre-study cost for the final installation. In addition of the time saved installing the Mini-inline on the laser marker.

ModPCB is a camera-based worker guidance system that provides step-by-step instructions for assembly while inspecting every assembly step and every component. This allows errors to be identified as soon as they occur and corrected immediately. Thanks to the native integration of AI, ModPCB covers a wide range of applications. These include, among others, the inspection of THT-assembled circuit boards, cables, screw connections, or any type of order picking work. In ModPCB, test programs are based on AI models that can be created using the in-house AI building tool ModOFFICE. The AI models are trained using images taken directly from the production line. This allows even the smallest defects to be detected without generating false positives. Thanks to its compact design, ModPCB integrates seamlessly into existing production lines. A range of add-ons such as lighting, a augmented reality projector and pick-by-light systems, as well as the integration of external hardware like industrial screwdrivers, further enhances compatibility. Like all Vision4Quality software, ModPCB is based on the no-code principle. Creating test programs, executing them, and reading production data is intuitive and requires no programming.

Skiving Heatsinks – Redefining Efficient Heat Dissipation: High-Performance Aluminum & Copper Heatsinks for Your Thermal Challenges When maximum cooling performance meets precision – skiving heatsinks are the best solution for powerful heat dissipation in the smallest possible space. This advanced technology for passive heat dissipation in demanding applications offers you high-precision, custom-manufactured skiving heatsinks. Skiving heat sinks impress with excellent thermal properties, high surface quality, and maximum customization – ideal for use in electronics, power electronics, LED technology, and industrial control systems. What is a Skiving Heatsink? In the skiving process, a fin structure is cut from a solid block of metal – usually aluminum or copper – by means of a precision machining process (skiving). The fins remain firmly attached to the base plate, ensuring outstanding heat transfer – completely free of air gaps as found in pressed-fin heatsinks, and without adhesives or solder joints. Skiving heatsinks can achieve fin ratios that are not possible with the extrusion process.

Continuous Filament Fabrication (CFF) is a patented technology that allows Markforged users to produce 3D printed components with extreme stability. With this technology, the continuous fibre is additionally inserted into the component via a second nozzle in the print head. It is called continuous fibre because it has only one start and one end point per layer. This allows you to achieve stabilities that are superior to milled aluminium in outstanding quality! Thanks to the supplied and optimally adjusted EIGER software, you can insert the continuous fibre individually per layer and, of course, also over the entire surface. Carbon, Kevlar, glass fibre and high-temperature glass fibre are available as continuous fibre reinforcement.
