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.

The new generation of products is a logical development of the successful EKS system and has many advantages in terms of digital access control and the selection of a safe operating mode. Benefits for you: - Simple implementation thanks to project templates with predefined functions and data fields - Simple assignment of access rights via input screens - Simple authorization blocking via an expiration date - Simple implementation of security standards for data handling and the assignment of rights - Simple integration in any PROFINET environment and systems from any manufacturer

Eplan Copilot is Eplan’s first AI solution. It is integrated into the Eplan Platform and acts as a connecting element between the individual systems. It enables users to formulate tasks in natural language and thus operate the software intuitively. This means you no longer need to be familiar with every function – the AI simply makes them accessible. “We want to give users the best possible support in using and mastering our software for their tasks,” says Sebastian Seitz, CEO at Eplan.

As an advanced solution for engineers, technicians, and research institutions developing next-generation measurement systems, the NanoSen Force Matrix Kit enables precise, simultaneous multi-point force detection using our PNC Material and Force Sensing Impedance Technology. This plug-and-play system delivers accurate, high-resolution force mapping - ideal for rapid prototyping, tactile sensing research, and system integration.

Frameless motors have only two main components - stator and rotor - in common with conventional motors. This is a decisive advantage when it comes to tailor-cut design and individual integration into customer-specific systems. Due to the direct integration into machines or device assemblies and the hollow shaft concept with cable, compressed air, vacuum, fiber optic and laser feedthroughs, frameless motors require very little space. At the same time, they are highly efficient and durable and run stably and reliably in quiet operation. The KOCO MOTION motors are characterized by an immediate peak torque of up to 2400 Nm, a maximum motor speed of up to 900 rpm and a high level of user-friendliness. The frameless motors are also highly precise. They are backlash-free during high-precision and high-speed operations and have an extremely high level of positioning accuracy. KOCO MOTION supports and advises on the optimal design and integration of the modularly configurable frameless motors into customer systems. Since the compact motors are used in a wide variety of industries, such as robotics, mechanical engineering, packaging technology, semiconductor manufacturing or medical technology, it is important to precisely adapt and select all the necessary motor components. This is the only way to really get the best out of the frameless motor.

Waterfall Security enables secure and reliable operations through software-enabled hardware platforms. Their solutions protect against both today’s cybersecurity challenges and those yet to come.

Compact, fully integrated solution with servo amplifier, motor, and sensors in one device

Inefficient assembly processes and frequent errors lead to production delays and quality problems. There is often a lack of clear guidance and support for workers to perform their tasks efficiently. Lack of visibility into the progress of assembly jobs makes it difficult to effectively manage production flow and identify bottlenecks early. Overcoming these challenges requires a worker assistance system that provides clear guidance, real-time feedback, and comprehensive monitoring of assembly processes. Peakboard’s interactive dashboard provides your workers with all the information and guidance they need to complete assembly jobs accurately and error-free. By combining descriptive texts, images, technical drawings and material lists, the assembly steps are visualized in a clear and understandable way. The system also records important parameters during the assembly process to enable real-time monitoring and evaluation. This includes, for example, recording the time required and counting the OK and NOK parts at the end of assembly. In addition, you can directly reorder the required materials in the internal warehouse logistics or, if necessary, report problems to production managers to reduce waiting times.

With "LineLIGHT Fusion", WERMA Signaltechnik presents a new, fully integrable solution for machine and system manufacturers that blends seamlessly into the design of modern machines and systems. The innovative series combines the highest standards of functionality and aesthetics while at the same time fulfilling the desire for an efficient and safe solution at the workplace. At the same time, it becomes an aesthetically pleasing design element of the machine or system itself, which can also provide acoustic warnings if required. Function and design combined for maximum efficiency The LineLIGHT Fusion series integrates the display of machine statuses directly into the machine surface and is therefore ideal for machine and system manufacturers who value a consistent, appealing machine design. The smooth surface of the unique light module is flush with the machine housing and thus ensures a modern, clear and functional appearance. LineLIGHT Fusion therefore stands out from conventional, often retrofitted solutions and impresses as a visual unit within the machine housing. Another highlight: this unique signalling solution meets the strict requirements for hygiene and protection by minimising edges, where dirt can build up, and avoiding openings - ideal for hygienically sensitive production environments, as the ingress of dust and liquids into the interior of the machine is reliably prevented. Optimum visibility and maximum flexibility LineLIGHT Fusion ensures clear and reliable display of machine and operating statuses thanks to the homogeneous illumination of the elegant light body. The modules are flexible and customisable: they can be configured in 50 mm increments between 100 mm and 1,500 mm, catering for an enormously wide range of applications.
