For perfect motion transmission, WITTENSTEIN has developed a new fully scalable series of servo actuators, called “premo”.

Represented in Italy by Servotecnica, AMK is an industrial automation partner of excellence.

Omron launches Sysmac IPC, the first PC to feature two operating systems, guaranteeing independent logic and motion controls, while the concern’s new generation of industrial computers (available in box + monitor as well as panel PC versions) receives an award for its innovative value and quality design.

Available late 2016, SimSci Schneider Electric Online is the first cloud software platform for design-, simulation, process optimization solutions and training for the same available in the “as a service” mode.

At the Mechatronic Forum of 12 October last, result of the synergy between Gruppo Meccatronica belonging to ANIE Automazione and Messe Frankfurt Italia, Festo intervened on how information technology and telecommunications are combining to change the way factories look and the way they work.

Elabora Srl has been creating innovative software solutions for SMEs since 1987, and today the concern is divided into four divisions: software development, basic assistance, senior consulting and systems.

To meet modern packaging requirements, ie the demand for an evermore automatic management of the end or beginning of the line, with loading/unloading and palletizing performed by automated systems, Sipro has developed its own range of Delta geometry robots with parallel axis kinematics for picking functions.

Reduction of food damage during pick&place operations, thanks to SICK 3D vision technology combined with ABB automation.

WITTENSTEIN offers iTAS, the first modular and completely scalable transmission system for automated guided vehicles (AGVs), which uses simco® drive with integrated webserver functionality.

On M.C.M. electronic machines, Siemens servo-drives and servomotors guarantee high performance and state-of-the-art diagnostics capabilities.

Servotecnica announces the new Motion Controller V 3.0 and Motion Control Systems MCS series of Faulhaber (of which the concern is a distributor), introducing controllers and motors with integrated electronics featuring EtherCAT protocol for micromotors.

SICK presents the DFS60S Pro incremental coder, which guarantees reliable monitoring on vehicles in motion (such as AGVs).

Total protection from rust and oxidization, fast and reliable cleaning and disinfecting, directly process integratable, shield against strong jets of water, even at high temperature, high pressure steam devices or temporary immersion; lubrication with food compatible fats.

In order to celebrate 70 years of business in the field of industrial automation, logistics and process, and over 20 years since the founding of its Italian subsidiary, Sick has doubled its presence at SPS, setting up two stands.

Panasonic confirms itself as a global partner in the automation industry with an offer specialized in motion, control and sensing solutions.

Global specialist in energy and automation management, Schneider Electric offers OEMs in all sectors an innovative range of components and architectures, focusing on three areas of application: energy efficiency and sustainability, availability and performance of the assets.

Leader in the precision sector, Wittenstein presented a wide spectrum of drive and control solutions at SPS: from low-backlash planetary gearboxes to orthogonal servo reducers, from complete drive units up to the advanced cymex® sizing software.

Manufacturer and distributor of industrial automation systems and components, Vipa Italia, which took part at SPS 2016 from the YASKAWA stand, following its buy-up by the said company, exhibited one of its leading solutions: the new compact SLIO CPU 013, which combines, in a single housing, the PLC CPU with integrated SPEED7 technology in analogue and digital inputs/outputs, as well as dedicated…

Intelligent, decentralized, capable of self-controlling themselves and facilitating plant monitoring, thanks to the remotely consultable data streams.
