Grasping and plugging cables is child's play! For us humans, yes. However, automated processing of such flexible parts presents robots with considerable challenges. Nevertheless, the potential is huge; in terms of efficiency and quality as well as in terms of relieving employees, for instance when it comes to handling large, heavy cables.
ExÂpensÂive maÂchine and vehicle breakÂdowns due to unÂdetecÂted faults in heavy-duty fixed flange bearÂings: these will soon be a thing of the past thanks to a new genÂerÂaÂtion of two- and four-hole fixed flange bearÂings. Their speÂcial feaÂture is that the bearÂings, which are made of lubÂricÂaÂtion-free high-perÂformÂance plastic, are equipped with miniÂature wireÂless sensors, enÂabling conÂdiÂtion monÂitÂorÂing and preÂdictÂive mainÂtenÂance.
With the rapid advancements in technology, there is increasing consumer demand for innovative, smart, and connected products that need to get to market more quickly, cost effectively and sustainably. Today, manufacturers must deliver on these expectations as they deal with increasing design and production complexity, as well as global supply-chain issues that impact time-to-market.
