Growing Adoption of Desktop Metal’s Shop System Is Enabling Affordable, Batch Production of High-Quality Metal Parts Throughout Europe. As Desktop Metal (NYSE: DM) continues to advance Additive Manufacturing 2.0 (AM 2.0) to reshape the future of manufacturing with mass production and turnkey AM solutions, the company is seeing growing European demand for metal binder jetting, including the Shop System, the world’s first metal binder jetting system designed for machine shops.
The new safety card PMCprotego S3 expands the drive-integrated safe motion solution PMCprotego DS, adding further safe motion monitoring functions in accordance with EN 61800-5-2. With these functions it is now possible to configure an application-specific error reaction in advance, flexibly and individually via the engineering tool PASmotion. That reduces machine downtimes, so that plants always achieve maximum productivity, despite the most varied of safety requirements. This guarantees high plant availability.
Innovative technologies are substantially reshaping industrial communications, enhancing their existing capabilities as well as providing new tools. Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is one of these and its essential role for industrial communications is becoming increasingly evident. This is why businesses should act now to implement TSN within their enterprises.
Newcomer in the Fill Future Lab. Young people gain their first experience of an industrial robot with the CRX-10iA from Fanuc. Fanuc’s first collaborating lightweight robot (Cobot) is the latest highlight in the Robo Lab, one of eight laboratories at the Fill Future Lab.
Kontron, a global leader in IoT/Embedded Computer Technology (ECT), is expanding its KBox A-series with the KBox A-150-WKL Box PC. With 8th Gen Intel® Core U or Intel® Celeron® processors, the KBox A-150-WKL delivers high computing performance with low power consumption. The compact Box PC offers a wide range of interfaces as well as numerous expansion options, predestining it for use in fieldbus environments and process control as well as for industrial firewalls and many other embedded applications. The KBox A-150-WKL can be easily integrated into a wide range of industrial environments by means of a DIN rail mounting option.
PICMG, a leading consortium for the development of open embedded computing specifications, announces the ratification of IoT.1 specification defining a communication standard between sensors / effecters and local IoT controllers such as micro Sensor Adapter Modules (microSAM) already specified by PICMGs IoT.0 specification.
congatec and MATRIX VISION present PCIe based high-speed vision technology. congatec and MATRIX VISION will showcase their new SMARC Computer-on-Module platform with PCI Express (PCIe) based camera module extension for the first time at Vision in Stuttgart.
The TSN/A conference has become one of the most important international meetings of experts in the field of industrial Ethernet standards. With the help of Time Sensitive Networking (TSN), standard Ethernet gains a new dimension through time-synchronous and deterministic data transmission. How these technologies will affect industry, automotive and the audio-video-consumer world are the central questions of this year's conference. Marcus Pietzsch from the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS will take a closer look at the latency of time-critical networks in his workshop.
