Inline quality control systems are playing an increasingly important role in today’s manufacturing and production systems, helping to reduce downtime, minimising rejection rates and contributing to lower production costs and improved product quality.
Ergonomically designed and easily actuated with just a light touch, the new KT6 touch sensors from ifm electronic reduce operator fatigue and provide reliable switching even in wet environments and for users with gloved hands.
The binder Innovation & Technology Centre (ITZ) has developed a new direct printing technique that allows the application of functional electronic layers directly on a component.
Flow sensors in the new SM range from ifm electronic feature a slim design that allows them to be used side-by-side in the outlets from standard manifold boxes.
SICK is continuing the roll-out of its customisable SensorApps for ‘easy’ machine vision, with the launch of its Colour Inspection and Sorting App.
