Getting the best performance from your production machinery

Getting the best performance from your production machinery

All manufacturers seek to maximise the reliability and effectiveness of their production machinery whilst driving down the total cost of ownership. But how can companies achieve this within budget and often in the absence of necessary skills? Phil Burge, Marketing and Communications Manager at SKF offers an industry-leading strategy for improving the performance of manufacturing assets.

Robots take their pick in plastic moulding application

Robots take their pick in plastic moulding application

A Mitsubishi Electric robot, PLC and HMI combination has provided PCE Automation with an ideal solution for its latest take-out system for plastic injection stretch blow moulding (ISBM) machinery. The MK5 which also supports integrated leak testing of plastic containers is based on a Q-series PLC, a MELFA six-axis articulated arm robot and a GOT Series touch-screen HMI. The resulting machine not only reduces transfer and testing times but also provides greater flexibility to adapt for different production runs.

Laser distance sensing at under £2000

Laser distance sensing at under £2000

Sensors UK says the Dimetix D-Series lasers have market leading repeatability and reliability with a measurement range spanning 0.5m to 500m and maximum outputs rate of 1kHz. They are versatile performers in a wide range of applications where there is a need to measure the distance to objects that are static or moving in the line of sight of the sensor. The sensors have an extensive range of applications from position control and collision prevention of cranes, non-contact measurement in steel processing, to management of vehicles in freight yards or traffic lanes. The sensors can be factory-fitted by machine builders or easily mounted on buildings and plant.

Miniature sensors for challenging object detection applications

Miniature sensors for challenging object detection applications

Baumer has introduced a new range of optical miniature sensors which it says raise the standard of precisely detecting challenging objects across a wide range of applications. Slightly larger than a honey bee with a housing size of 8mm, 0200 miniature sensors provide reliable and excellent detection, even for challenging objects ultra-black, shiny, transparent or small objects down to a size of 0.25mm.
