ABB"s new 3D inspection robot system makes quality control testing ten times faster

A 3D quality inspection robot system, up to 10 times faster than Coordinated Measuring Machine (CMM) systems, can dramatically accelerate production by providing fast, accurate testing to make metrology easier and less time consuming. Capable of detecting defects of less than half the width of a human hair and imperceptible to the naked eye, the 3D Quality Inspection (3DQI) solution eliminates the need for time consuming manual inspection, while substantially reducing the likelihood of faults and errors. As well as increasing productivity, the system also reduces costs by minimizing the risk of product defects that could lead to potential recalls.

Harnessed readycable for e-chains transmits energy and data securely in a compact installation space

In order to supply modern motors with energy and data, users need appropriate cables that function reliably, even at high accelerations and on long travels. Especially for dynamic use, Igus has now developed a hybrid cable that is offered as a drive solution for the new Bosch Rexroth motors. It combines an energy and data cable in one and is therefore also ideal for compact installation spaces. Igus also offers the cable as a fully harnessed readycable.
