Robovent Acquires Reinair!

The addition of Reinair Systems helps to solidify RoboVent's growing presence in the southeast U.S. region.

STERLING HEIGHTS, MICHIGAN - John Reid, president of RoboVent Products Group announced the acquisition of Reinair Systems of Knoxville, Tennessee. Reinair is a provider of turnkey dust and fume collection systems for metalworking processes used in the automotive and construction equipment manufacturing industries.


RoboVent is known as a leading provider of ventilation systems for manufacturing that improve production quality and employee safety. Their systems and products can be found in manufacturing facilities engaged in metalworking and other process systems across North America.

The addition of Reinair Systems helps to solidify RoboVent's growing presence in the southeast U.S. region where they already serve customers in the automotive and transportation industries. Earlier Reid described his growth strategy: "We identified markets where we know RoboVent can make important contributions to the success of key manufacturing segments." The industries in this geographic territory "fit our strategy perfectly."

In addition to their innovative air filtration technology, RoboVent provides customized solutions with value-added services such as single-source convenience, installation, industry-leading warranties and maintenance programs. Some of the industries RoboVent serves are automotive, industrial machinery, food processing, chemical and pharmaceutical. Air ventilation and filtering for process systems in these facilities is RoboVent's area of expertise.

Greg Carmichael, formerly General Manager of Reinair, is now Sales Manager of the Southeast Region for RoboVent. "Becoming a part of RoboVent has streamlined our operations. Before we covered a lot of the same territories. Now we're able to focus more on specific areas. We're more efficient now," said Carmichael. RoboVent has retained all of Reinair's employees in Knoxville. The combined strength of the two companies also means that Carmichael and his staff can now offer expanded engineering services in collaboration with the engineering staff at RoboVent's Michigan headquarters.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
