Advanced Manufacturing Event Returns to Houston
UBM Canon brings PBS Texas, TexasPack, and other trade shows to NRG Center, October 13-14
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 14, 2015 -- Powder & Bulk Solids (PBS) Texas, TexasPack, Design & Manufacturing Texas, ATX Texas, PLASTEC Texas, AeroCon, and Quality Expo will bring hundreds of exhibitors to the NRG Center (formerly the Reliant Center), in Houston, Texas, October 13-14, 2015.
Along with all of the many suppliers demonstrating their technologies and expertise, there will be free presentations on the Center Stage, including a Combustible Dust Explosion Demonstration by professionals from REMBE, a Powder and Bulk Solids jeopardy-style trivia game run by Andrés Orlando of Jenike & Johanson, and a demonstration and discussion of what 3D printing can do, by Samantha Snabes, founder of re:3D, inc. a company that specializes in large scale3D printing.
In addition to all that is on the expo floor, two different two-day conferences tracks will delve into the powder and bulk solids industry; one track is on Fundamentals, and the other is Advanced. Special sessions will deal with safety, including fire and explosion hazards, which are so important in the processing industry.
Of interest to all industries will be a day-long conference on 3D printing, with discussions on new materials and the future of 3D printing, with experts from Stratasys, Senvol, Limitless Solutions, and more. There will also be a day-long conference on Quality, presented by the American Society for Quality (ASQ), which includes a session on what's new with ISO 9001:2015.

Featured Product
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.
