OLRP Makes Touch-Sensing Easy
Touch-sensing is used to adjust the weld positions on real parts that fluctuate due to manufacturing imperfections. First, the robot needs a "Master Point" or a "Master Program"; a program where the points are in the ideal location in space.
UltraFlex performing induction curing for automotive parts within 60 seconds, under strict temperature requirements
By using induction-based curing for this manufacturing process and thanks to the precise, digital control on the temperature of the heated parts, the manufacturer would achieve a more time- and cost-efficient process that would ensure no damage to the paint of the parts.

New incremental encoder IERF3 L from FAULHABER
FAULHABER is expanding its product range with the ultra-precise incremental encoder IERF3 L. Thanks to the optical measuring principle and state-of-the-art chip technology, the device offers the highest resolution, excellent repeatability, and outstanding signal quality. In typical applications, the positioning accuracy is 0.1° and the repeatability 0.007°. This makes the encoder the perfect solution for high-precision positioning applications in confined spaces.
