    Wenglor’s weCat3D MLZL 2D/3D profile sensors enable exact seam placement in robot welding cells

    Automated weld seam tracking in robot welding cells is a complex task in a harsh industrial environment. The micrometer-accurate detection of the guide point with different types of joint by 2D/3D profile sensors is one of the most effective solutions for this challenge. In combination with wenglor’s uniVision software, the new weCat3D MLZL 2D/3D profile sensor from Treotham not only combines the necessary precision and profile quality, but also offers convenient installation, integration, robustness and user-friendliness.

    Exoskeleton customised with lubrication-free igus plain bearings from Treotham

    Many stroke patients worldwide suffer from hemiplegia (partial paralysis). Exoskeletons such as Harmony from Harmonic Bionics can help rebuild the nerve tracts in arms and shoulders. In order to quickly adapt the robot supported system to different body sizes in physiotherapy, the developers rely on lightweight, lubrication-free and maintenance-free plain bearing technology from igus.

    Practical upgrade for hot areas: System builders can keep a cool head

    The Wenglor INTT Inductive Sensors for Extreme Temperature ranges from Treotham detect metallic objects contactlessly at ambient temperatures of up to 250 °C. The new INTT series has two new features that make it even more flexible and robust. For dynamic applications in hot areas, system builders can now choose from flexible cables and simple push/pull connectors. The plug-in sensor heads are therefore easy to replace. The analysis module is also located directly in the M12 sensor plug. This innovative feature offers great added value for users who design or operate drying ovens for paint or surface coatings, for example.

    Low Cost Automation in XXL: large DIY igus palletiser at a small price

    Treotham is expanding its broad Low Cost Automation range with a new drylin XXL room linear robot. The linear robot has an action radius of 2,000 x 2,000 x 1,500 millimetres and is particularly suitable for palletising applications of up to 10 kilograms. The robot is includes the control system, and is easy to set up and program yourself using the do-it-yourself principle – without the help of a system integrator.

    New igus laser sintering material from Treotham makes 3D printing of chemical-resistant tribo-components possible

    igus is expanding the scope of its 3D printing service: Chemical-resistant, lubrication-free tribo-polymer components can be manufactured using selective laser sintering (SLS). This evolutionary step is made possible by a new printing material for laser sintering printers: iglidur I10 is resistant to acids, bases, alcohols as well as greases and is therefore suitable for use in electroplating and food processing plants. The 3D filaments are also available to purchase directly from Treotham if the customer wishes to print themselves.
