B&R Automation: Soft-Start for Injection Molders and Extruders
B&R’s mapp Temperature software package provides a new pre-programmed way to get manufacturing systems up to temperature. At the push of a button, the Soft-Start function heats up machine components gently to minimize heating element fatigue – without any of the tedious programming that used to be involved. Homogeneous heating reduces mechanical stresses and allows for controlled evaporation of liquid residues in the machine.
Safety Laser Scanner PSENscan: Versatile Thanks to the New C++ Library
The safety laser scanner PSENscan offers productive area monitoring and dynamic navigation of automated guided vehicles (AGV). Applications with PSENscan can be adapted flexibly to customised tasks. Previously, ready-made ROS modules (Robot Operation System) have been available for navigation. Now we have the PSENscan Standalone C++ Library, which makes it easy to use the laser scanner also in Windows or Linux production environments.

Medical HMIs: How Joysticks & Switches Advance Surgical Applications
Robotic-assisted surgeries offer more precise motion control compared to the capabilities of the human hand, enabling less intrusive methods to reduce patient pain, scarring and recovery time. In surgical robotic applications, joysticks with integrated switches often serve as the primary operator interface. Selecting the right joystick and electromechanical switches plays a large role in the performance and functionality of any medical device, but particularly a surgical robotic station.
EAO: New Series 84 IO-Link Touch
The freely configurable, bright and capacitive IO-Link Touch opens up numerous new HMI application possibilities for a wide range of raw industrial applications. With the advent of digitisation in the industrial sector, machine manufacturers can develop completely new machines and equipment. At the same time, this creates an even more intensive operating experience for the end user.
