Digitisation and ideas for the future
New projects have to satisfy two requirements: the concept of effectiveness dictates that the right things are done and correct emphases are placed so as to come as close as possible to the market. The second requirement of efficiency demands that things are done correctly that maximum productivity is assured in the product development process from the initial idea to the rollout. Greater priority is given to customer benefits through coordination between the Design Engineering, Production and Sales departments. More... |

Unique lay-flat packing technology
Proco’s new Lay Flat Tooling innovation helps blow molders and brand owners maximize product capacity for a given container. The company developed two sets of tooling for two different applications - one for straight neck-to-neck packaging in the box and another for offset neck orientation from row to row. This allows a blow molder of bottles to pack 270 bottles in a box instead of 250, resulting in maximized capacity and tremendous savings. More...

Major gains in productivity with Active Speed Control
A major milestone on the road toward autonomous machines is presented by TRUMPF in the recent Euroblech. The company is well ahead of the curve when it comes to investing in digitally connected, autonomous factories. This new feature, Active Speed Control, looks straight through the nozzle right at the cutting zone, monitoring it in real-time and autonomously controlling the feed rate of solid-state laser machines. This new function ensures a more reliable process for both flame and fusion cutting, reducing scrap and saving on rework.

The smart future of metalworking
Digitalisation and networking are rapidly gaining ground in metalworking – and the same trend is also taking place in storage & sawing technologies. Manual and mutually-isolated processes are increasingly giving way to a continuously-controlled, intelligent material flow, in which all the components involved communicate autonomously with each other. In modern metalworking, machines, plants, goods and load carriers are connected via Internet of Things. More...
