FEATURE EXHIBITION PREVIEW WHO, WHAT, WHERE?
Automation magazine takes a closer look at who’s exhibiting what at the PPMA Show 2014 That process ensures high homogeneity and reproducibility of
Stand K62: Alrad will be exhibiting its standard cameras which are available with 256, 1,024 or 4,096 pixels. The imaging sensors for the cameras are manufactured on a single wafer and constructed using detectors which are fabricated from GaAs high- mobility heterostructure in the standard semiconductor cycle using conventional optical lithography.
Stand A108: Aiming to make SME manufacturing more productive, the PPMA Show will see Universal Robots present its third generation of the lightweight robots - UR5 and UR10. Special features are the true absolute encoders, the eight new adjustable safety rated functions, twice the number of built- in I/Os and the improved possibilities for connecting
the plasmonic detector parameters. Each unit detector proved to have room temperature responsivity up to 50kV/W with read-out circuitry and noise equivalent power 1nW/Hz^0.5 in the frequency range 10 GHz-1THz.

Stand C31: In addition to showing its full range of automation solutions, Omron will debut its FH high speed compact vision system at the PPMA Show. Experts will also be on hand to demonstrate how the open Sysmac automation platform can cut lead times for machine builders. The FH vision system provides seamless integration with PLCs,
Stand D81: TM Robotics (Europe) will display a new robot in a practical packaging application in Hall 5. The Toshiba Machine TH450A slots neatly into the range of Toshiba Machine robots supported by TM Robotics (Europe). The Scara ranges include lightweight, energy saving machines, Scara robots with oversized servo motors for high speed
motion controllers and robotic control systems. A Delta robot will also illustrate how complementary technologies can be controlled through Sysmac. Visitors will be able to see how these integrated, open controls can be used to calculate vitally important metrics via Omron’s Sysmac ‘wall’ demonstration.

Stand A20: STEMMER IMAGING will be highlighting its vision solutions at the PPMA Show. There will be demonstrations of portion control, high speed label inspection and the inspection of fill levels in opaque bottles. On show will be the LMI Gocator 3D smart camera carrying out 3D profiling on blocks of cheese with the resulting volumetric
Stand D3: Multipix Imaging will be demonstrating a range of vision products designed to create solutions for the food and beverage industry. Launching the Ensenso N20 3D Stereo, equipped with two high resolution 1.3 megapixel CMOS sensors, this 3D camera provides a wide field of vision for capturing greater volumes and working distances of up to three metres.

Stand G62: R. A. Rodriguez is exhibiting on its largest ever stand at the PPMA 2014 to show the full extent of its products for the processing and packaging sectors. These range from automated programmable linear systems and flexible 6-axis robots to precision bearings, gears, drives and conveyor products. The long association with the linear motion and automation
Stand A18: A number of sensing technologies from SICK will be launched at the PPMA Show and its packaging and processing product specialists will also be on hand to discuss with visitors how a range of product innovations are designed to increase throughput, save production costs, reduce down-time and support quality validation and traceability.
