Simplimatic Teams with API for Hi-Mix Material Handling Solution
Forest, VA — Simplimatic Automa - tion, a material handling and auto - mation company, has teamed up with Advantage Pick Technologies (APT) to create a highly-flexible material handling solution. The com- panies’ first installation was for a high-mix factory environment in Cincinnati, OH. The system is designed to dramatically increase manufacturing throughput by using a Simpli-Flex® conveyor, a powered lift gate, custom controls, and 10,305
custom-molded pucks (huggers/carri- ers) provided by APT. The customer created a produc-
tion line designed to fill and cap 23 different personal care items. To accommodate this highly-flexible request, APT designed 23 custom- molded carriers to standardize the filling and capping height of the dif- ferent products. Personal care companies that
fill multiple products on a single line often use pucks to reduce guide rail,
filler and capping changes. Standard ization allows compa-
nies to save time and money by virtu- ally eliminating costly changeovers. Production lines that do not use pucks often require several line changeovers per day, which collec- tively decrease output, and increase labor and other costs. Simplimatic is able to multiply
a customer’s revenue using a stan- dard line to service many types of products. The company supplies
packaging customers with material handling systems, custom automa- tion equipment, robots, and pucks, which are built to serve as one reli-
able, functioning line. Contact: Simplimatic

Carl Zeiss Increases Speed of Scanning Electron Microscope
Thornwood, NY — Zeiss has released a variant of its fast-scanning electron microscope, the MultiSEM 506. The microscope contains 96 beams that work in parallel to increase through- put over the MultiSEM 505 by a fac- tor of three.
July, 2016
Zeiss MultiSEM 506 scanning electron microscope.
Its net acquisition speed of over
2 TP/h (terapixels per hour) enables large-scale experiments, such as the imaging of cubic millimeters of brain tissue at nanometer resolution for the analysis of neural circuits. The new product shows that the compa- ny’s multi-beam technology is scala- ble and will satisfy future through- put needs of other fields, such as the semiconductor industry. The micro- scopes are designed for continual operation and are loaded with Zeiss ZEN software, which contains such features as the automated section
detection of serial tissue sections. Contact: Carl Zeiss Microscopy,
