Automated laser marking helps improve speed, quality and flexibility at Jaguar Land Rover
T
he Vehicle Identification Number is a car’s unique fingerprint. Applying the VIN has always presented challenges to manufacturers, however.
In 2013, production engineers at Jaguar Land Rover were wrestling with all these problems and wondered if laser marking technology might provide a solution, they approached marking and verification specialist Pryor for support. After looking at the requirements of the task, it quickly became clear to the Pryor team that conventional laser marking technologies would not be up to the task. Pryor developed a high-powered laser system that could be adapted to
give a consistent mark of the right depth in very short cycle times. For Pryor, the work with Jaguar Land Rover is the next step in a continuous evolution of product marking technologies that stretches back to the middle of the 19th Century. The company has won industry awards for the work, including The Manufacturer’s Innovation of the Year. Find out more about the solution at

Pryor Marking Technology Industrial cameras with fast interfaces SOLANO AT Design meets Experience W T
he 16 new compact industrial cameras (BVS CA) in the Smart Vision Solutions line from Balluff give you
great flexibility in image recording and high transmission speed of image information for mastering even highly complex inspection tasks. They are available with a monochrome or colour
image sensor and for fast data transmission with optional GigE-Vision or USB3-Vision interface. Programming is according to the GEN<i>CAM-standard (Generic Interface for Cameras). These compact cameras can be efficiently used in
either of two ways. Either by access using common image editing software together with a separate industrial PC for data processing, or using the external SmartController from Balluff that runs the proven Balluff BVS-Cockpit software. With these industrial cameras the user benefits not only from perfectly resolved and tack sharp images, but also from a very high data transmission rate.
The data results are passed from the controller via a
freely definable interface to the control system through the standard interfaces TCP/IP, TCP UDP or PROFINET. A clever interface concept ensures correct addressing and distribution of the information: if needed, with just the click of a mouse the process network - the heart of any automation company - gets only the most important information, whereas data and images, e.g. for quality services, find their way over a fast Gigabit Ethernet network. The web-based product access enables remote access even from distant production facilities. Together with the Smart Controller these
industrial cameras are also the ideal solution for multi-view inspections.

elwyn Tool Group are excited to launch a new pistol grip hot air handgun from LEISTER – The SOLANO AT. This considered piece of hand-held equipment has been
developed, tested and optimised to meet the demands and requirements of even the most demanding industrial production line process heat applications. The new SOLANO AT addresses a series of significant
issues experienced when using other pistol grip type hot air tools during the production process. When selecting a hand-held hot air gun as part of a
production process, a key consideration is that of the weight of the unit. If the tool is being used in a production line for hand
finishing, shrink sleeve for wiring, or leather forming and finishing for example, continued use on some heavier hand-held tools can lead to repetitive strain related fatigue for operatives, which needs to be avoided.
