The igus Gantry robots, also known as
cartesian or linear robots, feature two base X-axes, a Y-axis, and an optional Z-axis. These are suitable for applications where high precision is needed and where a task requires a repetitive motion, such as pick and place, sorting, labelling, and measurement. These Gantry robots feature self-lubricating plastic liners that slide instead of
Based in Manchester, Ai Automation
provides bespoke solutions that integrate vision systems with cobots, industrial robots and delta robot systems. The firm also uses Schneider Electric programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Its systems boost efficiency and safety in a wide range of applications, including end of line packaging in the pharmaceutical and food & beverage sectors. It also provides strategic advice on the selection and upgrade of automated systems. Grant Mullen, managing director at Ai
Automation, commented: “Holding Alliance SI Partner status with Schneider Electric will help us reach new customers. Furthermore, by working through the certification process, we’ve gained insight to train our workforce, grow the business and help customers meet their goals for Industry 4.0 and beyond.” Samira El Kassimi, robotic & automation
business development manager at Schneider Electric, said: “Certifying an SME as our first Robotics Partner in the UK and Ireland is an important milestone and shows that we’re dedicated to supporting young, innovative companies, that are developing solutions to future proof industry.”
rolling, making them much more efficient than similar devices that use recirculating ball bearings. These robots are lightweight, clean, quiet, corrosion-resistant, and maintenance-free. Another product is the drylin Delta robot, which is designed with linear actuators, featuring highly engineered, self-lubricating sliding plastic liners. These are suitable for low-cost automation applications such as belt transfer stations, sorting systems, small parts handling, and fast positioning machines. Also available will be the igus e-chain cable
carriers which guide and protect energy, data and signal cables in challenging environments. Mouser will also be offering igus’ chainflex cables, which are designed to deliver reliability, durability and performance in industrial
motion applications. With over 1,300 cable types available to order, chainflex offers a comprehensive range for data, bus, hybrid, control, motor, servo, feedback, coaxial, fibre optic (FOC), robotics, and special applications.
The company is also introducing early
versions of two new web-based tools with a modernised user experience under the Power Studio umbrella: ADI Power Studio Planner and ADI Power Studio Designer. These new tools, together with the full ADI Power Studio
portfolio, including LTspice, SIMPLIS, LTpowerCAD, LTpowerPlanner, EE-Sim, LTpowerPlay and LTpowerAnalyzer, streamline the entire power system design process. The Power Studio tools support engineers from initial concept through measurement and evaluation,
empowering engineers to design with confidence and efficiency. Power Studio provides a unified, intuitive workflow that helps engineering teams make better decisions earlier by simulating real-world performance with accurate models and automating key outputs, such as bill of materials and report generation. Together, the family of tools can facilitate shorter development cycles, reduce rework and increase speed at which engineers bring power-dense systems to market. “ADI Power Studio is more than a set of tools – it’s a design ecosystem,” said Robert Reay, vice
president and fellow, Power Products, ADI. “By integrating new system-level and IC-level design capabilities into a single product family, we’re enabling engineers to streamline power management design and optimisation so they have the potential to get solutions to their customers faster.”
Leveraging real-time data from the car’s advanced interior and
exterior sensors, the system can customise protection by adjusting to the current situation and the unique personal profile of drivers and passengers, such as their height, weight, body shape and seating position. The capabilities of the new multi-adaptive safety belt are designed to continuously improve
via over-the-air software updates. As Volvo Cars gathers more insights, the car can improve its understanding of the occupants, new scenarios and response strategies.
