BMW engineers recently conducted a test with humanoid robots at its assembly plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

Balluff is excited to return to Pack Expo International in 2024.

To teach robots how to move objects into an organized arrangement, engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a system called SimPLE (Simulation to Pick, Localize, and placE).

Balluff’s new VisionSensor, featuring integrated lighting and autofocus optics, delivers optical quality control in automated production along with condition monitoring capabilities.

Balluff’s new multi-protocol IO-Link masters support most established industrial Ethernet protocols, including Profinet, Ethernet IP, and Modbus TCP, all in one device.

IO-Link Wireless delivers the many benefits of IO-Link to applications where cables were previously not available.

New technology shows promise for joining dissimilar materials without fasteners or adhesive and without damaging either part.

Volvo Cars has been producing gas-powered vehicles in Ridgeville, SC, since 2018. Now, the factory is assembling two new electric SUVs: the Volvo EX90 and the Polestar 3.

The Elecylinder allows acceleration, velocity and deceleration to be set using numeric values, enabling engineers to adjust the motion of the actuator for smooth stopping without impact.

PFMEA ensures that the prototype parts from the assembly line meet quality expectations, thereby maturing the manufacturing processes.
