At this year's SPS IPC Drives everything at Pilz revolved around products and solution for safe sensor technology. The focus of this year's exhibition presence is on the Pilz Smart Factory that brings to life safe sensor technology.

Pilz displayed its intelligent sensor solutons:

  • The dynamic pressure-sensitive mate PSENmat, the safety laser scanner PSENscan and the modular safety gate system for the protection of man and machine.
  • Interact with the new service robotics modules to assemble your individual application in an industrial or non-industrial environment.
  • Experience how automation solutions can be solved in a modular production plant efficiently and user-friendly.

From area and space monitoring through to quality control and the safeguarding of safety gates and human-robot applications, sensors are ideal. See for yourself the various modules in Nuremberg how Pilz puts into practice these applications!

With the new modular safety gates you create individual solutions for safety gate guarding which enable fast diagnostics also in failure cases. The dynamic pressure-sensitive safety mat offers monitoring and control function through virtual pushbuttons in just one device. Pilz showcases the new safety laser scanner PSENscan for productive area monitoring.

Complete solutions for safe robotics

Service robotics modules

 Pilz helps users to achieve a safe and standard-compliant robot application! At the SPS IPC Drives we present the new service robotics modules. Experience the modules in action and interact with the robot systems!

In Nuremberg, we will show you how a dual-arm robot packages a workpiece that is taken by an automated guided vehicles to a manual work station and handed over safely to the operator. Workpieces are handed over using the operating concept of the dynamic pressure sensitive mat PSENmat. Further exhibition topics are the comprehensive Pilz service portfolio in the robotics range. Our experts will be delighted to inform you about our offer of safe sensor technology for robot cells and for human-robot collaboration (HRC).

Maximum flexibility with our smart factory

Experience Industrie 4.0 in the Smart Factory

Intelligent networking and flexible production open up huge opportunities for industry. Flexible production, will make your machine work at optimum capacity. Innovative automation solutions for the smart factory of the future is also the key focus at Pilz’s exhibition stand.

In Nuremberg we present a production line which shows the practical application of Industrie 4.0 in its modularity, and which can react quickly to changing market situations and have flexible production. See our Smart Factory for yourself and have your individual exhibition present manufactured here. All of the products used in the smart factory are from Pilz - from sensor and drive through to the controller and robotics.

DCS Festo Didactic at the Forefront of Developing Canadas Future Workforce 1 400x275

With Canadian manufacturing suffering from a growing labour shortage, the participation of industry in skills development is emerging as a vital component in hiring and retention.

The needs are stark: The Canadian Exporters and Manufacturers Association says almost 40% of its members have jobs they can’t fill. Five years from now, 60% expect to be short-staffed, especially when it comes to skilled trades. Statistics Canada forecasts the country’s labour force growth rate will remain below 0.2% for the rest of the decade, below replacement levels.

This growing shortage is affecting companies of all sizes. Already, some manufacturers acknowledge losing out on contracts because they can’t find the manpower to fulfill them.

In reality, the challenge is two-fold: to replenish and expand the workforce to help close the gap between the number of job seekers and vacancies through 2030 when the last baby boomers reach age 65, and ensure workers get opportunities throughout their careers to upgrade or add to their skillset as current technologies evolve and new ones emerge. Festo, through Festo Didactic, one of the world leading provider of equipment and solutions for technical education, intends to help Canada meet this challenge on both fronts. In essence, the approach Festo has always taken is that the learning never stops.

DCS New Emerson Valves Deliver Proportional Flow Control Performance 1 400x275

Emerson recently introduced the ASCO™ Series 209 proportional flow control valves, which offer the highest standards of precision, pressure ratings, flow characteristics and energy efficiency available in a purpose-built, compact architecture. With this combination of size and performance, Series 209 valves allow users to precisely regulate the flow of fluid in a wide range of devices that require exacting performance, like those found in the medical equipment, food and beverage, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) industries. 

Accuracy, response time and repeatability are critical in high-precision flow control applications, such as controlling tool speed in dental chairs, the flow of steam in coffee makers, water flow in cooling systems and hydrogen flow in fuel cells. Series 209 valves have low hysteresis (less than or equal to 5%), excellent repeatability (less than or equal to 1%) and high sensitivity (less than or equal to 0.2%) that contribute to their precision.
