Rohde & Schwarz has developed the leading-edge R&S ATS1500C antenna test system, a test chamber for high performance radar testing, offering an outstanding indirect far-field testing performance. This innovation allowed Uhnder to mature the technology behind the first 4D digital automotive radar-on-chip with 192 virtual channels.
Global engineering company, Renishaw, is collaborating with Sandvik Additive Manufacturing to qualify new additive manufacturing (AM) materials for production applications. This encompasses a broad range of metal powders, including new alloy compositions that are optimised for the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process and which provide superior material properties.
One special feature of the new sensors is the 360° switching status display, which can be customised from 256 different colours and quickly recognized from any direction.
Industrial gripping is about to undergo a fundamental upheaval. Whereas until now the pickup and depositing positions of workpieces, their geometry and the relevant gripping parameters always needed to be defined manually, in future gripping systems will handle the widest variety of gripping tasks of their own accord.
