Webinar: Customized Automation in Laser Marking
The automation of part handling or mark alignment in a laser marking process can help improve marking requirements and save production cost. In the context of demanding traceability marking requirements like the UDI (Unique Device Identification) of medical devices, direct part marking is on the rise. Therefore, laser marking system provider FOBA offer technical solutions, some in cooperation with automation experts, that make laser marking even more efficient.
Felsomat Technology Days
Felsomat's Konigsbach-Stein, Germany based headquarters is hosting Technology Days between October 12 – 14, 2021.
Throughout this open house, the automation firm will showcase their e-motor traction motor stator and rotor assembly systems. This includes a fully functioning stator line that will be running real parts for an Italian customer that produces German sports cars, as well as e-motor trickling station demonstrations, 2D and 3D hairpin stator bending demonstration, and Felsomat FHC hobbing and machine demonstrations.
Guests get a good look at the Felsomat laser welder, looking over the twin entry/exit conveyors for RDU and PTU parts. The Fanuc robot loads the laser cleaned and pressed part into the Felsomat laser welder with Trumpf 6kW laser.
