With the FLC+, we are expanding the FLC series for components that require slightly more installation space due to their geometry. Here, we place the process modules directly on the floor and simply omit the tabletop on work surfaces; everything else remains the same. The modular design of the FLC+ allows us to always implement the optimal assembly process. We are flexible in our choice of process modules and connect them as efficiently as possible using robots.

Functional safety in Industrial Ethernet is essential for the safe operation of industrial systems. The risk of accidents and failures can be minimised through the implementation of safety protocols, continuous monitoring and compliance with international standards. As a long-standing safety sensor specialist, Kübler is now expanding its safe Industrial Ethernet encoder platform with the latest SIL2 and SIL3 certified Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE) protocol. The S58x8FSX encoder transmits up to 15 bits safe or up to 24 bits non-safe, as well as fully redundant multiturn information of 12 bits safe. Thanks to the platform architecture, this is realised in exactly the same design as the S58 PROFIsafe encoder. Updates can be carried out easily via FoE (File over EtherCAT) without the need for a web server. This simplifies the maintenance process considerably and ensures that the encoder always remains state-of-the-art. The Sendix encoder offers great benefits, particularly due to its high system availability. Equipped with cyber security and protection mechanisms against hacker attacks and misuse in accordance with IEC 62443, the encoder ensures a safe and reliable connection in safety-critical applications.

Frameless motors have only two main components - stator and rotor - in common with conventional motors. This is a decisive advantage when it comes to tailor-cut design and individual integration into customer-specific systems. Due to the direct integration into machines or device assemblies and the hollow shaft concept with cable, compressed air, vacuum, fiber optic and laser feedthroughs, frameless motors require very little space. At the same time, they are highly efficient and durable and run stably and reliably in quiet operation. The KOCO MOTION motors are characterized by an immediate peak torque of up to 2400 Nm, a maximum motor speed of up to 900 rpm and a high level of user-friendliness. The frameless motors are also highly precise. They are backlash-free during high-precision and high-speed operations and have an extremely high level of positioning accuracy. KOCO MOTION supports and advises on the optimal design and integration of the modularly configurable frameless motors into customer systems. Since the compact motors are used in a wide variety of industries, such as robotics, mechanical engineering, packaging technology, semiconductor manufacturing or medical technology, it is important to precisely adapt and select all the necessary motor components. This is the only way to really get the best out of the frameless motor.

From the learnings of this collaboration, a clear perspective emerges for us: the future lies in 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 — automation that understands relationships, supports decision-making, and can grow with the complexity of modern systems. Our talk is aimed in particular at OEMs and integrators. We present selected case studies, put our insights into context, and explain what concrete first steps toward the future of automation can look like.

Industrial 3D printer for the production of robust components with continuous fiber reinforcement The FX10 is Markforged's latest industrial 3D printer – designed for the serial production of strong, precise components directly in-house. With its robust construction, a closed print chamber, automated calibration, and two interchangeable print heads, the FX10 delivers the highest process reliability – day after day, shift after shift. Thanks to Markforged's proprietary continuous fiber technology, components can be reinforced with carbon, Kevlar, or glass fibers, achieving strength comparable to aluminum while being lighter. Ideal for equipment, grippers, fixtures, and spare parts that must withstand harsh industrial environments. The system processes Onyx (a nylon-based material with microcarbon fiber) as well as other high-performance materials such as Onyx FR or Smooth TPU 95A. The modular design also allows for quick switching between composite and metal 3D printing, as the FX10 is also compatible with the metal print head. This makes it particularly flexible – without the need for a second machine. The FX10 is controlled by the intuitive Eiger software, which can be operated cloud-based or locally. The integrated sensors and automatic laser measurement ensure consistent quality and reduce manual intervention to a minimum. Key Features: Build volume: 375 x 300 x 300 mm Print materials: Onyx, Onyx FR, Onyx ESD, TPU, continuous fiber Two interchangeable print heads (composite and optionally metal) Automatic calibration & laser measurement Integration into existing manufacturing processes possible The FX10 is designed for companies that not only want to test additive manufacturing, but also want to use it productively and cost-effectively – today and in the future.
