flexAssistant is the digital worker guidance system from SOMA and maps manual work steps completely digitally: from production to packaging to documentation. In the process, flexAssistant coordinates complex processes and all production sequences in the factory, helps train employees and guides your staff in assembly and production. Our flexible and modular worker assistance systems enable the retrieval of relevant process parameters, component queries, provide digital work instructions as well as insight into planned routes of an AGV – flexAssistant worker assistance helps you to plan and execute your processes flexibly and reliably. For this purpose, the SOMA worker assistance system provides everything necessary for production, testing, packaging and documentation within the company.

The Flexi Compact safety controller is based on a future-proof technology platform and can be programmed via software. Thanks to its modularity, it can be optimally configured for a wide range of application requirements and its compact construction means it can be installed in tight spaces. Flexi Compact is characterized by its high usability: planning and commissioning is fast and easy using the intuitive Safety Designer configuration software and a user-friendly housing. Diagnostics data is available for common fieldbus systems. Faster production startup, increased machine availability, and extended functions such as safe series connection with Flexi Loop increase productivity and efficiency throughout the machine life cycle. Benefits -Usability optimized: time-saving planning of the safety application and easy commissioning -Efficiency increased: higher productivity thanks to fast production startup, short response times, and comprehensive diagnostic options for efficient machine and system operation -Guaranteed future-proof: flexible solutions with modular hardware, forward-looking technologies, and end-to-end data availability

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.
