EXHIBITION SHOW ISSUE EMO 2019 HANOVER, 16-21 SEPTEMBER – WWW.EMO-HANNOVER.DE
#marking Pryor Marking Technology
(https://is.gd/tetoxa) Hall 11 Stand B03
● A version of the company’s Aerospace
Rotative Marking Cell will be shown. It is for
the rapid and precise marking of large
cylindrical aerospace components. Such
parts may require 15 or more marks to be
made at various points to positional
tolerances of 0.1 mm, which is impossible
to do by hand ● Portable Laser Marker can
be used to carry out high speed, permanent
laser engraving on large, immobile metal
objects. In a recent project, the hand-held
device was shown to be able to clearly and
precisely engrave 90 names every 50
seconds, with each letter measuring just
0.8 mm in height.

● A pair of 642 mm diameter stainless
steel rotors (above) that have been
precision-milled on a PTG Holroyd 8EX rotor
milling machine will be on display ● PTG
Powerstir FSW machines for friction stir
welding will also be present.

Renishaw (https://is.gd/erojup) Hall 6,
Stand D48 ● REVO 5-axis measurement
system supports multi-dimensional
inspection, including surface finish
analysis, on CMMs. Demonstrating latest
blade measurement capabilities, an
aerospace component will be inspected.
The REVO 5-axis measurement system is
the only scanning system for CMMs that
simultaneously controls the motion of three
machine and two head axes as it collects
workpiece data ● Modular and custom
metrology fixturing ● Renishaw’s first
automated direct loader transfer system for
use with CMMs, which complements the
benefits of automation and rapid throughput
that the REVO system brings ● New
OPTiMUM diamond styli range, developed
for use within metrology applications that
require a hard-wearing stylus. Diamondcoated
spheres maintain their roundness
and do not suffer material ‘pick up’ or
premature wear when scanning abrasive
materials or soft alloys ● Latest SPRINT
technology for rapid part set-up and
machining process control. With the unique
3D sensor technology within Renishaw’s
OSP60 probe, probing systems with SPRINT
technology provide high speed, high
accuracy scanning for CNC machine tools.
It can be used with Renishaw’s SupaScan
solution or Productivity+ Scanning Suite.
SupaScan is ideal for setting simple parts
quickly and easily, and it uses macro code
to program cycles. Workpiece surface
condition and basic form measurements
can be captured. Productivity+ Scanning
Suite is for advanced measurement of freeform
surfaces. It comprises a variety of
application-specific toolkits that can be
programmed using Productivity+ Active
Editor Pro software ● High accuracy
machine tool probes working with RENGAGE
technology for workpiece set-up, in-process
control and post-process inspection.
RMP400 – a new, ultra-compact and highly
repeatable probe that uses radio
transmission technology – is the latest
machine tool probes to boast RENGAGE
technology. Probes with RENGAGE
technology are ideally suited to mould and
die and aerospace applications, where the
use of 5-axis machines is common. All
RENGAGE-capable probes benefit from
SupaTouch technology – embedded within
the latest versions of Renishaw’s
Inspection Plus macro software – which
intelligently optimises on-machine probing
cycles, leading to a cycle time reduction of
up to 60% on CNC machine tools ● The
NC4+ Blue non-contact tool setter will be
launched. Compared to red laser sources,
blue laser technology has improved
diffraction effects and optimised laser
beam geometry. This enables measurement
of very small tools, while minimising tool-totool
measurement errors ● Equator
shopfloor gauging systems will tackle a
Man and machine working together,
safely, through cobots – Cobots
(collaborative industrial robots) work
together with people without need for
special protective measures such as
fences or demarcated areas, making
working life easier and more ergonomic.
Says Jochen Vetter, manager of Robot
Safety at Pilz GmbH & Co. KG in
Ostfildern: “Humans are indispensable
for intelligent production. Robots can
perform physically demanding or
repetitive activities, leaving the humans
to take care of more sophisticated tasks.
Automation can thus also provide a
response to the demographic shift.”
On safety, he says different validation
methods have to be applied to humanrobot
collaboration (HRC). For example,
it is imperative that measurements are
taken to determine the safety risks
involved in any possible collisions. Pilz
has developed its own method for this in
which a system measures the forces
acting on the human body and compares
them with the ISO/TS 15066 limit values
for collaborative robots.
Continues Vetter: “The challenge is to
eliminate any boundaries between the
working areas of humans and machines.
In addition to the dangers posed by the
robot, human movements must also be
taken into account,” says the robotics
safety expert. “The speed of these is not
always predictable, nor are human
reflexes or the sudden arrival of other
people. Collisions, however, should never
result in injury.” These must be prevented
by the use of more reliable control
systems and intelligent, dynamic sensors
built into the robot. In addition, it is
important to set reliable safety standards
based on normative principles, Pilz
believes.
“The interaction will develop
‘organically’, for example in terms of
language and gestures,” Vetter is
convinced. “This will take HRC to a new
quality level for a different category of
actions. In addition, HRC solutions will in
future be linked to the factory control
system via OPC UA or Industry 4.0 RAMI
standards.
