At Alexandra Palace this year, the ABTT show must go on for igus who will be on stand B30 to help make sure it does. Specialised igus product managers will be demonstrating technology innovations made with the modern theatre in mind. The exhibition, which runs from 6th – 7th June, is a significant date in the calendar for professionals working with pro audio, lighting, broadcast, AV, rigging and stage technologies.

A wide range of industrial vision technologies will be on show from STEMMER IMAGING at MACH 2018. These will cover part and assembly verification, new 3D measurement capabilities, versatile general inspection and measurement systems and the latest machine learning approach to pattern recognition. 

At this year’s FoodEx Heason Technology has announced it will be demonstrating and highlighting its latest decentralised motion technologies and washdown capable servo motor technology. Application engineers will be on hand to discuss individual requirements and visitors to Stand AA260 can view a range of high-precision mechatronic components and control examples on display from many of Heason´s supply partners.

  Featuring an engineering cornucopia of new and enhanced products specifically developed and selected to improve the efficiency, productivity and accuracy of just about any machine shop, Leader Chuck Internationals will be at MACH on stand H18-02.

A technical seminar covering ‘machine learning’ at the UKIVA Machine Vision Conference and Exhibition will be presented by STEMMER IMAGING. Equipment on show at the exhibition highlights 3D imaging capabilities. New 3D tools within Common Vision Blox and two LMI Gocator 2340 all-in-one 3D smart sensors operating in dual sensor mode will be demonstrated.

Showcasing its engineering-grade additive manufacturing solutions for all budgets and production requirements at MACH 2018, 3D Systems will be at stand H7-345, from 9th to 13th at the NEC, Birmingham. Covering a full range of prototyping and manufacturing applications, the 3D Systems stand will feature end-to-end solutions for plastics and metal fabrication.

Now there is just three weeks to go until MACH will get going and the manufacturing technologies showcasing will begin, and the MACH 2018 team have announced their full plans for Education and Development Zone. The Education and Development Zone will serve as a base for student visitors, as well as housing some exciting cutting edge educational projects. Over 3500 students attended MACH 2016 and the organisers are hoping for an equally as successful show this year.

New forms of work and collaboration come from digitalisation, while at the same time it confronts the industry with a new set of challenges. As the need for a technically qualified workforce goes up, the number of qualified workers continues to go down. The HANNOVER MESSE supporting program titled ‘Career 4.0’ explores the different requirements and opportunities in this sphere.

AMADA MIYACHI EUROPE has announced that it will be exhibiting a range of equipment ideal for meeting Industry 4.0 manufacturing automation technology needs at MECSPE 2018, which takes place 22nd to 24th March 2018 at the Parma Exhibition Centre, in Parma, Italy. AMADA MIYACHI EUROPE’s equipment will be on display at sales representative Metasald S.R.L’s Booth A24 in Hall 8.

A presentation which covers practical examples, which illustrate the cause of poor results in machine vision due to variations in LED output intensity, will be given by Jools Hudson at the UKIVA Machine Vision Conference and Exhibition, who will also highlight the benefits of precision lighting control. The talk will also cover the ability of dedicated lighting controllers to reduce hardware costs and enable new application opportunities in both area scan and line scan imaging by creating multiple lighting schemes.
