Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Manual screwdriver has automatic feeding from
Weber Automatic Assembly Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "A new low cost manual hand screwdriver with automatic feeding offers an accessible method of achieving increased production levels in a wide range of industrial
applications".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Greaser for linear guides and bearings is compact from
SKF UK: "Compact greasing unit for repacking linear guides and rolling bearings in machines and systems automatically supplies as many as five lubrication points with lubricant".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Cognex UK
concerning its Vision systems and ThyssenKrupp Krause
- take a look at Assembly systems provider makes vision choice
which says: "More demand from users for machine vision systems on assembly lines to support quality assurance led a German supplier to choose a provider offering user-friendly, reliable systems with support".
Take a look also at the news release from Modular Automation International, Automation seekers specify quality, then speed,
as well as Recognising objects independently of orientation from IFM Electronic,
and CNC machine drills, fettles wing assemblies from AMTRI.
