Worldwide News Applied research institute joins Powerlink user organization The Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) is the newest member of the Ethernet Powerlink Standardization Group (EPSG). Having success-fully implemented the real-time protocol during international research projects in the field of high-performance vision, AIT will be ramping up its involvement with Powerlink and assuming an active role in the on-going development of the technology. At the AIT’s Center for Vision, Automation & Control, around 50 experts collaborate with partners from the industrial, scientific and public sectors to research key technolo-gies such as 3D image processing and optical quality inspection.

The project focuses on status and quality monitoring, as well as wear prompts in the innovative friction stir welding technology used by Grenzebach. This is achieved thanks to the customised analysis software by Weidmüller. “Sensors fitted to the system record the forces during welding and, together with the Analytics software from Weidmüller, allow for real-time monitoring of the welding process,” explains Michael Sieren, Head of FSW Sales at Grenzebach. The use of the Analytics solution provides a whole range of additional benefits: rigorous and verifiable quality control processes, predictions regarding system failures, which helps our customers to reduce costs and save resources and to implement data-driven services. www.weidmueller.com Compact and user-friendly: easy integration into confined spaces Robust and long-life design Repeatability from 0.5µm Small light spot Analog and digital outputs Unique ease of use via web browser Presets for various surfaces Tel. +49 8542 1680 www.micro-epsilon.com/opto
