How One German Company is Building the Future of Automated Manufacturing – One Modular Line at a Time

Automation, Industry 4.0 and Big Data are the significant technology trends in the industrial sector. German company Braun Sondermaschinen recognised these trends early. It used them to develop fully automated production lines – especially in the automotive and electric mobility sectors – to increase productivity and realise potential savings for its customers.

World-first sensor platform for mobile machines

Heat, cold, shock, vibration, water, mud or dust – however dire or adverse the conditions are, mobile machines must work reliably under the harshest of conditions.

Smarter Format Change – Power Pack in the Industrial Ethernet

The motorized size changeover of machine spindles or machine axes is now being implemented in various ways. The solutions to this are often relatively rudimentary and result in the fact that no handwheel or crank is rotated, with one or more buttons being pressed instead. Whether this meets the requirements of a smart process chain or Industry 4.0 is questionable. Intelligent positioning drives can be an efficient solution in such a case.
