Endurance tests are crucial for quality assurance because they simulate real-world operating conditions over extended periods, allowing for the early detection of potential problems. They serve as quality tests for suppliers and manufacturers and enable the validation of development results. However, since each test specimen requires its own test bench, this results in significant space, personnel, and cost expenditures – making endurance tests, despite their importance, a considerable economic and organizational challenge.

The Delfa AxIIIs is an ultra-compact 3-axis force/torque sensor for integration into small and medium-sized robot systems. The sensor element is based on a novel dielectric elastomer and enables precise force measurements in the z-direction as well as the detection of torques around the x- and y-axes. This allows for high-resolution detection of forces and tilts directly at the end effector. With dimensions of only 49 × 20 mm, the sensor is ideal for space-constrained integrations. I²C and UART interfaces are available immediately, with an RS485 interface to follow. The sensor offers a cost-effective entry into tactile robotics sensing and is designed for both research and development as well as industrial automation applications.

This type of robot is based on the principle of parallel kinematics. All drives are mounted in a fixed position on the robot head. Motor cables are not moved. The robot has three (3) translational and one (1) rotational degree(s) of freedom. This robot mechanic is suitable for applications that require maximum repeatability, absolute accuracy and path accuracy in the 1/1000 mm range thanks to its high-end direct drives and high-precision joints.

If you have chosen a feeder system from RNA, we offer you the unique added value of mapping your plant completely digitally – not statically, but dynamically! With our multiphysics simulation software Digital Feeder, we simulate the function of your plant in order to avoid cost- and time-intensive commissioning loops, which are common in feeding technology. Before the start of production, the sorting solutions we design can be tested by simulation, the optimum geometry of each individual sorting (tooling) can be determined, checked and approved. This makes RNA's feeding systems 100% digital and reproducible. The feeding system is equipped with material-specific toolings, which can be milled or printed. These toolings can thus be produced within a few days after simulation of the bulk material behaviour and changed within a few minutes - the digital twin of your feeding system!

Our digital gearboxes combine high-precision, backlash-free strain wave gear technology with smart sensor technology and artificial intelligence - without any change in size. The strain wave gears meet all the requirements for integration into intelligently networked and digital production processes and make a decisive contribution to increasing efficiency, optimizing performance, conserving resources and improving cost-effectiveness. All in all, this results in potential savings in the double-digit percentage range.

Der digitale Zwilling ist mehr als eine bildliche Kopie – denn er kommuniziert mit dem realen Produkt. Er passt sich der Realität genau an. Der virtuelle Zwilling legt noch einen drauf. Er integriert 3D Modelle, Prozesse und Systeme. Was bringt uns das in der Realität? Fehler frühzeitig erkennen, Nachbilden von kritischen Simulationsszenarien zu gefahrlosen Testen, Prozesse optimieren, Stillstände vermeiden – von der Planung bis zum Retrofit. Die VIBN bringt Nutzen über den gesamten Lebenszyklus einer Maschine oder Anlage. Die VIBN ist eine Simulationsmethode, bei der das Steuerungssystem mit einem Simulationsmodell einer Komponente, Maschine oder Anlage gekoppelt wird, um frühzeitige, entwicklungsbegleitende Tests des Produktionssystems zu ermöglichen. Der Einsatz von Simulationsmodellen in der VIBN macht es möglich, sowohl spezifische Aspekte einzelner Ingenieursdisziplinen als auch ihr Zusammenspiel im mechatronischen Kontext anschaulich darzustellen Interaktive Trainingsumgebung zur Bedienung, Wartung und Störungsbehebung – realistisch, sicher und ortsunabhängig bringt der digitale Zwilling auf den Punkt -klar, praxisnah und professionell. Zusammen ermöglichen der digitale Zwilling und die virtuelle Inbetriebnahme eine effizientere, kostengünstigere und sicherere Produktentwicklung sowie eine optimierte Produktion.

The USB-AC-PD is 230Vac power supply for DIN RAIL control cabinets. It delivers 5V/3A, 9V/2.22A and 12V/1.67A.
