𝗜𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗠𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 fruitcore robotics pursues a clear vision: making industrial automation accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises. This takes more than robots alone—it requires integrated system solutions that fit seamlessly into existing processes. With horstOS, an AI-powered operating system for configuring and operating industrial robots, we jointly reached a milestone on this mission and paved the way for fruitcore’s transition from a traditional robotics manufacturer to a software-driven solution provider. 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗿 Small and medium-sized enterprises face multiple market challenges: development cycles must become shorter, flexibility must increase, and at the same time there is a shortage of skilled labor. Industrial robots can help—but they are often complex to implement and economically demanding. This is the space in which fruitcore robotics operates. Their central question: How can robots become smarter, more modular, and more intuitive—without compromising industrial performance? Our shared answer: a strategic realignment with a strong focus on software, AI, and user-centric design.

Hose packs suitable for all robot brands

Our hot melt overmolding process is an efficient and particularly gentle method for the functional protection of cables and connectors. It offers reliable strain relief, protects transition points, and significantly increases the mechanical strength and service life of the connection. Compared to conventional high-pressure overmolding, hot melt overmolding operates at significantly lower pressure and processing temperatures. This protects sensitive wires, conductors, and connectors, minimizing the risk of damage or deformation. This makes the process particularly suitable for cable manufacturing, even for delicate or complex assemblies. Further advantages include low tooling costs and high flexibility. Changes to geometries or adaptations to customer-specific requirements can be implemented quickly and economically without costly tooling investments. The process also enables short cycle times and is suitable for prototypes as well as small-batch and series production. Hot melt overmolding thus combines process reliability, cost-effectiveness, and high functionality – an ideal solution for modern, flexible, and reliable cable manufacturing. (Image generated by AI)

Large 3D-printed equipment – a game changer in the automotive industry? Until now, equipment was mostly made of steel or aluminum – expensive, heavy, and often assembled from multiple parts. 3D printers were usually too small. But it doesn't have to be this way. Walter Automobiltechnik GmbH saves considerable costs by printing assembly fixtures and quality assurance tools up to one cubic meter in size. The result? Individual testing and assembly aids are now an integral part of quality assurance. Customized fixtures ensure greater efficiency and automated checks. But that's just the beginning! 3D printing opens up completely new possibilities. Whether tool holders, grippers, or practical workplace aids – engineer André Lenz uses the printer for clever solutions throughout the entire company. André Lenz explains: Our BigRep – Large-Format 3D Printers ONE enables us to produce large components – without great expense. A real game changer! For WAT, 3D printing is not a trend – but a lived reality and the future.

For high-speed installation, the HP 70 Pick & Place Module from WEISS demonstrates its strengths with a maximum speed of 4 m/s. The working space is relatively large thanks to the horizontal stroke of up to 325 mm. In combination with an acceleration of 40 m/s2 and short cycle times, the high-speed motions exert high loads on the cable connections and the cable conduit. This is why WEISS has optimized this module. From now on, a flat ribbon cable will protect the media hoses. This cable combines four pneumatic lines and four signal lines. It is considerably more stable under motion, quieter, and less susceptible to wear. The automation specialist tested the new assembly in endurance tests over a period of several months. The module consisting of flat ribbon cable including the eight media lines is available as an option or spare part. Any HPs already in use can be retrofitted by WEISS Service. The compact module is a mere 60 mm wide and weighs only 9 kg. The 70-mm vertical stroke never extends beyond the body of the component. It is produced using kinematics. This eliminates vertical linear motor movement – a major benefit in the cramped conditions of assembly lines. The Pick & Place Module is designed to save space and is able to map different process stations in a very confined area. This creates a functional subsystem, especially in combination with WEISS rotary indexing tables or linear transfer systems. It is integrated into the system as a whole using the plug-and-work principle. HP 70 features free programmability. The WEISS Application Software W.A.S. helps with integration. The control package simplifies programming and operation. System operators and users do not require any in-depth control knowledge.

The HSB-sigma® ZRX outdoor unit has been specifically engineered for long-term operation in demanding environmental conditions. While conventional linear units quickly reach their limits when exposed to intense sunlight, rain, severe temperature fluctuations, and contamination, the ZRX sets new standards for robust outdoor applications. Its combination of a high-performance toothed belt drive and a precision roller guide system ensures exceptional dynamics, operational reliability, and repeat accuracy, even under harsh climatic influences. The performance of the HSB-sigma® ZRX was validated by an independent testing laboratory under realistic, industry-relevant conditions. Despite extreme stress scenarios, the unit remained fully functional throughout all test cycles, clear evidence of its suitability for use in exposed and demanding environments.

Even a product that has long been in demand on the market but could previously only be obtained from a few sources offers new opportunities when one of the largest manufacturers offers it for the first time. More competition brings more comparability, both in terms of quality and price. Our HTS-AN25 is a shrink sleeve in a class of its own. It is temperature-resistant up to 150 °C, particularly resistant to oils and other chemicals and is very easy to process. It is therefore particularly suitable for military applications, but also for special vehicle construction, for example. It has undergone the necessary certifications and has the following approvals: VG 95343 T05D, VG95343-14, VG95343-2, VDE File 088218, SAE-AS23053/16

The Push-In connection technology is a further development of the cage clamp connection and expands the portfolio of Industrial Connectors Han® with an additional field connection method. The focus is on fast and uncomplicated assembly of the connector with consistent quality and robustness.
