Bosch Rexroth to Host Live Industry Webinar Showcasing New Factory of the Future Automation Project

"Rexroth ON LOCATION — The Future of Factory Automation" will feature world-class precision automation customer DWFritz Automation and their development of a highly complex automated assembly line

Experts from both companies will come together to discuss how they implemented a concurrent design/build project for a complex, high speed "factory of the future" automated assembly line. During the webinar, attendees will learn how Bosch Rexroth can transform current manufacturing lines into the future.


DWFritz Automation (www.dwfritz.com) designs and manufactures custom automation systems for advanced manufacturing in the medical device, aerospace, consumer electronics, energy storage, automotive, semiconductor and other industries.

The discussion will explore the challenges as well as the engineering and technology solutions used to successfully speed up the process for getting a high-precision consumer electronics assembly line to market.

In addition to engineering support, Bosch Rexroth provided a multi-technology offering from its Automation and Electrification, Linear Motion and Assembly Technology business units.

The automation platform included the new ctrlX CORE controller from Bosch Rexroth's recently introduced ctrlX AUTOMATION system. With its open and flexible architecture, ctrlX CORE removes the boundaries between IPC, embedded system and drive-based technology platforms.

Relevant to anyone responsible for managing complex machine automation projects, the panel of experts will cover several areas, including:
• Simplifying a complex design/build process to shorten lead times and accelerate time to market
• Successful collaboration for engineering, logistics and fulfillment
• Realization of advanced automation, linear motion and assembly technology and components
In addition, this free, one-hour webinar will open up for attendee Q&A.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
