Continuous Filament Fabrication (CFF) is a patented technology that allows Markforged users to produce 3D printed components with extreme stability. With this technology, the continuous fibre is additionally inserted into the component via a second nozzle in the print head. It is called continuous fibre because it has only one start and one end point per layer. This allows you to achieve stabilities that are superior to milled aluminium in outstanding quality! Thanks to the supplied and optimally adjusted EIGER software, you can insert the continuous fibre individually per layer and, of course, also over the entire surface. Carbon, Kevlar, glass fibre and high-temperature glass fibre are available as continuous fibre reinforcement.

High dynamics and maximum power density The DIP synchronous servo motor sets a new standard in power and efficiency. With up to three times the acceleration compared to equivalent AMKmotion servo motors, it impresses with high torque and extreme speeds – delivering maximum force in minimal space. The result: more compact machines, higher energy efficiency, and greater performance in the same footprint. More power. Less space. Maximum efficiency – with the DIP. Shorter cycle times and precise motion The DIP synchronous servo motor delivers top-level repeatability and precise motion control. It reduces cycle times, optimizes process sequences, and significantly boosts your machine’s productivity. Precision, speed, and reliability – all combined in the DIP. Energy-efficient and resource-saving The DIP synchronous servo motor stands out for its exceptional energy efficiency: it requires significantly less power than comparable models to achieve the same acceleration. Thanks to its reluctance design, it delivers maximum torque without additional magnetic material – reducing the use of rare earth elements. Less energy. Fewer resources. Greater sustainability – with the DIP.

IE4 motors from FFD offers higher energy savings, lower operational cost and latest technology at reliable use. Furthermore protects the lower energy consumption on the environment.

The diversity of sensor management If machines or other objects are equipped with sensors, they can be monitored automatically. Data is transferred quickly and reliably to maintenance software such as TOM at a specified interval. The maintenance technician can monitor the status of the machines directly via the software and thus saves a part of the working time through daily rounds and manual measurements. Based on the experience of the maintenance technician, standard and limit values are stored in the digital maintenance planner. If the sensors measure borderline conditions, an alarm is automatically raised. The maintenance engineer can react immediately and use the CMMS/CAFM software to analyze and evaluate the situation and initiate appropriate measures. The possible uses of sensor management are very diverse. In addition to the classic use in the industrial sector, sensors can also pave the way to predictive maintenance in facility management, in medicine and at supply and disposal companies.

Beckhoff Vision & Hefel Technik: Seamlessly Integrated Vision in TwinCAT The integration of Beckhoff Vision makes image processing a permanent part of the familiar control environment. Hefel Technik bridges the gap between complex vision logic and daily application by encapsulating the powerful TwinCAT Vision library into ready-to-use, intuitive function blocks. Our guiding principle, "See & Move," achieves a new level of technological depth: image data is integrated directly into the PLC logic without delay, eliminating time-consuming data transfers between separate systems. The hardware used is uncompromisingly designed for industrial requirements. High-performance cameras with 2.5 GBit LAN ensure extremely fast image transmission, while specialized vibration-resistant optics with M3 locking screws remain absolutely stable even under loads of up to 10 G. For maximum efficiency, the GigE area scan camera unit offers a turnkey solution consisting of a camera, liquid lens focusing, and lighting in a compact IP65/67 housing. Hefel Technik makes implementation particularly easy for control engineers: instead of complex programming, our specially developed interface allows for graphical parametrization via sliders, live visualization of results, and a clear tabular display of all process data. This transforms professional vision into an uncomplicated, standard tool within your TwinCAT environment.

u‑OS is an open, modular automation platform for industrial applications and Industrial IoT. The operating system provides a flexible software foundation for control, edge, and automation solutions and enables seamless interaction between OT and IT systems. At the core of u‑OS is a consistently open architecture. The use of established standards such as Linux, container technologies, and open communication protocols enables vendor‑independent integration of proprietary applications as well as third‑party solutions. Automation systems can thus be individually configured, extended, and continuously developed without being tied to proprietary end‑to‑end systems. u‑OS supports a gradual entry into modern automation. Existing plants, architectures, and engineering concepts can be retained and selectively extended. Applications for control, data processing, visualization, or analytics can be added modularly as required. This scalability makes u‑OS particularly suitable for small and medium‑sized enterprises seeking to implement automation in an economical and flexible way. Another key innovation is the integrated security concept. Features such as role‑based access control, secure communication, and regular updates are integral components of the platform and form the basis for reliable and future‑proof automation.
