From May 12 to 15, Detroit will host the Automate Show 2025, marking another edition of this pivotal event in robotics and automation. As the largest automation trade show in the Americas, it shows the latest advancements and practical applications across numerous industries

A motion controller with even more possibilities: With the new MC 3602 B and MC 3606 B motion controllers, the selection and commissioning of drive systems is now even simpler

Advances in camera sensor technology and systems design are allowing higher speeds and resolutions than ever before.

The QA industry is looking forward to the 37th Control, international trade fair for quality assurance (QA), from May 6 to 9, 2025 in Stuttgart

Theia Technologies expands its lens system series with new 4K resolution, multi-spectral lenses

In modern production, thousands of small parts are inspected and sorted. The Eyesorter Checkbox offers an intelligent solution for efficiently automating these processes.

Battery production is at the heart of industrial and climate policy worldwide. Indeed, the demand for energy storage systems for electromobility and stationary applications is growing globally as is the importance of efficient, sustainable and regionally independent battery production.

Coherent’s Thomas Hofmeister and Majid Abbasi discuss how lasers have played a key role in the transformation of manufacturing in the automotive industry in a new PhotonicsViews article.

At Politecnico di Milano, the Laboratory for Laser Applications, SITEC, looks towards the development of new processes enabling new products and solutions for electric mobility exploiting the increased availability of laser-based manufacturing solutions in the industry.

Two recent advances in laser welding, described in a PhotonicsViews special issue, have the ability to increase both productivity and part quality for e-mobility applications.

In a study by BLZ researchers, two laser sources – green and IR – were compared for laser welding at identical laser spot sizes. The results are presented in a the PhotonicsViews special issue.

Projects Twin-Weld and MULTISPOT overcome the limitations of fixed bifocal optics and develop a welding head with a matrix of 3 × 3 laser diodes that can be individually controlled.

Battery production in focus: today’s challenges – laser technology as the solution.

A new high-tech system can dissolve paint on complex 3D components efficiently by laser and the paint can be removed like a film – residue-free and without harmful substances.

Optical coherence tomography in a laser processing head can accomplish precise real-time post-process control and position adjustment for the filler wire.

High-quality cut edges are essential to ensure reliable electric connections and prevent defects like spatter and dross, which can cause internal short circuits.
