IFEMA trade fair in Madrid
Industrial robotics
specialist Yaskawa Ibérica exhibited at the IFEMA trade fair in Madrid from 7
to 9 May. The Japanese company showcased a range of innovative robot solutions
for the plastics industry.
They included the MH12
robot, which was equipped with ultrasonic units for cutting and punching
manufactured by Telsonic AG, with whom the company works in partnership.
According to Yaskawa,
it is the versatility of this functionality in combination with automated
quick-change systems that really sets it apart, because it can be used for
different materials and applications, allowing its productivity to come to the
fore. Sources from the company also added that the cuts that are made are of
high quality and equipment maintenance is minimal.
The Skoda Octavia
bumper on show at the stand to present the SONIQTWIST® torsional welding
technique developed and patented by Telsonic also attracted a great deal of
interest. The main benefit of the technique is its ability to weld sensors to
paint-finished plastic parts gently and without leaving marks. SONIQTWIST® is
also capable of much higher tensile forces than alternative methods.
In 2018, Spain produced
approximately 2.3 million cars, making it the eighth largest country for
automobile production in the world and the second largest car manufacturer in
Europe after Germany (Germany produces a little over 5 million vehicles).
Consequently, the
company's stand generated high levels of interest and the quality of visitors
from Tier 1 companies and car manufacturers was excellent.
