ACTIA is among the top 5 EMS providers in France in turnover generated by electronics production*. In 2020, its showcase factory in Colomiers, near Toulouse, generated a turnover of 283 million euros, which is 10% of the French EMS market. The site has a high level of industrial excellence and is continuing its reconfiguration which began in recent years through a Factory 5.0 programme with a deadline set for 2025. This ambitious, innovation-driven project involves a 360-degree transformation of the factory in five key areas: industrial, energy, environmental, security and social.In this article, ACTIA reveals the details of its Factory 5.0 road map.
Visitors inspired by innovations to accelerate and enhance surface-mount assembly.Yamaha Motor Europe Robotics Division has introduced advanced, new solutions for surface-mount assembly at Productronica 2021 in Munich, where the electronics industry gathered to discover new technologies.
Desktop Metal (NYSE: DM), a leader in mass production additive manufacturing (AM) solutions, and Uniformity Labs, a leading AM company revolutionizing industrial 3D printing materials and processes, today unveiled a partnership to qualify and deliver ultra-low porosity binder jetting powders that exhibit exceptional sintered part density and mechanical properties paired with Desktop Metal’s AM 2.0 binder jetting solutions.
Various electronic devices which belong to one product series but are offered in different case sizes due to the electronic components installed in them, require appropriate cases. For those applications Fischer Elektronik offer their customers universal sheet metal cases with freely selectable dimensions now.
Large power stations with their large synchronous generators provide stability in the power grid, but are being successively powered down in the course of the energy transition. In order to address this issue, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE are working on how grid-forming converters can ensure a future supply of sinusoidal alternating current and stable grid frequency.
A linear actuator is usually needed to move an object in a straight line, from a conveyor to a metal press. While some applications requiring the highest forces and longest strokes might need hydraulic actuation, in the majority of cases, electromechanical actuator technology provides both machine builders and machine users with significant advantages.
SICK has released a ground-breaking miniature version of its powerful and robust Visionary-T 3D snapshot vision sensor. Thanks to a pioneering collaboration between SICK AG and Microsoft Corp., the SICK Visionary-T Mini packs precise, high-resolution and rapid image capture into a robust design that is both compact and lightweight for a wide variety of industrial uses.
