Automation for Industry 4.0
In today’s Industry 4.0 landscape, measurement technology is often viewed as the “referee” at the end of the production line. But if you truly want to scale automation, you must understand measurement technology as an integral part of the control loop.
In automated systems, milliseconds and micrometers determine success. If sensors and data acquisition systems do not deliver the necessary precision and speed, automated control loops are based on faulty assumptions. The result: scrap, unstable processes, and unplanned downtime.
A perfect example: Balancingin high-speed manufacturing.
Consider rotating components in e-mobility or mechanical engineering. Here, balancing is a critical process step. In an automated production line, the measurement technology must not only detect the imbalance but also transmit the data to the processing stations (e.g., laser or drilling units) with such precision and speed that immediate correction is possible without manual intervention.
Many standard measurement systems fail to synchronize these large volumes of data or lack the necessary resolution to isolate the slightest vibration nuances in real time. The measurement technology solutions from Labortechnik Tasler GmbH are designed for precisely such high demands and are therefore ideal for industrial automation:
• Extreme bandwidth & resolution: We capture transients and high-frequency signals where other systems see only noise.
• Seamless integration: Our systems are designed to be integrated as a “data engine” into complex automation environments
• Synchronization: Whether one channel or hundreds, the temporal correlation of the data is absolutely uncompromising with our measurement systems.
Anyone looking to increase the efficiency of their automated systems must not neglect the data foundation. We provide the technological foundation so that your automation not only runs, but performs with the highest precision.
Are you planning to automate your test benches or do you need high-end measurement technology for your production line? If so, we’d love to hear from you.
