Press Photos and Picture Database

So as to support your reporting on VDW and the German machine tool industry, we will be pleased to make available to you pictures and photos for editorial use. Please make sure you always give the correct source attribution(s). We would very much appreciate it if after publication you could send us a link or a courtesy copy of your coverage for our archives.

You will always find press material for covering our NORTEC and EMO Hannover trade fairs on the website of the fair in question. For photos, audio contributions and videos on EMO Hannover, please follow this link. You can retrieve press photos on NORTEC here.

A crucial and topical issue is how the CE process is handled when robots are used at different stations.

The more closely man and machine can collaborate, the more efficient robot applications will become. However, this involves increased safety requirements, as each application has its own individual safety aspects which need to be considered.

Jörg Stahlmann, Consenses, Roßdorf: "You have to identify the point up to which real-time makes sense. There is also the question of how the data is synchronised. The sampling rates required for describing the process adequately are also important." Photo: Consenses

Thomas Päßler, IWU, Chemnitz: "Real-time data acquisition becomes indispensable when it's the only way to prevent damage to hardware or workpieces. This applies in the case of tool breakage or excessive stress on assemblies such as bearings or frame components, for example." Photo: IWU
