At SPS 2024 in Nuremburg, Germany, Contrinex its innovative non-contact solution for double-sheet detection, a persistent challenge for manufacturers of formed metal parts in the automotive and related sectors. With a dedicated app that ensures rapid no-code set-up, Smart-Measurement Sensors distinguish with exceptional accuracy between single- and double-sheet conditions, in real time and without compromising the production process. In the automotive metal-forming sector, with an increasing variety of steel- and aluminum-sheet thicknesses, double-sheet errors become more difficult to detect. This heightens the risk of tool damage if a heavy sheet-metal press attempts to form two or more sheets together. Specialist…

Fronius, the innovation leader in arc welding, is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its revolutionary Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) welding process. Since its introduction in 2005, CMT has changed the world of welding for good and set new standards in precision, stability, and versatility. The CMT process is based on a reversing wire movement that enables controlled droplet detachment. This movement ensures a stable arc and minimizes heat input. This results in almost spatter-free, clean welds that have a high quality and aesthetics. Another advantage of the CMT process is the low thermal load on the workpiece. This reduces distortion…
