izardJust returned from Nuernberg where I attended IPC SPS Drives trade fair.
This is my favorite trade fair: I think it is more geeky than anything else, including Cebit, CES, MWC, etc. Because robots are everywhere!
This robot is special: it was the only one out of hundreds that was utterly useless :)
More robots under cut.
Playing tic tac toe with a safety twist. There were tens of vendors of robotic arms, so I would only post this pic from 3S booth showing Kuka arm controlled by IEC61131 software running on a Bosch PLC.
I should write a post about safety :) There are some interesting developments in the field.
Mechanical equalizer shows live music spectrum:
Siemens was not short of space.
They had almost a whole hall for themselves, and installed equipment simulating big part of a factory, a lot of moving parts, more than their next 2 competitors combined had.
To be really original and to attract visitors a creative company placed a retro-industrial installation at their booth:
With everyone else showing 21st century technology it was eye catching to see 19th century technology works too.
All pics in picasa album. Not too many this time because I broke my camera in Berlin so now it only works in full auto mode.
