<p>In modern aircraft production, precision is everything. Every hole and every fixing point must be precisely positioned to ensure safety and quality. As part of the DiCADeMA project (Digital Cabin Architectures and Design for Manufacturing) led by the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), a novel, fully digitally networked process has been developed.</p>
<p>Through intelligent automation, this approach elevates aircraft cabin manufacturing to a new level. A key component in this process is an Ensenso 3D camera from IDS Imaging Development Systems, which ensures highly precise detection and alignment of drilling positions.</p>
<h4>Digital process chain from design to production</h4>
<p>The aim of the project is to establish a continuous digital thread from design to production. Changes to the cabin design, such as seat spacing and the associated new position of the luggage compartments, are recorded directly in the digital design data and automatically transferred to production planning. Simulations allow these variants to be validated before any physical component is manufactured. Once digital validation is complete, production can begin immediately.</p>
<p>To make this digital process tangible, an automated system for marking drilling positions was developed on a mock-up of an aircraft frame structure. Several networked systems work together in this setup: An autonomous mobile robot (AMR) approaches the frame and positions itself near the target area. Mounted on the AMR is a lightweight robot that moves the marking unit, including the 3D camera, into the acquisition position. At this point, the Ensenso camera takes over the fine alignment. An integrated Manufacturing Execution System (MES) controls all sub-processes.</p>
<h4>The role of the 3D camera</h4>
<p>The camera used, an Ensenso N36, captures the environment as a three-dimensional point cloud and matches it against the CAD data of the aircraft frame. In this way, even the smallest deviations between the target model and the actual geometry can be detected. The system uses this data to calculate precise correction values, which are transmitted to the higher-level MES.</p>
<p>Communication takes place via a standardised OPC UA interface, ensuring reliable and secure data exchange between the camera, the robot and the control system. The MES translates the acquired data into concrete control commands for the robot, which then performs the marking of the drilling position.</p>
<p>The autonomous robot achieves a positioning accuracy of around five millimetres. This allows the camera to reach the acquisition position without risk of collision.</p>
<p>The Ensenso camera becomes a key link between digital design and real-world manufacturing: It recognises local geometries, in this case several rivets and the surface on which they are set and compares the captured point clouds with the reference data from the CAD. This comparison is made possible, among other things, by hand–eye calibration and an iterative minimisation process. The result is a transformation matrix that precisely describes the correction required for the drilling position. By applying this correction value, the drilling position can be set precisely.</p>
<p>An operator follows the vehicle and drills the hole immediately afterwards at the marked spot. This process is repeated for each installation point, while robots and humans can work safely in close proximity to one another.</p>
<p>For this application in aircraft manufacturing, a compact camera with a very short working distance is required in order to keep the path from the acquisition position to the drilling position as short as possible. This helps to maintain high accuracy and avoids excessive robot movements. The Ensenso N36 meets these requirements. The Ensenso N series has been specially developed for use in demanding environmental conditions.</p>
<p>Thanks to its compact design, the camera can be installed in a space-saving manner, either in a fixed position or mounted on a robot arm. This makes it equally suitable for 3D capture of both moving and stationary objects. The integrated projector ensures high-contrast texture even under challenging lighting conditions: It projects additional structures onto the object surface using a pattern mask with a random dot pattern, thereby supplementing missing or weak features. All cameras are pre-calibrated at the factory and can therefore be put into operation quickly and easily.</p>
<h4>Benefits for manufacturing</h4>
<p>The digital process offers the DLR several advantages. Camera-based alignment significantly increases precision and repeatability. At the same time, continuous data acquisition enables complete documentation and traceability of all process steps. Assembly personnel are relieved, as the robot takes over the time-consuming task of position determination, allowing skilled workers to focus on the actual assembly operation. In addition, production times are significantly reduced, as manual measurements or readjustments are no longer necessary.</p>
<p>The demonstration on the mock-up clearly illustrates the potential that lies in combining the digital process chain, robotics and 3D image processing. In further project steps, the accuracy of the system and the performance of the evaluation algorithms will be examined in greater detail. This will involve not only the camera itself, but also the optimisation of the mathematical methods used to align nominal and actual point clouds.</p>
<p>What is currently being tested in aircraft manufacturing may also be applied in other industries in the future. The system impressively demonstrates how optical sensor technology and intelligent software are paving the way for a new era in manufacturing: networked, efficient and precisely on target.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.roboticsupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/260428_lenze_2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10692" src="https://www.roboticsupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/260428_lenze_2-300x200.jpg" alt="260428_lenze_2" width="300" height="200" /></a>At Interpack 2026, <a title="Lenze" href="https://www.lenze.com" target="_blank">Lenze</a> will demonstrate how increasing complexity in packaging machinery can be mastered with well-engineered drive solutions, intelligent electrification, and engineering tools that place speed and simplicity at the forefront.</p>
<p>The demand for ever more powerful machines and increasing regulatory requirements, such as the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), are fundamentally changing the rules in the packaging industry. OEMs are under growing pressure to design packaging that is as small, material-efficient, and sustainable as possible &#8211; while maximising space utilisation and flexibility.</p>
<p>What appears to be purely a packaging issue has far-reaching implications for mechanical engineering: such profound changes in packaging require new machine designs. This presents an opportunity to make machines even more compact, flexible, and energy-efficient while ensuring the highest level of precision.</p>
<h4>High-performance packaging machines</h4>
<p>As a specialist in drive and automation technology, Lenze offers application-specific motion control solutions for the packaging machines of tomorrow. At Interpack 2026, Lenze will show how the combination of in-depth application expertise and powerful servo and drive technology enables precise, energy-efficient, and cost-effective solutions for every machine architecture &#8211; from sensorless control to drive solutions for the highest cycle rates.</p>
<p>Open interfaces, integrated safety, and end-to-end engineering also shorten development times, increase system availability, and ensure the flexibility that modern packaging machines demand.</p>
<h4>Cost and energy efficiency</h4>
<p>With its IE5/IE6 drive system, Lenze offers a decentralised solution with servo-like performance. In combination with the Lenze i650 motec frequency inverter, the Motor Drive System achieves IE5/IE6 energy efficiency classes and supports machine optimisation through sensorless positioning and integrated regenerative capability &#8211; helping OEMs process sustainable packaging materials more effectively.</p>
<p>Visitors will also experience how machine architecture can be adapted flexibly and how high dynamics, precise motion, and reduced hardware effort can be optimally combined for modern packaging machines with demanding motion profiles.</p>
<h4>Inline robotics without cycle interruptions</h4>
<p>Another highlight at the booth is a delta robot demonstrating highly precise pick-and-place processes on two rotating tables &#8211; without having to stop them. Through rotary tracking, products are picked up and placed synchronously, eliminating unnecessary cycle times and maximising efficiency.</p>
<p>This is made possible by Lenze’s “Feasible Application Software Toolbox.” Known as “Lenze FAST,” this modular software toolkit enables machines to be implemented faster, in a more structured way, and with significantly less programming effort. The Lenze FAST Robotics Template used in the delta robot significantly reduces engineering effort by parameterising robotics instead of programming them. Users benefit from short cycle times, increased line performance, and a scalable system solution that ensures the highest level of process reliability.</p>
<h4>Easily realise modular packaging machines</h4>
<p>A real eye-catcher at the booth is the Lenze Jonglator: The high-performance motion control system demonstrates how powerful servo inverters handle complex motion requirements while remaining more compact than purely mechanical motion solutions. Thanks to Lenze’s open architecture, modular machines can be planned and implemented much more easily.</p>
<p>Consistent functions and interfaces across controllers, HMIs, and I/Os enable seamless integration. This means motion, logic, and HMI functions are executed reliably and in parallel, even at high cycle rates and with increasing machine complexity.</p>
<h4>Mpac tray former live at the booth</h4>
<p>Under the motto “Motion enabled by Lenze,” Lenze demonstrates on a machine from customer Mpac how machine solution expertise creates real added value: the high-performance tray former processes up to 200 trays per minute and is therefore ideally designed for demanding production environments.</p>
<p>A rotary infeed concept replaces conventional pusher systems and ensures stable, continuous operation at high speeds. Reliable synchronisation and Lenze’s dynamic drive technology ensure this performance over the long term. As a result, Mpac’s tray erector is an ideal example of sophisticated packaging solutions and demonstrates how the complete Lenze portfolio delivers high speeds, precision, and consistent drive performance in demanding packaging processes.</p>
<p>Another advantage of the system is that it replaces conventional plastic trays with environmentally friendly cardboard containers. This supports the industry’s transition toward more sustainable, plastic-free packaging solutions.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.roboticsupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/260425_ABB.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10678" src="https://www.roboticsupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/260425_ABB-300x225.jpg" alt="260425_ABB" width="300" height="225" /></a><a title="ABB Robotics" href="https://go.abb/robotics" target="_blank">ABB Robotics</a> is combining the flexibility of cobots with higher payloads and performance, with the launch of its new PoWa cobot family into the rapidly expanding global collaborative robot market, which ABB Robotics estimates will grow by 20 percent annually through to 2028.</p>
<p>“Cobots are growing significantly faster than traditional industrial robots, driven by demands from both small and midsized companies starting their automation journey as well as large enterprises,” said Andrea Cassoni, Head of Collaborative Robots at ABB Robotics. “These customers are seeking higher speeds and payloads, but also greater ease of use, and compact designs. Established manufacturers want to automate heavier, fast cycle applications, without the complexity and operational rigidity of traditional industrial robots. We are meeting these needs with the global launch of our high-speed PoWa cobot family &#8211; a name that symbolises its powerful, industrial-grade performance in a compact collaborative robot form.”</p>
<p>The new PoWa family addresses a long‑standing gap in the market between traditional cobots, that often lack the speed and payload required for industrial applications, and conventional industrial robots, which are designed for highly specialised, large-scale automation environments, going beyond the needs of many collaborative tasks.</p>
<p>PoWa extends ABB Robotics’ comprehensive cobot offer with industrial-grade performance including six different payload categories, from 7kg to 30kg, long reach and high arm load and a top speed of up to 5.8 m/s.</p>
<p>Purpose-built for compact environments and ideally suited for applications such as high-speed machine tending, palletising, screwdriving and arcwelding, PoWa enables manufacturers to automate heavier and faster processes, while maintaining the flexibility, ease of use and compact footprint of collaborative robotics.</p>
<p>PoWa cobots are exceptionally easy to use, through programmable buttons on the arm-side interface and no-code programming and are compatible with an extensive ecosystem of third-party accessories. PoWa can be unboxed and operational within an hour and enables seamless plug-and-play with a wide range of tools, blending industrial-grade connectivity and performance with collaborative robot flexibility.</p>
<p>Powered by the ABB OmniCore controller platform, the new PoWa cobots deliver best-in-class motion control, speed, and precision and can be integrated with ABB Robotics’ expanding suite of AI-powered software, including Robot Studio and Wizard Easy Programming, enabling intuitive programming, fast deployment and maximum uptime.</p>
<p>Ensuring collaborative robots can do more things, in more places, and do it faster, safer and smarter is part of ABB Robotics vision for more autonomous and versatile robotics. By developing a new generation of intelligent, flexible, adaptative and collaborative multi-skilled robots, ABB Robotics furthers robots’ ability to learn, understand and plan independently, giving them greater autonomy and versatility.</p>

This collaboration enables manufacturers and machine builders to design, simulate, and deploy smarter, more flexible, and higher-performing production systems through a unified approach that merges virtual and real environments.</p>
<p>Today’s factories often face a critical issue: product design, automation, and production systems operate in silos. This fragmentation leads to longer commissioning times, higher error risks, and limited flexibility. OMRON and Dassault Systèmes are breaking down these barriers by creating a seamless link between 3D design and simulation in the virtual world, and robots, sensors and production lines in the physical world.</p>
<p>The collaboration combines Dassault Systèmes’ 3D UNIV+RSES with OMRON’s Sysmac industrial automation platform, enabling manufacturers to design, simulate, validate and deploy production systems within a continuous virtual environment. At the core of the partnership is the Virtual Twin of Production Systems, which allows companies to test a new production line, validate robot behaviour, or optimise logistics flows – prior to building anything physically.</p>
<p>Thanks to this IT/OT convergence, manufacturers benefit from a digital continuum before deployment and during operations. Production lines are designed, simulated, and validated in a virtual environment augmented by Virtual Companions. Performance, safety, maintenance and other scenarios are tested to correct errors before real-world deployment. Once the physical line is installed, real-time data from sensors, controllers, and robots is fed back into the virtual twin. This enables comparison between real and simulated behaviour, fine-tuning, and predictive maintenance to reduce costs and risks.</p>
<p>“Manufacturing is entering a new era. With OMRON, we are building living production systems, AI-driven, self-improving, and software-defined, where the virtual and physical worlds are fused into one continuous loop of learning. Our industry world models transform complexity into intelligence, making factories not just automated, but autonomous. This is how we reinvent industrial systems, from reactive to predictive, from rigid to adaptive and define the next frontier of manufacturing,” said Pascal Daloz, CEO, Dassault Systèmes.</p>
<p>“Our partnership with Dassault Systèmes strengthens our ability to integrate the OT and IT worlds and provide customers with a holistic solution from simulated to fully implemented, intelligent production,” said Motohiro Yamanishi, Company President of the Industrial Automation Company (IAB), OMRON Corporation.</p>

<p>Founded in London in 2019 with just four members of staff, Recycleye has grown to become the European leader in AI/robotic waste picking technology, helping to revolutionise the waste sector by automating the detection and sorting of mixed recyclables. As a strategic partner, FANUC has been instrumental to the company’s rapid success by helping to derisk Recycleye’s offering to the market. In 2024, the relationship was officially recognised when Recycleye won a FANUC Global Partner Award for Innovation.</p>
<p>The announcement that San Diego-based CP Group has acquired a majority stake in Recycleye significantly expands CP Group’s AI-driven sorting capabilities while further enabling MRF operators to increase recovery, improve purity and generate valuable operational data.</p>
<p>“The combined organisation accelerates AI-enabled sorting and plant control across the full MRF, delivering the performance and purity levels that define the next generation of material recovery,” said Terry Schneider, CP Group CEO. “The applications for AI-based capabilities are significant in MRF systems, and the Recycleye team will enable us to bring powerful new capabilities to the industry in the months ahead.”</p>
<p>Recycleye’s offering combines FANUC’s 6-axis LR Mate robots and iRPickTool visual line tracking technology with its own AI-driven vision system. The Recycleye Robotics solution increases sorting accuracy by up to 12% and improves line output by up to 10%, helping waste operators to boost their bottom line and providing a solution to ongoing labour shortages in the waste management industry. FANUC has supported Recycleye through a commercial and technical partnership since its early days as a startup through to its position today as part of the internationally renowned CP Group.</p>
<p>“This announcement represents a major milestone in Recycleye’s journey, and we are proud to have supported them in creating a product that fits the needs of European and US markets,” said Oliver Selby, Head of Sales for FANUC UK. “Recycleye was our first experience of working with a VC-funded startup. Since then, we have gone on to form strong technical partnerships with a number of venture capital firms, helping both ourselves and those VCs to reduce risk, whilst supporting new entrants into the market. We look forward to seeing what this next chapter will bring for Recycleye, and for the wider recycling sector.”</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.roboticsupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/260421_Beckhoff1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-10656" src="https://www.roboticsupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/260421_Beckhoff1-300x225.jpg" alt="260421_Beckhoff" width="300" height="225" /></a><a title="Beckhoff UK" href="https://www.beckhoff.co.uk/" target="_blank">Beckhoff UK</a> will exhibit at London Lab Live at ExCeL London from May 6-7, 2026, where it will demonstrate how PC-based control can help pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturers build more flexible sample and product handling processes.</p>
<p>A key attraction on the stand will be a live demonstration combining Beckhoff’s XTS intelligent transport system with a Dobot collaborative robot. The XTS combines linear and rotary drive principles, while TwinCAT integrates PLC, motion control and robotics functions on a single Industrial PC.</p>
<p>At London Lab Live, visitors will see the cobot track and interact with independently moving XTS movers in real time, coordinated by one Beckhoff Industrial PC running TwinCAT 3 automation software. The demonstration is designed to show how laboratory and production teams can handle vials, cartridges, microplates and consumables more flexibly, while reducing the need for mechanical changeover.</p>
<p>Because the movers can be controlled individually, the system can adapt to different process steps and container formats within the same machine architecture. The open approach also makes it easier to integrate third-party robotics, existing instruments and wider automation systems, giving users a practical route from laboratory-scale development through to full production.</p>
<p>“Many pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturers want to automate handling tasks without creating rigid systems that are difficult to adapt,” said Bradley McEwan, business development manager at Beckhoff UK. “Our demonstration at London Lab Live shows how transport and robotics can be coordinated in real time on a single control platform. That gives users the flexibility to work with different container types, adapt workflows quickly and scale automation more effectively as requirements change.”</p>
<p>McEwan and technical support engineer Sebastian Lindqvist will be available on stand B51 throughout the show to discuss how Beckhoff’s PC-based control technology can support laboratory automation projects. Visitors can register for the event through the London Lab Live website.</p>
