Axis' Eighth Annual Automation Expo is your
chance to explore new technologies and see what's changing in manufacturing
and process automation. The expo is held at our 10,000 square-foot
facility in Somerville, NJ and features
exhibits, presentations, and seminars from many of today's leaders in
automation technology.
Come at your convenience - we're open from 8:30 AM
- 3:30 PM and will be serving a continental breakfast and a free catered
lunch with refreshments throughout
the day. The complete seminar schedule is listed at the bottom of
this page - don't forget to sign up for those seminars that you wish to
attend!

If you've attended our Automation Expo in previous years, you
can count on a variety of new informational seminars. This year's
schedule is posted below. If you would like more information on any of
the seminar topics, please contact a customer service representative at
1-800-NOW-AXIS.
This seminar by Cognex will provide a comprehensive introduction to machine vision with the goal of providing managers and business owners with the knowledge necessary to identify potential vision applications at your facility. From the basics of: What can a vision system do? How much does it cost to integrate the hardware onto my production line? Can my staff support / maintain a vision system? How much savings can be expected with an installed system? This seminar will answer questions that managers need to know before investments can be allocated.
Danaher Motion “product sets” integrate components of motion control so that customer implementation is simplified.
The IEC 61131 Product Set: offers the entire electromechanical spectrum for motion control from advanced software algorithm development to precision mechanical components.
AKM Gearmotors Product Set: combines the industry-leading torque density from the AKM servomotors with the proven performance of Micron TRUE planetary Gearheads.
Rotary Indexer Product Set: provides unmatched flexibility, enabling the user to achieve motion sequences not possible in mechanical indexing. Precision technology allows for superior repeatability and accuracy. Zero maintenance and rapid start up combine to offer the lowest total cost of ownership of any rotary indexing option.
Siemens will show how greater transparency between the factory or plant and the business environment is made possible by an expansive, yet scaleable HMI family, including operator panels, visualization software and SCADA
systems. Examples of integration with complementary technologies
will be demonstrated.
The SICK IVC-3D is a vision system which combines the flexibility of smart cameras and the power of high-speed 3D in a robust industrial package.
The appreciation of depth or height is something not lost in the engineering, manufacturing and process industries, as well as logistics. What is not appreciated is that 3D vision technology exists to turn this appreciation into cost savings and improved quality. Ability of imaging and analysis into one camera housing, using the same powerful image processing tools embraced for 2D cameras today. Now, complicated machine vision applications are made simple ... and with all the advantages of 3D!
Combining both machine safety and standard machine control on one fieldbus is key to nearly eliminating all relays and "out-to-the field" wiring, creating significant reductions in control panel space requirements, hardware requirements, engineering design, troubleshooting, and overall wiring costs. Learn how you can save time and money, and reduce risk with the only single CPU, integrated platform that is UL-CSA-TUV approved for networked safety.
Going wireless eliminates the expense of installing cable and conduit. Learn how 900 MHz frequency hopping spread spectrum radio, 802.11 wireless Ethernet radio and Bluetooth radio can be applied for discrete, analog, serial and Ethernet communication.
New industrial digital UHF Wireless Radio modem products provide protected FCC-licensed wireless communication and an unprecedented level of data protection. The UHF industrial radios are the first of their kind to feature collision avoidance, packet-error checking and security with AES 128-bit encryption, making it one of the most advanced licensed radio modems available today.
This seminar is designed for engineers and technicians who want to learn how to setup, program, and integrate a complete vision system. This is a highly interactive seminar with live demonstrations of real applications to give an understanding of: What can a vision system do? How do I get started? How does the vision system communicate with the rest of my machine? How do I capture an image? How do I program the vision system to inspect the image once I've captured it? What hardware is involved? How do I select lights, lenses, and I/O accessories? How do I create an HMI for the vision system? Each guest will receive a complimentary copy of Cognex InSight Explorer software which will allow you to "simulate" the functionality of a real vision system on your laptop.
It is time to differentiate Fiction from Reality! From real world challenges, to future trends in RFID applications and technology. Siemens expertise in RFID, based on 250.000 installed readers, will demonstrate how RFID technology can increase the productivity of manufacturing operations. A real world ROI case demonstrates how the implementation of RFID generates significant return on capital as well as increased factory throughput.
Power Surges and Lightening Lead to Unnecessary Equipment Damage, Downtime and Lost Productivity. Learn how to implement protection for power supply, measurement and control, transceiver signals and information technology (data and telecommunications) with Phoenix Contact's experience, expertise and extensive TRABTECH product line.
This seminar will discuss basic types of power products used in
generation applications. Attendees will learn the capabilities of
power products as they relate to communicating data to a network.
You will learn how to gather, record, and view power data on a
network. You will also learn that the control of power products is
possible via a remote network.
Direct drive motors, as the name implies, supply torque and speed to the load directly, that is, without the need for a mechanical transmission. Direct drive motors provide maximum dynamic response and positioning accuracy. Also, direct drive motors virtually eliminate maintenance and contaminates to the local environment. For this reason they are highly valuable for 'clean room' environments and low maintenance applications.
