New EPLAN Cogineer automates generation of schematics

Schaumburg, IL, April 20, 2017 – EPLAN is launching EPLAN Cogineer, a new software package that generates schematics automatically, at the 2017 Hannover Trade Fair later this month. “We’ve developed a solution that is easy to use, yet very innovative,” says Dieter Pesch, EPLAN’s Senior Vice President of Product Management and Development. The major benefits are time saved and error avoidance. While EPLAN Cogineer is suitable for projects of any size, it can save huge amounts of engineering time – days or even weeks – in large or complex projects with many schematics, typical of what one encounters nowadays in modular machine or systems design.

Ten times more service life for linear guides in robotic welding applications

A manufacturer of sheet metal assemblies recently sought a solution to short lifespan issues with the drive and guide elements on its automated welding systems. In fact, the linear guides for a robotic welding gun on one particular production line had to be replaced every two or three months. Due to the cost of replacement parts and maintenance time, as well as equipment downtime, the company asked NSK to investigate and provide a proposal to address the problem.
