ENGIMACH Stands for Engineering Excellence The 14th ENGIMACH is all set to achieve greater milestones
T
he Indian Engineering sector has witnessed a remarkable growth over the last few years driven by increased investments in infrastructure and industrial production. The engineering sector, being closely associated with the manufacturing and infrastructure sectors is of strategic importance to India's economy. A tech-savvy and educated population, skilled labour, robust legal and IPR regime, and a strong commitment to calibrated liberalization, India is the next global manufacturing hub. India, on its quest to become a global superpower, has taken significant strides toward the development of its engineering sector with the establishment of Engineering Export Promotion Council, launch of initiatives like Make-in India, Skill India and the presence of
favorable demographic dividends. With the aim to boost the manufacturing sector, the government has relaxed the excise duties on factory gate tax, capital goods, consumer durables and vehicles. Over the years, ENGIMACH has been one of the prime contributors to the development of the machine tools industry, that enables its participants and visitors with cutting edge and power house technology that stands for engineering excellence, innovation, quality and reliability. ENGIMACH is not just a trade show but a platform to see, understand and learn where the industry is heading. The show has offered a quintessential launch pad for new ideas, products and services, a conducive environment for forging joint ventures, collaborations and an open marketplace to source ideal solutions with over 10,00,000 business visitors and beneficiaries. The 14th ENGIMACH, a step ahead of its previous editions is an apt platform for presenting and viewing the industry's technological prowess and innovations in all its glory. Products, processes, technology, emerging innovations, active participation of national and international companies, knowledge exchange with world leaders, ample investment opportunities, business tie-ups and much more will be the highlights of the event.

ndia’s Largest Laser Systems Manufacturing company, Sahajanand Laser Technology Ltd. has won the Best Brand award by Economic Times. The award was received by Dr. Arvind Patel (Chairman and MD, SLTL Group) in Pune on 19th Nov, 2019. The company has been operating in this business since 1989 in capital of Gujarat. The company is best known around the world for inventing world’s first Fiber Laser Cutting System which went on to become a complete game changer for the metal forming system. The Fiber Laser Cutting system was 30% more efficient than the conventional techniques and a complete maintenance free technology. Today, the market for Fiber Laser Cutting systems is 800-1000 units per year in India. Over the span of years, the company has contributed to the industries to define the futuristic growth. SLTL Group is significantly responsible for the evolution and foothold of diamond industry in India which as of today contributes to 7% of India’s total GDP.
SLTL Group has always been a proud partner with Indian Government to move towards growth. Historically looking in 1997-98, after the successful testing of nuclear test at Pokhran, foreign countries imposed technological embargo on India which refused India’s access to technology from foriegn countries. Then, the ordnance factory required CO2 cutting technology which was then unavailable in India. The company took it as a challenge and delivered the India’s first ingenious CO2 laser cutting system. The company’s core focus is to continuously innovate and today dedicates 10% of total revenue in DSIR approved in-house R&D team. As a result, today the organization has installed more than 10000 systems and received 25 patents.

SCHUNK gripping system kit Complete gripping system kit for Universal Robots robot arms
Automating fast, easy, and flexible – this is the aim of the SCHUNK gripping system kit, which is compatible with all Universal Robots robot arms. SCHUNK offers as the world's first manufacturer a comprehensive range of standardized components for the 6-axis lightweight UR robots, which comprises both fields of application, gripping and changing as well as measuring forces and torques. Specially coordinated interfaces and adapters make sure that all modules of the modular system are combinable with the UR robot
The manual change system SCHUNK SHS facilitates a rapid exchange of the individual components from the SCHUNK gripping system kit for UR robot arms. This means that they are flexibly applicable with minimum set-up effort for a wide range of applications. Picture: SCHUNK
SCHUNK is now offering an entire gripping system kit consisting of electrically and pneumatically controlled grippers, quick-change modules, and force/torque sensors that is specifically tailored to Universal Robots robot arms. Picture: SCHUNK
arms and can be quickly exchanged. It will now be as easy to commission the peripheries as it is to program the robot. Instead of planning and implementing the electric or pneumatic actuation and the sensor connections individually each time at great expense, the interfaces of the grippers, quick-change modules, and sensors are perfectly adjusted to another within the modular system. All modules are easily connectable via Plug & Work to the robot arms. Neither mounting kits nor external valves are required for this. Furthermore, special plugins will facilitate commissioning in the future, meaning particularly newcomers will be able to benefit from a fast and uncomplicated entry into process automation. SCHUNK is consistently pursuing the idea of simple automation as represented by UR in the field of gripping systems. Manual change systems for fast gripper change In the first step the SCHUNK gripping system kit for Universal Robots robot arms will include:The multi-tooth guided and especially precise and powerful SCHUNK parallel grippers PGN-plus-P in the sizes 80 and 100, the multi-tooth guided centric grippers PZN-plus 64, the price-to-performance-optimized universal grippers JGP 80 and 100; the long-stroke grippers KGG 100-80 and PSH 22-1, the electric gripper for small components EGP, and the Co-act EGP-C, designed for collaborative applications. All micro valves for actuating the pneumatic modules are integrated in the SCHUNK adapters. Added to this is the manual change system SHS with integrated air feed-through, electrical feedthrough, and optional locking monitoring for gripper change in a matter of seconds. The changing system facilitates a particularly flexible use of the UR arms, as complicated set-up processes are no more necessary, and both SCHUNK grippers and other actuators with ISO-50 flange can be precisely and reliably exchanged in just a few steps. Right from the beginning, an attractively priced force/torque sensor is also included in the SCHUNK modular system kit. The SCHUNK FT AXIA 80 facilitates the precise measuring of forces (resolution 1/10 N) and torques (resolution 1/200 Nm) in all six degrees of freedom. Altogether, the modular program currently enables 36 combination possibilities. With maximum gripping forces ranging from 140 to 930 N and strokes from 6 to 40 mm, it covers a wide range of fields of application, both in conventional automation and in the field of collaborative applications. It is therefore equally suitable for newcomers to automation as well as for professionals in the metal-cutting industry, the automotive industry, and the electronics industry, as well as many other sectors seeking to tap into the potential of automation using UR robots.
