| Profiling with an Optimum Control Combination |
|  The German machine manufacturer BJM has innovated its processing of window, door and facade profiles with a combination of industrial PC and multi-channel CNC control. Two five-axis heads enable simultaneous processing from all six sides for the first time. Parallel to this, workpiece data can be entered in the Sinumerik control, NC programs created and orders managed. The uniform PC platform for the control panel and CAD/CAM system enables a clear division of tasks and simplifies handling.

| Technology CPU Underscores Productivity |
|  With modern control, drive and bus technology, a Northern German brick manufacturing plant has modernized its manufacturing equipment, which was still operational on the level of mechanical equipment, with a new automation solution, thereby posi-tioning the operation well for future competition. Now, a Profibus-compa-tible controller with integrated tech-nology functions fully automatically controls the stacking of the dried bricks onto the furnace carriages. Consequently, retooling of production formats can be performed much faster while downtimes have been greatly minimized.

| Precision inspection with Vision Sensor |
|  Synchronous rings for automobile gearboxes need to meet high demands in terms of load capacity and dimensional stability. At the same time, however, they have to be manufacturable at a reasonable cost. The press specialist Lasco has optimized the production process and reduced the number of processing steps with a fully automatic production line and subsequent hot calibration of powder pressed synchronous rings.
