Robotic Technology Seminar Featured at Texas Automation Trade Event
Fort Worth Convention Center May 7-8, 2014
SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 8, 2014 -- Automation technologies and applications, from robotics and motion control to vision inspection systems and sensors, are used in every industry: medical, electronics, food and beverage, aerospace, automotive, and more. ATX Texas, highlighting automation technologies, is coming to Fort Worth Convention Center May 7-8, 2014. The exposition will provide automation suppliers with the opportunity to showcase their latest developments and products. Attendees will learn about advancements in the industry firsthand. ATX Texas rotates every year between Fort Worth and Houston.
ATX Texas attendees can upgrade their badges to include Learning Labs, 2-hour technical seminars. Innovations in Robotic Technology: Strategic Applications in Manufacturing is just one of the automation-related Learning Labs featured at the trade show. Learn about collaborative robotics; aligning your human and robotic workforce, optimizing vision recognition for increased accuracy, and introducing flexible and lightweight robotics into your factory floor. Guest speakers for this session include Dan Popa, a Multiscale Robotics Professor at UTA, Mel Torrie, CEO of Autonomous Solutions, and Paul Frenger, Owner of A Working Hypothesis. Additional Learning Lab topics include 3D Printing Capabilities: Innovative Tools & New Materials for Design and Manufacturing, Lean Manufacturing & Six Sigma, and Advanced Materials & Device Technology.
Visitors can attend six additional co-located events, which are free with admission to ATX Texas: Design & Manufacturing Texas, TexasPack, MD&M Texas, PLASTEC Texas, Quality Expo Texas, and AeroCon. These events give attendees access to the design, packaging, medical, plastic, quality, and aerospace industries.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
