Mechanical engineering as a competitiveness carrier in the Industrie Paris 2014 trade fair
The demonstrations which will be carried out on Labo Industrie, a dedicated space in the next Industrie Paris 2014 trade fair, will feature technologies and innovations such as a robotic finishing cell, an Able arm orthosis or virtual and augmented reality tools, among others. Do not miss this mechanical engineering trade fair!
The Industrie Paris 2014 will open its gates from 31 March to 4 April 2014 in the Paris-Nord Villepinte exhibition centre and its main theme will be “Building tomorrow’s solutions”. This new edition of the industry trade fair will be the place to be for stakeholders of the industrial sector in general and of the mechanical engineering sector in particular. Innovation, unity of strengths, winning back and competitiveness will be some of the main subjects of this trade fair.
With its strong theme “Mechanical industries: a carrier for your competitiveness”, the stand shared by FIM, Cetim and Symop will be a perfect example of unity. Beyond that slogan, the experts from these three united organisations do everything in their power to support small and medium companies in their strive to transform their companies and products with a view to enhance competitiveness and be more successful on markets.
Competitiveness demonstrators
To demonstrate the transformations under way within companies and present new growth opportunities, Cetim, Symop and CEA will unveil several demonstrators on the “Labo Industrie” shared space. Some of these demonstrators stem from the Capme’Up programme which is being carried out within the scope of the Investissements d’avenir (investment for the future). Capme’Up is the association of three Carnot institutes: CEA List, Ifpen and Cetim.
The robotic finishing cell will be the star attraction of these demonstrations. It was developed by two Carnot institutes (Cetim and CTIF), a systems integrator (Actemium) and a group of industrial manufacturers, and it will allow companies to test full-scale automated finishing solutions. Since it can be easily reconfigured, the robotic manufacturing cell is therefore perfectly suitable to manufacture small series of products and it will be a concrete opportunity for industrial manufacturers to assess or even smoothly become familiar with this technology.
Another star of this dedicated space will be the Able arm orthosis, a seven‑axis motor‑operated exoskeleton developed by CEA List. Able is a force feedback arm designed to assist operators in their industrial gestures. This motor-operated arm fits the human arm and moves simultaneously with it while providing a 2-kg assistance at the operator’s hand.
Augmented and virtual reality demonstrations will also be presented.
