System partnership with Micro-Epsilon
In order to be able to offer our customers high-quality application solutions and on-site service, we are working closely with our new partner Micro-Epsilon.
Micro-Epsilon is the world’s leading supplier of high-precision displacement sensors, infrared temperature sensors, colour sensors, dimensional measuring devices and systems for industrial applications.
This enables us to expand our solution competence and the range of products and services we offer.
As a result, we can refine our own products and solutions to match our customers’ needs more closely.
“The scanControl and surfaceControl measurement systems from Micro-Epsilon provide us with very high-resolution 3D point clouds, which are then analysed and stored in the PRODAISI® database. These allow us to track high-precision components. The sensors from Micro-Epsilon are now standard in our testing systems.”

14/02/2020 | PROVITEC and B&R build automation system at the Wilhelm-Maybach Schule
INNOVATIVE PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY FOR TRAINING FACTORY
Industry 4.0 and digitisation for the Wilhelm-Maybach Schule technical college
The high-speed diverter is pivotal. ACOPOStrak is the only advanced, flexible transport system with a high-speed diverter. It enables products to pass from one track circuit to another at full production speed. This opens up entirely new possibilities to make production more flexible. The versatile ACOPOStrak transport system offers complete freedom: arrange track segments to perfectly match your needs. All types of open and closed track circuits can be laid out on a grid.
The shuttles are held in place by permanent magnets and so can be added and removed quickly and easily. With a pit lane in the track layout, changeover and service can be performed highly efficiently with zero downtime. With a diverter, the product flow can be divided, pass through multiple processing stations and then merge further down the line. Cycle times are reduced and productivity increases.
“With the support of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Economics, Labor and Housing, the Wilhelm Maybach School in Heilbronn was able to purchase the ACOPOStrak flexible transport system from the Austrian automation company B&R as a teaching system. The system was built and developed by B&R and Provitec from Neuenstadt am Kocher. Now, student technicians are to further develop the system’s software in the form of technician work.
A great project for our learning factory on the topic of digitalization and Industry 4.0. We are very proud of the convincing functionalities.“
