This is what everyone interested in new technologies in industry is waiting for. The list of exhibitors is one thing, but curiosity about what leading companies will show at their stands accompanies visitors until the opening of the trade fair halls.

This year, you need to reserve enough time to visit the exhibition of the industrial fair block. As much as it takes to get acquainted with the offer gathered in as many as ten MTP Poznan Expo halls. The next edition (June 4-7, 2024) will be even more interactive, full of special shows, working machines and robots.

This year, the organizer is implementing the idea of a special Zone with new technologies in the field of process optimisation in industry. It is here, surrounded by innovative equipment, that visitors will be able to check how to increase your operational efficiency, improve the quality and precision of individual processes and evaluate solutions in the field of automation, robotics, pneumatics and system integration. In this space, visitors will also see collaborative robots from various manufacturers. Such modern solutions for the factories of the future will also be present on the largest Tech Stage in Poland, which we are preparing together with DBR77. Speaking of shows, I encourage you to familiarise yourself with the offer presented at the Surface Treatment Exhibition. Nearly forty key companies in this sector have already confirmed their participation. Of course, people come to the ITM fair to see the machine halls, so we are even more pleased that so many exhibitors have declared their participation in this edition. The exhibition will be accompanied by a programe based on expert presentations taking into account the direction of changes in which modern industry is heading – announces Anna Lemanska-Kramer, director of the “ITM Industry Europe” fair.

The upcoming edition is also a special moment of implementation of a new project, the “ITM Industry Europe 2024” Fair Ambassador. It is the undisputed industry leader who, through its activities, promotes the idea of the trade fair in order to increase their recognition and popularity. Through its activity, it encourages partners and customers to learn more about this event. This year, the title of Ambassador was awarded to the following companies: GF Machining Solutions and Eagle Lasers. – We hope that this new concept will be warmly welcomed by both exhibitors and visitors, and that the group of Ambassadors will gradually expand – adds Anna Lemanska-Kramer.

New products from Trumpf Polska

The “ITM Industry Europe” fair could not do without one of the undisputed leaders of the industrial sector – Trumpf Polska. As the crew announces, they are looking forward to the next edition of this event – to hear about the latest trends in the metal industry, such as: solutions in the field of automation of production processes – a panacea for the shortage of qualified staff, as well as increasing the profitability of production, or the possibilities of using AI in the industry – technology that is taking the 21st century by storm. Digitisation in industry is gaining momentum, Trumpf Polska notices this trend and follows it. This year, the exhibitor will present mainly laser machines during the fair: an extremely efficient “TruLaser 5030” 2D fibre cutter with a 24kW resonator, “TruMark Station 7000” 3D laser marking station, “TruLaser Station 7000” laser welding station, in which a green light beam laser is used for the first time. “TLS” is designed for high-quality copper welding with minimal spatter. At the Trumpf Polska stand visitors will also be able to see the ergonomic “TruBend 7050” brake press. There will also be solutions for effective factory management: SmartFactory for everyone or Oseon software enabling production networking and connecting all machines in the factory (including those from other manufacturers).

Breakthrough technologies at the Amada stand

During this year’s edition of the “ITM Industry Europe” fair, Amada will present the latest Amada laser cutting machine – “Ventis AJe” with a 6kW fiber resonator. The device allows you to obtain a very high beam quality, which is necessary to obtain the best cutting results. The Ventis AJe 6kW laser cutting machine uses Amada’s groundbreaking “Locus Beam Control” (LBC) technology to provide a flexible solution that is tailored to any laser cutting need. The new cutter with the Amada resonator with a single diode module was designed for high speed and efficiency of the cutting process. “LBC” technology allows the laser beam to move in predetermined patterns regardless of the movement of the laser cutting head, ensuring optimal material removal. This technology can also be used to cut small round holes without moving the laser cutting head, allowing for much faster processing. During tests – cutting 100 holes with a diameter of 1.5mm – time savings of 70% were achieved.

An undoubted advantage is the modular design of Amada’s automation solutions. Both autonomous processes – such as monitoring the protective glass, lens, shape and technical condition of the nozzle, centricity of the laser beam – and automatic resumption of processing after a head collision are performed without operator participation ensuring reliable operation of the machine. Among the new features and functionalities of the “Ventis AJe” 6kW cutter, it is also worth paying attention to the new AMNC 4ie control system. It is designed for easier machine operation and faster processing thanks to a more powerful processor. Thanks to reduced energy consumption and small size, the “Ventis-AJe” 6kW laser cutting machine is an ideal machine to increase production.
