Festival of new solutions or the fair of tomorrow's technologies
ITM Poland exhibitors will display several hundreds of new products. Exhibition stands displaying registered new solutions will be specially marked.
The West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin will showcase a European and world class innovation - new control system for CNC machine tools. O.C.E.A.N. system is an introduction to research on an intelligent machine tool prototype. As research tasks proceeded, many innovative technologies have been developed, some of the most important ones being the cutting-edge method of linear motor installation, which compensates for loads occurring on guide carriages of a machine tool, during movement along individual axes. The project attracted the attention of leading manufacturers of machine tools, technological machinery and processing tools. During ITM Poland, representatives of Szczecin University will hold talks with representatives of sectors interested in this solution.
AGIE Charmilles will exhibit the fastest wire-cut machine, namely the FI 440CCS model (offering speeds up to 500mm2/min). The device features the world's only anti-collision system protecting machine geometry against damage throughout its entire life cycle.
Numerous compelling solutions will be demonstrated by the Faculty of Robotics and Mechatronics of the AGH University of Science and Technology, cooperating with UNIHUT company. One of them will be a flying robot - an unmanned aircraft resembling a helicopter with an automatic pilot functionality, being capable of an independent take-off and landing, and covering a pre-programmed route based on an on-board GPS navigation system. The robot is equipped with a video facility - a wireless, self-stabilising gyro-platform, which can be controlled manually (using a joystick or a pocket PC device), as well as automatically - via head movements of a person wearing virtual goggles.
Another innovation displayed at the fair will be the IMMVein terminal enabling personal identification based on the IR analysis of palm vein pattern, which is unique for every human being. IMMVein may be successfully applied as an identity authentication method, e.g. in access control systems. The terminal was designed in the Institute of Mathematical Machines.
Young Digital Planet and scientists from the Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics of the Gdańsk University of Technology will showcase a broad range of solutions from the "eduSensus" line. One of them is a "Mouth Mouse" - a device intended for paralysed persons who cannot operate a computer keyboard or mouse with their hands, but are able to move their lips. The solution employs a typical webcam that analyses user's head image and follows mouth movements. The interface responds to opening the mouth, protruding the tongue or pursing the lips. These three simple gestures may be configured in accordance with user's needs, i.e. correlated to any mouse functionalities, thus enabling a touch-free method of controlling the cursor. Also demonstrated at the show, yet another alternative method of computer control is the EyeTracker, dependent on eyeball movement. The "Intelligent Pen", in turn, can examine and train children's motion memory, which can be of significant importance for the diagnosis and treatment of dyslexia and co-occurring disorders: dysgraphia and dysorthographia.
The University of Warsaw, in cooperation with Creotech, will showcase such products as the most sensitive CCD camera currently available on the market, as well as a controller designed to manage the sanitary system of a swimming pool and facilitate the control of key physical and chemical parameters at the pool.
ITM Poland will see the presentation of an innovative bullet-proof vest for police forces with a quick-release system allowing to take the vest off in no time. This product has been developed by "MORATEX" Institute of Security Technology. Metal Forming Institute will promote a machine for the production of traffic signs, employing the innovative technology of double-bent metal sheet edges.
At the stand of Institute for Sustainable Technologies - National Research Institute, visitors will see such products as an optical inspection system - one of three systems implemented at the technological line of FŁT Kraśnik company. There will also be a presentation of tribology instruments that enjoy excellent reputation and high demand among both Polish and foreign entrepreneurs, as well as research and development institutions from the US, Mexico, Germany, Israel, Russia, and other countries.
Another product that will undoubtedly arouse visitor's interest is the Smartwasher manufactured by AMS Rozone GmbH. This parts cleaner uses water-soluble cleaning fluid instead of toxic solvents. Unlike solvents, the fluid is non-toxic, non-flammable, anti-allergic, and it does not cause cancer or other diseases. The cleaner uses living bacteria to convert the oil and grease washed off the parts into CO2 and H2O. Smartwasher is a closed system. The fluid does not need changing or releasing. Cleaning agent consumption is five times lower compared with solvents. Moreover, no toxic gas, waste or wastewater is emitted.
