BODINE ELECTRIC AT AUTOMATE 2024

Terry Auchstetter — Tue, 14 May 2024 17:19:36 +0000

Bodine Electric Company exhibited at the AUTOMATE 2024 trade show at McCormick Place in Chicago from Monday, May 6 through Thursday, May 9, 2024. A team of eight people from Bodine’s sales and marketing departments took turns greeting visitors to our booth number 2180 during the four days.

AUTOMATE is the largest robotics and automation trade show in North America. Robots were definitely the stars of the show, but other products included conveyors, gearmotors like Bodine’s, and other components like encoders and connectors. The Association for Advancing Automation (A3) – the host of the event – expected the 2024 show in Chicago to be 25% larger than the previous record-setting show in Detroit in 2023.

Bodine Electric displayed our newest products at the AUTOMATE show. Shown above are our new type “56R” stainless steel gearmotor, our type “34B” explosion-proof gearmotor (which is currently in a competition to be “The Coolest Thing Made in Iowa“), our type “33A” 12 volt DC parallel shaft gearmotor, our type “22B” brushless DC planetary gearmotor (with encoder mounted), our new type “42B” brushless DC hypoid right angle gearmotor with hollow output shaft, and our type “42R” offset parallel shaft gearmotor with hollow output shaft (with matching shaft kit). One “product” we gave away to visitors was a rubber coffee mug coaster that said, “My design starts with Coffee and ends with Bodine.”

The AUTOMATE show was a great opportunity for Bodine Electric to interact face-to-face with customers, prospects, suppliers, and media partners. One of those media partners, WTWH Media, invited us to their happy hour at The Chicago Firehouse Restaurant after the first day of the show.

Thank you to everyone who visited Bodine Electric at AUTOMATE 2024!

Cannabis Industry to Reign Supreme in 2020

Sarah Prais — Thu, 02 Jan 2020 18:41:02 +0000

We visited MJBizCon in Las Vegas in December 2019 — a premier trade show for Cannabis Industry related products and services (Marijuana Business Daily put on this trade show event). We saw a lot of innovative automation equipment that is used in the Marijuana Business for cultivating, trimming, extracting, packaging, and processing the various products. Several of the machines had Bodine gearmotors in them. Below photos show you just a few application examples. Shout-outs to many of our current and future customers in this exciting and growing industry! #mjbizcon2019 #gearmotor #BodineElectricCompany #gearedmotors #cbd

Fun times at the MJBizCon 2019.

Always fun to visit PackExpo and to see new gearmotor applications:

Conveyors are exhibited in all sizes and shapes. Some are powered by parallel shaft gearmotors, others are powered by right-angle or hollow shaft gearmotors. Both AC and PMDC variable speed and fixed speed…

AC Inverters = VFDs = Variable Speed Drives…

And our friends at Dorner – always a great presence at PackExpo.

Carton sealers, powered by Bodine Electric gearmotors…

Shout out to FESTO for best display!

More Bodine variable speed PMDC gearmotors in action.

Warehouse automation, AGVs, co-bots trending very high…

Halloween Warning Label…

Giant right-angle, hollow shaft gearmotor. You can fit about ten Bodine gearmotors into this one.

Great booth design. Shout out to DOMINO!

Bodine 42A-5H/Hollow shaft gearmotor…
