WITTENSTEIN’s miniaturized Galaxie^® gearbox is a newly developed, high precision gearbox with axial power transmission. Compared to strain wave gearboxes with the same footprint, it convinces with much better torsional rigidity, significantly higher torque density, double the emergency stop torque and an almost 50% larger hollow shaft diameter, depending on the size.

Maximum safety in battery production: first certified energy chain for the dry cleanroom

Test passed with the best possible result: E6.29 from igus receives innovative dry cleanroom certificate from Fraunhofer IPA for ISO Class 4

Whenever the highest hygiene standards are required, igus scores high with lubrication-free and abrasion-resistant plastic components for movement. In particular, battery production for tomorrow's mobility requires special environmental conditions, which are achieved through the combination of dry rooms and cleanrooms.

In modern plants, safety is an essential requirement. This includes the ability to lock and start machines safely, restrict access to certain areas and select the operating mode.

Secure screwing rather than crimping

Crimping can be quite tricky sometimes. An alternative to a crimp contact is the new EPIC^® ASC axial screw contact from LAPP. It enables more reliable assembly using a cost-effective tool.

World's first cable for hanging applications suitable for SEW-EURODRIVE

igus chainflex CFSPECIAL.192 hybrid cable for hanging travels of up to 50 metres. Machines have to work reliably around the clock in such areas as material handling. Warehouses are getting bigger, and increasing mast heights mean high demands on the cables.

ABB, a leader in power and productivity, has unveiled its latest solutions to improve electromagnetic compatibility

A topic that is more important than ever before. The amount of electrical and electronic components in the control equipment of machines is continuously increasing while, at the same time, the available space is becoming less and less.

NTP planetary gearbox: Torsional backlash minimized, absorption of external forces improved

WITTENSTEIN alpha GmbH has now unveiled the NTP – the newest planetary gearbox in the alpha Value Line.

Ilme’s SQUICH® connectors for 10,000 mating cycles

Machine interfaces and system components that are connected and disconnected several times a day require high-performance connectors, as frequent mating cycles are the norm.

wenglor group Presents New Laser Distance Sensors Triangulation

This is CMOS power reimagined: The innovative triangulation laser distance sensors
from the P3 series provide precise measurement results at distances of up to 1,000 mm –  accurate to a few microns. It’s not just the high accuracy that’s world-class, but also the intuitive operation concept, the high-quality aluminum housing and the built-in TripleA technology that gives the P3 series the status of gamechanger for triangulation sensors in industrial automation. A look inside the extensive 32 sensor series reveals why.

Safety engineering specialist Euchner has modernized the lighting system for its two-storey logistics building in Leinfelden near Stuttgart.

Euchner’s corporate philosophy covers everything from protecting the environment and handling natural resources with consideration to reducing energy consumption and using low-pollutant materials. This enabled the company to cut energy consumption by nearly half and save 10.2 metric tons of CO₂.
