Heiner Lang (43) will join the Bosch Rexroth Executive Board on August 1, 2019. Within the Management Board, he will assume responsibility for the Development division. Rolf Najork previously held this position.

Modern designs are becoming increasingly complex and must be designed to save space. For many parts of the drivetrain, the only remaining option for integration is blind assembly.

Bonfiglioli has introduced electric drives for modern intralogistics processes. These include idle steering systems from the 601W0E series, which are typically used in the rear of three- and four-wheel counterbalanced forklift trucks.

In addition to the stepper motor, the PSD direct drives from Halstrup-Walcher have all the relevant subsystems for automatic format adjustment integrated.
Mayr will be presenting backlash-free servo clutches for all drive constellations and brake systems for vertical axes at EMO 2019 in Hanover.

Electric stepper motor linear actuators are gaining ground. They can be used to move directly to all desired intermediate positions of the maximum stroke.

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) have long been established in intralogistics. They transport various goods with different weights. The wheel drives and also the drives for lifting devices or load securing equipment must meet special requirements for this.
ABB has integrated position control into the frequency inverter. Fred Donabauer talks to handling editor Annina Schopen about the advantages of this and where the Industry 4.0 journey can still take us.
The Mauerstetten-based mechanical engineering company Mayr Antriebstechnik is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its site in Poland. The former small production facility has now developed into a modern, efficient industrial company with around 400 employees - with active support from the Allgäu region.
