David Messant from Norelem explains how the costs of machine maintenance can be reduced.

The new XP+ High Torquegearbox from Wittenstein alpha is specially designed for high-performance drive axes, for example in automated handling technology.

Hartmut Hoffmann, who has managed the business of RK Rose+Krieger since 2008, is retiring on June 30. His successor from July 1 will be Dr. Gregor Langer.

Linear conveyor modules are an alternative to rotary indexing tables for certain assembly tasks.

Innovace 2021 student competition
ACE Shock Absorbers is once again organizing the Innovace competition this year.

Specially developed for the European market, Dorner offers the new 2200 XL series for a wide range of applications.

Expert-Tünkers offers a fast and precise solution for extending robots with additional traversing axes, the so-called 7th axis.

Manufacturer Norelem has launched a new system of lifting columns onto the market.
The factory of the future will be more intelligent, more flexible, more networked and more software-based than it is today. The new mechatronic platform from Bosch Rexroth combines linear technology components with electronics and software.

One of the communication interfaces that is increasingly being used in modern factories is IO-Link, a protocol that is already widely used in sensor and similar technologies.
Companies in the packaging sector are increasingly relying on automation. This is where the electromechanical solutions from Ewellix can bring benefits.

The BSHP ball rail guides and BASA ball screw drives from Bosch Rexroth now achieve up to four times longer lubrication intervals.

Linear unit with ball screw drive from Item
The new KGT 6 60 linear unit from Item is characterized by precision, positioning accuracy, high propulsion force, safety, flexibility and a stroke of up to 2,600 mm.

Linear guides in industrial automation and heavy-duty applications are often exposed to high mechanical loads and must meet high requirements in terms of robustness, durability, dynamics and performance.

Chain drives ensure positive power transmission and constant transmission ratios. The systems mainly use roller chains, which are available from Norelem in a wide range of designs.

Production logistics with Karakuri bridge
Toyota Peugeot Citroën Automobile (TPCA) in Kolín, Czech Republic, relies on the concept of Low Cost Automation (LCA). In production, air conditioning systems for small cars are transported via a Karakuri bridge from Item.

A new miniature linear guideway is available from Rodriguez, which is characterized by low friction and low-noise running with low maintenance requirements. The compact BM series linear guideway complements Rodriguez's portfolio of miniature components.
