Torsion-resistant precision gearbox
High positioning accuracy and reproducibility thanks to reduced backlash and high torsional rigidity coupled with the possibility of individual optimization for special installation situations - these are the demands placed on the planetary and angular gearboxes in 6-axis free-form bending machines.

Heavy and bulky goods require robust transport solutions: The Mega-Pack line from Walther Faltsysteme offers a lightweight and safe alternative to conventional metal mesh boxes.

Siemens is planning to acquire edge technology from Pixeom. The aim is to expand the industrial edge offering with software components for edge runtime and device management.
With PA-infosys, IEF-Werner has developed an intelligent unit for data monitoring and communication for machines and components. With this intelligence, a timing belt axis monitors its own condition and performance and can analyze its own wear, among other things.

Precise cutting tasks can be carried out with Robocut wire EDM machines from Fanuc. The smaller Robocut α-C400iB is automated with a collaborative robot from Fanuc's CR series.
Thomson, manufacturer of mechanical drive solutions, is launching a revised redimount option: a pre-assembled, modular mounting kit for efficient motor or gearbox assembly in less than five minutes.
Precise positioning. To optimize robot movements, Mesh equipped a robot transfer system in the medium load capacity range with a roller pinion rack system from Nexen.
Electronics housing for the mounting rail
The requirements for future-oriented automation devices are diverse. Today, device manufacturers are looking for highly flexible and multifunctional enclosure systems. A new system therefore offers graduated sizes, extended connection technology and optional bus connectors.

Flexco's segmented transition plates are smooth components that prevent cases or packages from jamming at transition points on conveyor systems. This prevents damage and operators benefit from less downtime.
