The drive in the Roto-Tower 800 enables a significantly more flexible, efficient and economical rotational molding process than previously established methods.

Parker Hannifin has added a fully programmable drive to its Parker Servo Drive (PSD) series. This enables an even wider range of applications.
Simulation before commissioning
Reprogramming or even mechanical modifications to a system during commissioning can be avoided if commissioning is tested in advance on a digital twin. What's more, if the digital twin of the virtual system is made up of individual assemblies, the designer can try out different variants in advance.

HMS Networks presents the 2nd generation of Anybus Communicator protocol converters. The device connects serial field devices and machines with industrial networks.
Industrial Ethernet plays a key role in process automation. End-to-end solutions for IP communication from the control room to field level are already available today, including hazardous areas in the process industry.

Power consumption and clean energy are also important in industrial lifting technology. Gefran's vector-controlled frequency inverters for hoists and cranes offer various functions that enable high energy savings.
The development of cobots into a commodity product is closely linked to the issue of safety in robotics - a challenge that needs to be mastered efficiently.
What is needed for digital transformation? In addition to a deep understanding of the possibilities and limitations of technologies, one thing above all: access to data. Digital connectivity is a decisive factor for the success of digitalization strategies.

Italian manufacturer Gefran has launched a new sensor technology on the market. Thanks to its magnetostrictive sensor, Hyperwave is designed to detect positions continuously and wear-free.
