Schaeffler at the Hanover Fair
Among other things, Schaeffler will be presenting its new food program in Hanover. The company sees "sustainable engineering" as a lever for saving energy and raw materials.
The RoboGrind research project aims to use an AI-based, flexible automation solution for robot-assisted surface processing to make the remanufacturing of worn components competitive with new production.

Neff Gewindetriebe solves mechanical problems for customers in the mechanical and plant engineering sector. The company has even supplied screw jacks for a research station in the Antarctic. Here, the technology has to withstand outside temperatures as low as -80 °C. Due to the extreme cold, there was only a short time window for assembly, and therefore also for engineering and logistics. As a partner for electromechanical drive technology, SEW-Eurodrive supplied reliable geared motors.

Annual investment in energy technology systems will more than double in the future, from EUR 762 billion globally in 2020 to EUR 1,808 billion in 2040.
The seventh axis not only makes robots in many production plants more agile, but also increases their reach. To prevent accidents from ruining this increase in productivity, Expert-Tünkers has been working with ACE shock absorber components for years to protect the end positions.

The Schaeffler Group achieved an excellent result in 2021. The Industrial division was particularly successful. The war in Ukraine makes forecasts for 2022 impossible.

Nabtesco is investing in a third production site, doubling its production capacity to two million precision gearboxes per year by 2026.

Franke slewing rings with integrated direct drive (torque motor) are characterized by high dynamics, energy efficiency and a compact installation space with large central clearance.

The generation of renewable energy should make an important contribution to limiting climate change. However, it is not enough to focus solely on the production of "green electricity". In this segment, too, it is important to use resources sparingly and promote sustainability.

"The machine tool industry has a good chance of having a successful year in 2022,"said Franz-Xaver Bernhard, Chairman of the VDW (German Machine Tool Builders' Association) at the association's annual press conference in Frankfurt am Main.
