With the new software for servo pumps V2+, which is directly integrated in the drive, Baumüller enables greater process reliability and improved process quality, for example in presses and injection molding machines.

Faulhaber has expanded its BXT flat motor series to include gears that are matched to it as well as integrated encoders and speed controllers that are unusually short in the axial direction.

Yaskawa has realized a robotic welding cell for the British hospital equipment supplier Hospital Metalcraft, with which the production capacities for a newly developed pump stand could be increased.

In order to control the temperatures of oscillators and optical systems in laser applications, several cooling and temperature control units are often used. The HRL series devices from SMC control the temperatures with a single system in the smallest of spaces.

In the Smart Factory of pump manufacturer Wilo, driverless transport systems from IBG move pumps or assemblies between manual and automatic workstations.
VibroChecker, the free vibration measurement app, and four vibration isolators from ACE shock absorbers have helped a homeowner to eliminate unpleasant vibrations from an air conditioning unit in a short space of time.

ABB presents the Ability Smart Sensor, a new sensor for low-voltage motors for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. The company has thus expanded the sensor's area of application: customers from the chemical, oil and gas industries can now benefit from cost-effective condition monitoring in numerous application areas.
Thomson Industries, manufacturer of linear actuation solutions, has introduced an electro-hydraulic actuator with the displacement force of hydraulic cylinders, without their complex infrastructure and laborious handling of the pressure medium.

Edwards Vacuum has introduced the ELRi range of liquid ring pumps. Stainless steel components make the pump resistant to corrosion and process gases.
