In industrial applications, a stable and reliable power supply is crucial to the availability of entire systems.
Three different software collections tailored to start-up budgets that support company growth
Faster deployment, improved throughput and new levels of collaboration have been reported by customers
12, 48, and 72 V output models for a broad range of applications
A report analysing a decade of data for over 1,000 large motors and generators delivered globally by ABB’s Västerås facility in Sweden shows that not aiming for the highest efficiency could be costing global operators up to $12 billion over a 25-year asset life. To mark the release of the report, we spoke with Gunnar Porsby, R&D Manager, High-Speed Synchronous Machines, ABB and David Bjerhag, Global Business Line Manager, High Speed Synchronous Motors, Generators and Condensers within ABB Motion’s High Power division.
Conventional condition-monitoring systems detect bearing damage only after wear such as pitting or material loss has already occurred. HCP Sense takes a decisive step further: instead of monitoring the consequences of damage, the technology identifies its root causes at a very early stage. By directly detecting critical lubrication conditions before physical damage occurs, premature bearing failures can be actively prevented.
Accurate measurements with various sensitivity levels and high temperatures up to 220 °C
PAUL RAUSCHERT STEINBACH GMBH has implemented Mitsubishi Electric's GENESIS energy management platform, transforming monthly compilation of 20-page spreadsheets into real-time energy insights and reducing peak consumption analysis from hours to minutes.
Demonstrators from the Motion Control, Feeding and Handling sectors showcase components and systems for a wide range of applications from May 26 to 28.

The industrial group receives this coveted innovation prize in recognition of its platform for highly integrated actuators. An independent jury chaired by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Holger Hanselka, President of the Fraunhofer Society, selected the winner from among three nominated companies. The award was presented by Dorothee Bär, Federal Minister for Research, Technology and Space, during the official opening of HANNOVER MESSE on April 19, 2026, in the presence of Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

High machine availability is enabled by the integrated IO-Link interface, which provides access to sensor parameters, diagnostics and process data.
An independent jury comprising top-class experts from political and business communities, research, and the media, chaired by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Holger Hanselka, President of the Fraunhofer Society, has nominated three companies selected from the numerous submissions for the HERMES AWARD. The winner will be announced at the official opening ceremony of HANNOVER MESSE on April 19, 2026. The Federal Minister of Research, Technology and Space, Dorothee Bär, will present the award.
High-performance thermal management for high-airflow electrical cabinets
For accurate guidance of pistons and rods, while preventing metal-to-metal contact
How an easy-to-use sensor module can bring flow intelligence to consumer and industrial equipment
For reduced noise and increased control efficiency regardless of motor type
Exclusive software partnership for optimized motor sizing
Confocal stainless-steel sensor for temperatures up to 200 °C and use in vacuum
Früchte Jork GmbH from Baden-Württemberg, Germany – a family-run fresh food wholesaler – has reached an important milestone: Its new, fully automated deep-freeze warehouse is in operation. What may look like ‘just’ another high-bay warehouse to outsiders is a quantum leap for the company: faster order picking, optimized processes and significantly improved working conditions for employees. The project was implemented by the intralogistics experts at Klinkhammer Intralogistics GmbH.
Electronics exposed to radiation can be prone to failure. Satellites and medical devices such as CT scanners are especially sensitive. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS in Dresden are working on an open-source tool that can be used to better prevent radiation-related loss of function.
Agricultural autonomy isn’t just about removing the driver; it’s about creating intelligent machines capable of locating themselves, interpreting their surroundings, and acting in real-time, even under challenging conditions.
Industrial single- and three-phase supplies with high energy efficiency
The HARTING Technology Group has generated sales of approximately 1.1 billion euros in the past financial year 2024/25, that ended on 30 September 2025. Adjusted for currency effects, this represents an increase of almost 17 % over the previous year
At the first Linde Automation Summit, which took place in Aschaffenburg, on 12 and 13 November, the company and its partners shared insights on the transformation of the intralogistics sector with pan-European customers, consultants, & trade press
Beyond the data-driven efficiencies of Industry 4.0, a new paradigm is emerging for manufacturers across every industry: Industry 5.0. This next evolution emphasizes a human-centric, resilient, and sustainable approach, calling for a more symbiotic relationship between human workers and intelligent machines.
When it comes to the world of motion control, it’s easy to take your feedback device for granted. After all, it’s a small part of the system and is typically tucked inside the motor housing, out of sight and out of mind. However, the impact this seemingly minor component has on a system’s accuracy, performance, reliability, and ease of integration is hard to overstate.
The AX-1 robot from Norwegian start-up Kilter applies herbicides to weeds with such precision that the use of chemicals is reduced by up to 95% thanks to AI and sensor technology. To ensure that the autonomous helper is also gentle on the soil, the developers rely on lightweight and lubricationfree linear technology from the igus drylin series.
For decentralised communication in the IO-Link Safety System
