IEN Europe interviewed Marco Calabrese, the Managing Director of Lika Electronic, about customization and trends in encoder development.
Never change a running system – a wise saying in the IT world that is also followed by other disciplines. Nevertheless, it is often worthwhile to challenge existing concepts, as shown by the example of power electronics. Suitably dimensioned thermal management solutions can significantly improve the performance and life of electronic components, together with increased cost-effectiveness.
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.

The 6th Lightweighting Summit under the patronage of Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) will be held on April 1, 2025, as part of HANNOVER MESSE. It will offer companies, scientists, and experts from all sectors the opportunity to find out about the latest developments in lightweight construction, as well as discussing future-oriented technologies.
We spoke with Marco Zampolli, IoT Automation product Sales Director from Advantech about trends in modern factory automation concepts.
An IEN Europe interview with Jan Hartmann - Managing Partner IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH
Safe and arc-free switching with a long service life
International Federation of Robotics reports on trends in the industry
Industrial cameras with Sony's Starvis 2 sensors help unlock the potential of planetary imaging
For high-precision and high-speed measurement of complex waveforms.
Components for the electric safety and energy efficiency of industrial equipment
Making tried-and-tested machines IIot-ready
High interpolation allows impressive accuracy
Incremental & absolute measurement for different requirements
For lightweight robots, modular designs are increasingly popular thanks to the flexible deployment they enable for specialised tasks. Modular robots also enhancing the potential for system integrators and end users to develop their own designs. As part of an in-house robot build, optimising the drive train that powers and controls each joint is vital to the robot’s performance. The most effective way of achieving this is by developing the drive train as a complete module. This approach can also improve the efficiency of robot development overall.
Compact, flat, and lightweight models with high resolution and fine accuracy
5th Lightweighting Summit: Lightweight construction as a transformation technology for the resource turnaround
This is how the BLDC drives of the BMU Series excel
From treatment of narrowed arteries to circulatory support, miniature motors are at the heart of medical devices used to treat cardiovascular disease. When selecting motor solutions for such applications, compact size and precision control are key factors.
Tsubaki Kabelschlepp will be presenting its comprehensive cable carrier portfolio at SPS 2023. Among the exhibits is the popular UNIFLEX Advanced 1775 (UA1775) cable carrier.
Maximum sensibility, accuracy, spatial resolution and speed
WISE-EdgeLink and Analog, digital or relay I/O
Electron was retrofitting a grinding machine to turn it into an accurate grinder by installing servo systems instead of hydraulics. The company turned to Apex Dynamics and its range of precision planetary gearboxes.
