Work with a Global Leader in Plastic Moulding
Combating climate change is a serious challenge, with a nearly overwhelming array of issues to overcome. Sustainability-minded people do their best to lessen their personal carbon footprint by using public transportation, driving an EV, cutting back on energy usage, etc. But the biggest culprit in carbon emissions is actually industry, representing an estimated 23% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S as the U.S. Environmential Protection Agency published.
Alessandro Gomarasca, Product Development Manager at Servotecnica, discussed with our editorial team a distribution agreement that promises to integrate skills and technologies, opening new horizons in the European market.
The newly developed D-Ankle prosthesis from Design Pro Technology makes this possible. Instead of the usual passive suspension at the foot components, the prosthesis assists its user by means of motor power. As is the case with a natural gait, the artificial foot is actively bent up and down with each step. The gait becomes more harmonious, more stable and less tiring. An intelligent controller finds the correct gait rhythm and a brushless motor from FAULHABER provides the necessary propulsion.

On October 9, 2024, a safety symposium was held in Birmingham to commemorate this achievement, honouring Sella Controls' journey from its modest beginnings in Whaley Bridge to its status as a leader in safety and control systems, now part of the HIMA Group.
Making tried-and-tested machines IIot-ready
Studying neutrinos is very difficult as they typically pass through most normal matter unimpeded and undetected. Specialist detectors have to be built to hunt for them. The latest one is called JUNO, located 750m below ground in Jiangmen, China. The project is made possible by 17 different countries with 730 scientists working in 74 Universities and national laboratories. To develop the core part of the detector, the liquid scintillator, ultrafast digitizer cards by Spectrum Instrumentation are used.
The transformation to e-mobility requires powerful automation technology. The companies in the Pepperl+Fuchs Group are offering the right solutions—based on constant technological innovation and decades of experience in the automotive industry.

This strategic collaboration promises to extend beyond manufacturing, with the potential to impact on a wide range of industries.
When testing wheelchairs, manufacturers play it safe for understandable reasons. That is why three aspiring mechanical engineers took no risks when they developed a drop test construction for wheelchairs on behalf of the renowned German company MEYRA. They relied on miniature shock absorbers made by ACE to protect the inner life of their construction.
It is not a revelation to anyone in the industry that energy is the largest operating expense, accounting for the majority of utility costs. In manufacturing processes using compressed air, air compressors consume approximately 12% of the total electrical energy, and over the lifespan of an air compressor, 80% of the cost is energy use, and 20% is the cost of the unit including maintenance. Energy...
Smaller manufacturers are the fastest-growing area of industrial robotics today, driven by the need for new collaborative robotics systems.
Bio-cable with reduced carbon footprint now in series production
Christoper Haase succeeds Gustav Erl, who will retire soon
Today, every large event includes an elaborate laser show. Laser projections are used at trade fairs, in advertising, art, and at architectural events. The magically glowing light patterns are made possible by highly complex technology, and at many of the most spectacular installations this technology is provided by Berlinbased LaserAnimation Sollinger. When it comes to the alignment of beams and the creation of effects, motors from FAULHABER play an important role for their laser projectors.
LEWA, a manufacturer of metering pumps and systems, relies on IE5+ motors from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS for high precision applications. They combine a wide control range with outstanding energy efficiency.
Grasping and plugging cables is child's play! For us humans, yes. However, automated processing of such flexible parts presents robots with considerable challenges. Nevertheless, the potential is huge; in terms of efficiency and quality as well as in terms of relieving employees, for instance when it comes to handling large, heavy cables.
With the rapid advancements in technology, there is increasing consumer demand for innovative, smart, and connected products that need to get to market more quickly, cost effectively and sustainably.
