While automating processes using robots is a reliable way to increase production throughput and productivity, the savings in floorspace can vary depending on the type of robot chosen. Where space is at a premium, a ceiling-mounted orbital robot can offer a suitable solution.
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.
Liquid-cooled heat sinks are used in applications where passive or fan-based cooling solutions are insufficient, but effective cooling is indispensable. However, there are major differences between liquid-cooled heat sinks. The optimal production process for the particular application depends on various factors, such as the desired material and coolant, the specified cooling capacity, and the required number of heat sinks.
The grand opening, which took place on the 23rd of April, reinforces the commitment to support European innovation while expanding the presence in Western Europe.
