Whether for carpenters, furniture makers, wood traders or other representatives of the woodworking industry: with the "Wood" version of its VacuMaster, Schmalz has designed a specialist for the lifting requirements of the woodworking industry.

Components for the automation industry are required to remain compact and small, but along with the size, the connectors have to be resistant to vibrations and maintain their seal to withstand rugged environments.

Man, machine – or both? Humanoid robots are no longer science fiction, they are reality. igus has been researching humanoid robotics for some time and has now presented a prototype of the motion plastics bot: a humanoid robot that combines the advantages of high-performance plastics and Low Cost Automation. The robotics components are available from Treotham Automation.

Whether mountain bikes for outdoor use, record-breaking light racing bikes or ultra-robust e-cargo bikes: Treotham presents new igus components made of high-performance plastic as an alternative to metal solutions for the bikes of the future – including light and lubricant-free polymer plain bearings for mountain bikes, wear-resistant gears for e-bike motors and robust rod ends for e-cargo bikes.

When Wittenstein developed the Galaxie, they subjected drive concepts to a fundamental reassessment. The result: a brand new type of backlash-free gear unit. The innovative drive system has not only proved itself to be “superior on principle” in numerous industrial applications, frequently making the impossible possible – it has also received scientific acclaim as an independent gearbox generation.
