WITTENSTEIN cyber motor has added two new sizes – 130 and 155 – to its range of frameless motors in the cyber^® kit line medium. They are the perfect addition to the existing size 100 and 112 variants of this family. The new motors are available with both a small and a large hollow shaft and are suitable for various lengths. They are designed for 560 V_DC and can operate safely up to a DC bus voltage of 750 V_DC. In addition...

WITTENSTEIN alpha presents a new feature of the Health Index gearbox analysis tool: the “utilization radar”. This Smart Service analysis tool delivers information about critical operating states in WITTENSTEIN alpha gearboxes with cynapse^® functionality – that is, with integrated temperature and acceleration sensors, a logic and memory unit and an IO-Link data interface. The purpose of the utilization radar is to determine the current total utilization of a gearbox and to ensure it achieves its service life – or to extend this – by comparing the findings with individual limit values. 

Today, industrial robots operate at ever higher speeds, with complex motion profiles and in increasingly confined spaces. Robot cables must not only allow for extremely small bend radii, but also reliably withstand millions of torsional movements. To meet these demanding requirements, igus has developed its proven CFROBOT8.PLUS range of robot cables and is now expanding it to include a new DeviceNet cable for applications involving ±360°/m torsion.

WITTENSTEIN cyber motor goes SERVOsoft^®: technical data for the company’s standard servo drive solutions is now available in the powerful SERVOsoft^® sizing tool. With SERVOsoft^®, users in the plant and mechanical engineering sector can design, size and simulate complete multi-axis servo systems – including all their electrical and mechanical components – for tasks such as design, application, simulation and planning.

The industrial use of machine data is a key lever for greater efficiency, less downtime and more sustainable production. Nevertheless, the introduction of condition monitoring and predictive maintenance often fails in practice due to complex IT structures, high implementation costs and a lack of data transparency.

With the U1KM ultrasonic sensors in miniature design, wenglor is expanding its portfolio with a powerful solution for applications that require long ranges in the smallest installation space. The compact sensors enable reliable object detection of up to three meters and are therefore suitable for a wide range of tasks in logistics, packaging or mechanical engineering.
