Ball screw drive supports a completely new gearchange strategy for heavy vehicles

When spindle, nut, ball bearings and lubrication work perfectly together. | Flexibility and adaptability as well as reliability and safety are not just the guiding principles of Eichenberger Gewinde AG, they are also the most important demands placed on a component of the new generation of gearchange systems for heavy vehicles: the electromechanical clutch. As a thread-rolling specialist, the main activity of Eichenberger Gewinde AG is the rolling or cold forming of threads and the manufacture of ball screws and lead screws (spindles and nuts). The objective pursued daily by the Swiss company, applying its substantial know-how and the latest production methods, is to support customers in the creation of innovative, bespoke solutions. Nowadays, it is highly important for industry and society to find ways to conserve limited raw materials. Key to this is improved efficiency in the use of resources and energy. But how to aggregate resources and energy, systematize workflows and optimize processes when customer requirements are constantly growing and operating costs are simultaneously being reduced? In many cases, new technologies can provide answers.

Positioning with Maximum Reliability Large Reading Window and Codes Enhance Performance of 2-D System

The PXV 2-D absolute positioning system from Pepperl+Fuchs sets new performance benchmarks when it comes to reliability and handling. With its large reading window, the system keeps a sufficient number of codes in view, even in relation to track switches and changes to the code tape. Precise positioning is guaranteed at all times.

IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH

Robust 3D camera with IP65/67 for harsh ambient conditions

With the X30 FA and X36 FA, the industrial camera manufacturer IDS is launching two more models from its 3D camera system Ensenso X. Both new models are specifically designed for use in harsh ambient conditions. All components fulfill the requirements of the IP65/67 protection class and are therefore effectively protected against dirt, dust, water splashes, or cleaning agents. The 3D camera system combines a powerful projection module with a Gigabit Ethernet switch and two GigE uEye FA cameras with a 1.3 megapixel CMOS sensor that can be mounted at different distances. In addition to the baseline, the vergence angle and focal distance can also be freely selected, thus allowing the solution to be individually tailored to any 3D-vision requirement.
