Special geometric shank geometry achieves high pull-out forces  When joining plastics, light metals or steel together, press-fit screws are often used. Thanks to a new triangular-shaped quick fastening system, with locking threads on a triangular shaft, very high pull-out forces can now be achieved and clamping parts fixed rapidly.Thanks to a new triangular-shaped quick fastening system, with locking threads on a triangular shaft, very high pull-out forces can now be achieved and clamping parts fixed rapidly.  Thanks to a new triangular-shaped quick fastening system, with locking threads on a triangular shaft, very high pull-out forces can now be achieved and...

Those who adapt the fastest win.  In industry and logistics, robots generally handle monotonous tasks that they can repeat almost endlessly with steady precision. A new type of tool changer now turns the specialist for large series into a flexible all-rounder, with which even small series and individual pieces can be produced economically. The innovative TKX changer series from the IPR specialists features a motor from FAULHABER in the electric drive of the automatic changer.  The range of tasks that is being carried out by robots has become limitless. It includes gripping, holding as well as manipulations such as clamping...

A real marvel when it comes to distance  Small housing, big operating range: Thanks to TOF technology, the new ODT3CL1-2M compact diffuse sensor from Leuze achieves an operating range of up to two meters. The 2-in-1 sensor detects the presence of objects and at the same time transmits measurement values.  With the new ODT3CL1-2M laser diffuse sensor, the Sensor People from Leuze are extending the operating range of their 3C series distance sensors. Thanks to innovative time-of-flight (TOF) technology, the switching and measuring sensor with background suppression works with an operating range of up to two meters. This makes the...
