Realise individual automation applications with the drygear Apiro modular gearbox system in an extremely modular and cost-effective way.
Typical application areas include aisle adjustment, pusher tasks, gearboxes with different transmissions as well as rotary tables and axes.

Lubrication-free plastic bearings in innovative weaving machine

The UniShed2 machine from Gitec GmbH works without an electromechanical harness and instead uses vibrating axes that are supported in plain bearings from igus. For this purpose, bearings made from the high-performance polymer iglidur J3 are employed. They significantly improved the service life. Their freedom from lubrication ensures that no maintenance is required and no dust or dirt from the environment sticks to the bearing points.

Energy supply systems in flat knitting machines ensure quality and flexibility

Stoll relies on 27i-series e-chains in its knitting machines. They have to fulfil high requirements: in combination with strong accelerations (10m/s² in the normal range, up to 20m/s² for quick stops) and the sometimes poor ambient conditions, such as extreme heat and oily air, the internal copper cables and hoses must not break.
