Hygienic dispensing machines

Andrej Schmidt | 9. April 2020

Wherever there is food contact, cleaning must be frequent and intensive. It is the same in the food processing industry and it is also the same in the manufacture of vending machines. There are strict rules for this, resulting from the regulations of the European Parliament.

Ball bearings or plain bearings in AGVs: That is the question.

Christian Strauch | 8. April 2020

Flawless transport systems are conquering more and more areas of industry – intralogistics in particular. These small and large automatic guided vehicles, or AGVs, have one thing in common: they must function reliably 24 hour a day, seven days a week – ideally for a long period of time. Periodic maintenance is not desirable. That […]

Selecting the correct mounting bracket

mkogelmann | 7. April 2020

Almost all mounting brackets are available in two variants. The first pivots, the second is fixed. At this point, many design engineers wonder when they should use the pivoting and when the fixed version. Pivoting mounting brackets are standard for gliding or horizontally unsupported applications But why is that? The pivoting mounting bracket compensates for […]

How to make energy supply systems ready to plug and play

Markus Hueffel | 7. April 2020

How can energy supply systems be made ready to plug and play? The more complex the system, the more extensive the functions of the machine, and the more effort and cost often associated with the energy chain. For this reason, complex systems often require many plug-in points that must be produced and coded according to polarisation – the ideal solution is the Module Connect adapter.

What does relative motion in a chain mean?

Volker Beissel | 7. April 2020

Discussions of strain relief frequently include references to relative motion. Consideration of this motion is the basis for optimum strain relief. If a cable is on the energy supply’s neutral axis, the cable length is the indicated chain length. However, there is often one cable in the inner radius and one in the outer radius […]
