As is the case with any type of infrastructure, sewers require regular maintenance. But the often narrow pipes below the ground are difficult to access. Instead of unearthing them at great expense, users of trenchless renovation procedures use specialized robots that carry out the work in the interior of the pipelines. Pipetronics is a market and technology leader when it comes to the development and manufacture of sewer robotics. Markus Lämmerhirt, a member of the management board, talks about the highly specialized industry.

On the occasion of the company's 75th anniversary, FAULHABER received a special honor by the municipality of Schönaich: From November 1, the street leading to the company site will be called Faulhaberstraße and the company building will bear the house number 1.

With the all-new Linear Actuator L product family, FAULHABER is offering a unique turn-key-solution for a broad range of applications. The smaller versions 06L/08L/10L are ideal for medical, lab automation, optics & photonics or space applications. The larger versions 22L/32L using the latest GPT gear technology, are designed for applications in the industrial automation and also optics & photonics.

The FAULHABER Drive Calculator is the perfect tool for developers to find a suitable drive system for a specific application in record time. It is easy to use and functional: the modern, clear user interface was designed with optimal usability in mind, and helpful tool tips provide valuable detailed information.

The task has galactic dimensions: Over the next five years, SDSS V plans to observe four million stars and 300,000 black holes, analyze spectra and material composition, reconstruct cosmic development histories and verify physical models of the birth of the galaxy.

With the exoskeleton "Autonomyo”, this dream can now be made a reality. The active walking aid supports the weakened muscles and enables an intuitive sequence of movements that mimics the natural sequence. The additional power is supplied by six micromotors. To facilitate a harmonious interaction between the exoskeleton and its user, FAULHABER developed an innovative all-in-one component motor with a torque sensor.

How can the earth feed nine or ten billion people? "Smart farming" is an important part of the answer to this existential question: Extremely high efficiency in food production through the targeted use of the latest technology, computer-supported and – where possible – fully automatic. Seeds are individually and precisely placed; fruits carefully picked by mechanical grippers; fertilizers and plant protection products applied in small doses and in a targeted manner. These operations require a large number of small electric motors that are both robust and powerful.

The test tube needs to go into the centrifuge, the component at its correction position and the package onto the conveyor belt: gripping objects and placing them someplace else is a fundamental mechanical action in most work processes. In modern systems, "pick-and-place" is performed by automated grippers.

Greater added value, shorter reaction times, more competence. Even in the year of the company's 75th anniversary, FAULHABER continues to improve customer service. Effective April 1, 2022, Dr. Fritz Faulhaber GmbH integrates subsidiary PDT Präzisionsdrehteile GmbH from Nürtingen and thereby welcomes 34 new specialists to the Schönaich location. Thanks to this strategically planned step, FAULHABER can, with a machining center of its own, respond more quickly to individual requests and expands competencies in the area of machining production.

Faulhaber linear motors play a major role in the Automation of the pharmaceutical industry, laboratories and analysis.
