RF GFI/GFIS: Foot controls with new high reliability wireless technology
The advantages of wireless communication are particularly obvious in the case of foot controls. The units can be positioned at will and there are no cables to trip over or restrict movement. With the RF GFI/ GFIS series engineers wishing to exploit these advantages not only have a new series of wireless foot switches at their disposal; they can also use a new high reliability wireless standard developed by steute.

MapleSim Used to Create High Fidelity Physical Models of Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Batteries
In recent years, the demand for hybrid-electric and fully electric vehicles has increased enormously. The development of such vehicles is a significantly more complex task than designing conventional cars because they incorporate many different engineering domains into a single system. At the same time, competitive pressures are forcing auto manufacturers to come up with new designs faster than ever before. The industry is turning to math-based physical modeling techniques which allow engineers to accurately describe the behavior of the components that comprise the system and the physical constraints on the system. These model equations are then used to develop, test, and refine designs very quickly, and without the expense and time required to build physical prototypes.

Innovative brake system increases safety of vertical axes
If there is a danger of falling loads on vertical axes in areas where personnel have to work, additional measures must be taken to minimise the risk of accidents. The Mauerstetten brake specialist mayr® power transmission has developed brake systems which are capable of providing safety in any critical situation occurring during vertical axes operation.

Amixon VM: New mixer generation with total emptying
At first sight, every industrially applicable mixing principle already seems to be invented for the solids mixing technology. These processing machines however are continuously refined and improved. Their objective, amongst other things, is to simplify the production of appliances. The refinement furthermore aims at increasing the user advan-tages for the operator and enhancing the production processes. The engineers also focus on the optimisation of the hygiene and the mixing quality. This is where amixon GmbH introduces a new development, which enables an almost complete removal of the mixed product, without leaving any residues whatsoever, from the mixer.
