Ganter develops sealed standard stainless steel elements that meet stringent hygiene requirements. Maximum hygiene is one of the absolutely basic prerequisites wherever food is produced. However, hygiene also plays a major role in other sectors — from medical technology and the pharmaceutical industry to manufacturers of dispersion paints. Today, it is all about producing products without preservative additives — and this is only possible in production environments which have high purity levels. Since even the tiniest weak points can cause entire production lines to be contaminated, Ganter decided to develop a special series of standard parts that meet the very high EHEDG requirements and the 3-A Sanitary Standard. Ganter offers a variety of knobs, handles, clamping levers, leveling feet and screws under the label "Hygienic Design", all of which are optimized for minimal contamination and easy cleaning. Stainless steel — with either ground or polished surfaces — is the material used in all of these cases. The maximum surface roughness is kept below Ra 0.8 μm, so that dirt particles cannot adhere and can be reliably removed during cleaning. Another key feature of the Ganter standard parts is their freedom from "dead space". There are no interior areas in which substances can accumulate. A hygienically safe sealing concept, verified by software simulation, guarantees that the FDA-compliant elastomer seals are all installed flush with the surface and fulfill their function in the long term. This prevents problems from developing without being noticed. At first glance, most standard parts appear to be located far away from the actual work areas, but airborne spores from microorganisms can spread rapidly and widely.

The coordinated range of hygienic design solutions from PFLITSCH supports safe and reproducible production processes in the food and pharmaceutical industries. At the same time, it contributes to increased efficiency. For this purpose, the solutions for cable routing, cable feed-through and cable protection are designed for easy cleanability as well as process-safe, time and cost-saving installation.

Compact and reliable geared motor for machine building and industrial applications.

The MXT+ Hydraulic Torque Wrench combines the best of HYTORCs original MXT Wrench with the latest advanced technology including coaxial reaction drive, auto-release feature and a new cycle counter. The MXT+ Wrench is constructed from higher strength materials for rugged industrial use and highly repeatable performance.

The HYTORC Washer is the simplest upgrade for instant improvements in safety, speed and accuracy. This unique, patented system eliminates the need for reaction arms and other custom fixtures required to hold the tool in place. Additionally, the precision machined surface reduces variation in bolt load across the flange for improved accuracy and loosening prevention.

Thanks to networking, safety and intelligence, you benefit from the latest developments in Industrial IoT with this frequency converter. The iC7-Automation opens up completely new possibilities for you to optimize your system with selectable communication protocols and standard Safe Torque Off (STO) SIL3. Thanks to the modular control platform, you can expand the functionality according to your needs.

The energy-efficient latest generation permanent magnet synchronous motor has considerably lower losses than the current IE4 series. The unventilated smooth motor achieves its high efficiency that, at times, is significantly above efficiency class IE5 via a wide torque range – and is optimally suitable for the operation in the partial load range. The compact IE5+ motor offers a high power density with less installation space and will be initially launched in a size for power ranges from 0.35 to 1.1 kW with a continuous torque from 1.6 to 4.8 Nm and speeds from 0 to 2,100 min-1. Direct motor attachment as well as NEMA and IEC motor attachments are available. The motor concept will be gradually extended with more sizes and powers. It is ideal for use in hygiene-sensitive and harsh environments because it is easy to clean, corrosion-resistant and wash-down capable. nsd tupH surface treatment and IP69K protection class are optionally available, as well as an integrated mechanical brake. An integrated encoder is part of the standard equipment. With the new generation of IE5+ motors, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS takes the first step towards a new product system landscape with focus on ultimate energy efficiency paired with compact design. The new IE5+ synchronous motor can be combined with all NORD gear units and drive electronics as a modular system and supplements the successful LogiDrive concept. The new IE5+ motor can further increase these benefits. Utilising the high overload capacity of the motors and the system’s wide adjustment range, the solution is individually tailored to each customer and specifically designed for the system’s individual load range.

The new dimension for demanding sorting and inspection processes The IFlexRing combines proven IFSYS inspection technology with innovative technology on a glass plate system. It enables precise sorting, orientation, and ejection of defective (NIO) parts directly from the feeding process – reliably, quickly, and in a space-saving manner. Feeding is carried out via a part-independent spiral conveyor system, which enables quick changeovers for parts of different sizes and irregular shapes. Further automation, sorting, and orientation of this variety of parts is handled by a powerful camera system in combination with a fast SCARA robot – efficiently and cost-effectively.

Plug and Play via software: The new Smart System IHD from Harmonic Drive® brings together 50 years of experience with precision gears and state-of-the-art motor and drive technology. Experience innovation with our highly integrated drive solution, all without a control cabinet. Integration made easy Highly compact and highly integrated: The IHD system comprises a backlash-free gearbox, a sophisticated servo motor, a dual motor feedback system for position measurement and a powerful motion controller in a ready-to-use drive solution. Easy integration into your application is supported not only by the drive's central hollow shaft, which is predestined to carry a wide variety of media, but also by our specially developed, user-friendly software solution for simple commissioning – plug and play. Compatible and predictive Thanks to thermal optimization of its design, the IHD meets all requirements for high-performance applications in the field of stationary and mobile drive technology. Advanced simulation tools for thermal evaluation of the system have been developed for this purpose. The IHD system has an application processor for future smart applications such as condition monitoring and can be used as a separate platform for customer-specific application programming. The system operates with DC voltages of 24V or 48V. Communication with the machine controller is possible via CANopen, Ethernet and EtherCAT.

The patented dosing valve for industrial lubricants is the result of several years of experience in developing and producing components in the field of volumetric lubricant dosing. The impulse dosing valve is in its element wherever lubricant quantities have to be dosed with positional accuracy and in a precise volume. It is controlled by a monostable, quick-acting pneumatic valve and achieves up to 20 dot-shaped doses per second. Different dosing volumes are therefore possible with a corresponding number of controls with only one IDV without significant loss of time.
