Wat is luchtmeting?

Air gaging of luchtmeting is een contactloze meettechniek waarbij gebruik wordt gemaakt van perslucht om de afmetingen en vormen van een vervaardigd onderdeel te bepalen. De meting werkt door een stroom perslucht op het oppervlak van het onderdeel te sturen, het sensorelement van de meter detecteert veranderingen in de luchtdruk en zet deze om in…

Linear actuator with integrated feedback system

The linear servomotors in the AL8000 series can optionally be equipped with One Cable Technology (OCT). As with the established OCT solution for rotary motors, the OCT solution for linear motors means that the feedback cable can be dispensed with….

Hexapod Production: PI Substantially Increases Production Capacities

Based on a comprehensive analysis of the production processes for hexapods, Physik Instrumente (PI) has adapted its production capacities to the sharp increase in demand and is prepared to expand them even further if required. The focus of the restructuring was the optimization and relocation of the entire “Hexapods” production area to newly designed premises,…

Compact Automation

A “compact automation” is a mechatronic system that performs a whole series of consecutive production steps autonomously. “Compact” refers to the small dimensions, in the millimeter and centimeter range, of the products to be processed. Designing and constructing such systems is one of the core activities of the Austrian machine manufacturer STIWA. Its modular system…
