Gearboxes for rotation arms, feed and discharge belts for the food industry
“I think it is mainly an industrial push. You can do a lot with IoT technology, but our customers are not yet thinking in that direction. In addition, we have been recording all important machine data for a long time. We know exactly how many strokes the robots have taken. This allows us to monitor very closely when we need to check or replace parts. Since our distribution software ensures that all robots are equally loaded, it is also of low added value to collect information about each individual motor. We can all build it in just fine, but as long as the customers don’t want to pay for it, we won’t start so quickly.”
“Our advantage is that we now have 66 product series, about half of them are made of stainless steel. If you put food-grade lubricants in it, you have a gearbox that immediately meets the requirements of PWR. ”
