Startups are sources of innovation that develop new technologies and business models and help solve the challenges of our time. Their products and solutions – from blockchain and machine learning to digital twins and IT/OT integration to e-mobility and green hydrogen – reflect this.
Doosan Industrial Vehicle (DIV), a global South Korean forklift manufacturer, partners with Kollmorgen to secure their leading position in the material handling industry. The objective is to innovate and build efficient, sustainable, and reliable custom made AGVs that exceeds their customers’ future requirements.
Motion Industries, Inc. is pleased to announce the newest Motion Ai facility, located at 71 Cherry Hill Drive, Beverly, Mass., 01915. The new facility officially opened on December 1, 2022.
When selecting couplings for precise motion applications there are often questions about the most suitable approach for optimizing both performance and economy.

Precision flexible shaft couplings come in two basic forms, both of which are designed to operate without backlash or excessive inertia while compensating for inevitable misalignment offsets between motor/gearbox and load. Torsionally stiff couplings are made with metallic flexible elements and with the intent to eliminate as much twisting deflection as possible so that the rotation of both shafts is kept as well synchronized as can be.
Hannover Messe 2023 provides the latest technologies in robotics, automation, motion control, IIoT, fluid power, e-mobility, material handling and more.
ABB is celebrating the “floor pour” of its newest U.S. flagship campus at 18250 W. Lincoln Avenue. The greenfield location in New Berlin will serve as the U.S. headquarters, manufacturing facility and distribution center for the Drives and Motion Services businesses. The new facility is anticipated to open in late 2024 and will accommodate 720 ABB employees. Approximately $100 million is being invested in the project and is expected to create 100 new jobs over the next three years.
Festo introduces the company’s latest online productivity tool – Electric Motion Sizing – for error-free sizing of linear and rotary electromechanical systems. Electric Motion Sizing improves project efficiency by slashing the engineering time required for identifying and specifying harmonized electric motion systems. Multi-axis handling systems can be specified with Electric Motion Sizing’s sister productivity tool Handling Guide Online, which offers similar benefits.
Industry 4.0 is an umbrella brand grouping together sensor manufacturers, automation companies, robotics builders, software producers and users. The term gave rise to a new enthusiasm for automation and thus also for the digitization of industrial processes – inspiring many young people to sign on at industrial enterprises as a result.
Cycloidal speed reducer technology reduces the speed of a motor’s input shaft by a predetermined ratio, matched to the application and the type of equipment used. These high-precision devices deliver relatively high reduction ratios, even for sizes as small as 50 mm in diameter. Speed reducers are essential for precise motion control in sophisticated systems such as robotics, military/defense equipment, and satellite antennas.
When fluid power and power transmission products are discontinued, finding replacements can be challenging. Zero-Max now fills this Overhung Load Adaptor void with its new 212k and 412k OHLA models for 2-bolt SAE A mount and 4-bolt non-SAE mount applications requiring a 1-1/4” output shaft.
