The extreme dynamics of the automotive industry requires a high degree of flexibility from the car manufacturers. Smart production plants and flexible logistics systems are necessary to meet the constantly increasing global competition. These systems must be adapted quickly and flexibly in order to economically meet the increasing demand for diversity.

The Asset Administration Shell in the Industry 4.0 platform as a reference framework is specifically supplemented by the intralogistics group with automatable device features

• The alliance strives for manufacturer-neutral automation that is highly agile for the user without much IT effort

• The "open source" principle with ready-made software code allows cost-effective digitisation even for medium-sized companies

With the BL 42 blower, MAE presents a new solution for medical applications. Medical applications such as the ventilation of patients require the highest standards in dynamics, smooth operation, reliability, low noise and compactness.

From now on, we offer HeDu online career guidance for interested students. This will involve a virtual meeting with trainees, students and young entrants to the profession, where they will be able to obtain information about the various training professions and courses of study.

With the BGE 5510 dPro, Dunkermotoren continues the roll-out of its new Motor Control Platform. In addition to the successful brushless motors with integrated electronics, it is now also available as a compact control cabinet version. With this version, you can control brushed and brushless motors from the Dunkermotoren portfolio up to a continuous output of ~250 W. In addition to the drive, incremental encoders and a brake can also be connected.

The 2-stage bevel gear unit KG 150 reliably transmits the torques of the brushless DC motors BG 95x40 and BG 95x80. Continuous torques of up to 120 Nm and acceleration torques of up to 240 Nm are available.

With the European Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/1781 (ecodesign requirements for electric motors and speed control systems), new minimum efficiencies for electric motors will be prescribed from July 1, 2021.

Students of the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences develop the mobile robot platform (rover) “Horizon XIX“ for the international student competition “European Rover Challenge“. The rover is dimensioned for the mars-like challenges of the competition. Smart Dunkermotoren motors of the BG 65S series form the centerpiece of the rover, they power the chassis.
