Frameless motors have only two main components - stator and rotor - in common with conventional motors. This is a decisive advantage when it comes to tailor-cut design and individual integration into customer-specific systems. Due to the direct integration into machines or device assemblies and the hollow shaft concept with cable, compressed air, vacuum, fiber optic and laser feedthroughs, frameless motors require very little space. At the same time, they are highly efficient and durable and run stably and reliably in quiet operation. The KOCO MOTION motors are characterized by an immediate peak torque of up to 2400 Nm, a maximum motor speed of up to 900 rpm and a high level of user-friendliness. The frameless motors are also highly precise. They are backlash-free during high-precision and high-speed operations and have an extremely high level of positioning accuracy. KOCO MOTION supports and advises on the optimal design and integration of the modularly configurable frameless motors into customer systems. Since the compact motors are used in a wide variety of industries, such as robotics, mechanical engineering, packaging technology, semiconductor manufacturing or medical technology, it is important to precisely adapt and select all the necessary motor components. This is the only way to really get the best out of the frameless motor.

Waterfall Security enables secure and reliable operations through software-enabled hardware platforms. Their solutions protect against both today’s cybersecurity challenges and those yet to come.

The HSB-sigma® ZRX outdoor unit has been specifically engineered for long-term operation in demanding environmental conditions. While conventional linear units quickly reach their limits when exposed to intense sunlight, rain, severe temperature fluctuations, and contamination, the ZRX sets new standards for robust outdoor applications. Its combination of a high-performance toothed belt drive and a precision roller guide system ensures exceptional dynamics, operational reliability, and repeat accuracy, even under harsh climatic influences. The performance of the HSB-sigma® ZRX was validated by an independent testing laboratory under realistic, industry-relevant conditions. Despite extreme stress scenarios, the unit remained fully functional throughout all test cycles, clear evidence of its suitability for use in exposed and demanding environments.

The industrial inkjet printer JOKER marks quickly and with high resolution. Using solvent ink, the Hi-Res system is able to print precisely on smooth, non-absorbent as well as absorbent surfaces. The intermediate tank and double nozzle channels make the JOKER process reliable in many ways. Particularly for direct labeling on secondary packaging and in the logistics sector. Almost independent of the surface, the JOKER replaces expensive and environmentally critical labels with direct printing.

With a LaseLink UV laser, you benefit from permanent markings. The product markings applied with a UV laser coder also withstand subsequent stresses, such as friction, alcohol, heat or transport processes, which ensures their long-term durability and readability.
