Industrial development is entering a new era: modular drive systems and platform-based thinking are fundamentally transforming how modern machines are built. By relying on intelligent, scalable foundations, a wide range of applications—from mobile machinery to robotics—can now be developed faster, more flexibly, and more efficiently. But what does this mean in practice, and why is it becoming one of the key competitive advantages in the industry?
Discover how modern automation and industrial safety work in practice! At the Precision Control Experience Day, you will get to know the latest innovations from Captron and ReeR through professional presentations, live technology demonstrations, and interactive discussions, all within an exclusive, limited-attendance event.
What happens when a critical component suddenly disappears from the market or comes with months-long lead times? This article shows how to avoid downtime by smartly replacing precision braking cylinders and miniature shock absorbers. More importantly, it reveals how to find a truly stable, long-term alternative.
Industrial automation is entering a new era. With the rise of Industry 5.0 and Physical AI, machines no longer just execute tasks – they adapt, learn, and collaborate with humans. But what does this mean in practice for manufacturers and machine builders? In this article, we explore the key changes and how to prepare for the next level of automation.
This year again, Budapest hosted one of the key professional events of the BIBUS Hydraulic Group, the three-day Hydraulics Training, held between March 23–25. The event once again highlighted the importance of knowledge sharing and international collaboration within the BIBUS network.
Industrial automation is no longer about implementing individual technologies, but about how these technologies fit together into a cohesive, future-proof system. The parallel evolution of artificial intelligence, IIoT, digital twins, and robotics is fundamentally reshaping manufacturing environments.
During the development of the Flaar 24 sailboat, the objective was to create a trailerable performance boat that combines shallow draft capability, high stability, and outstanding sailing performance. A central element of this concept is the electric swing keel system, driven by a Thomson linear actuator.
The use of industrial robots is no longer a competitive advantage on its own, but rather a basic requirement in modern manufacturing. The real difference lies in how flexible a robotic investment is, how efficiently it can be utilized, and how quickly it delivers return on investment. These factors are not determined solely by the type of robot, but also by the system in which it operates.
In industrial automation, precision is the foundation of every decision. Whether in dispensing, bonding, welding or other robotic processes, the exact tool center point and reliable material level monitoring directly impact quality, cycle time and operational safety.
Underwater motion in industrial environments places far greater demands on mechanical systems than operation on the surface. Constant hydrostatic pressure, corrosion and limited maintenance options mean that solutions proven in dry conditions often fail when used underwater. Selecting an actuator specifically designed for underwater operation is therefore a critical decision already at the design stage, directly influencing reliability, accuracy and long-term system performance.
