The number of tools available on machines directly influences the ability of these to perform complex operations or machine parts requiring extra finish. The race for productivity and quality are also two parameters pushing companies to always find more intelligent solutions for their customers. Pibomulti presents a new tool-holder system adaptable on many machine-tools: Piboturn. Principle of the Piboturn tool holder. 1) Cone-face adaptation with compressible hollow cone, 2) manual lateral (…)

maxon windings and precious metal brushes generate higher torque …and many other benefits. On the left, the RE 30 Ø 30 mm, precious metal brushes, 15 W by maxon motor. The centerpiece of the maxon motor is the globally patented ironless winding (on the right), System maxon: This motor concept has some very specific benefits, including low interference and no magnetic cogging. The 90% efficiency is unrivalled by other motor systems. Haptic applications are well known in medical (…)

With persistently changing regulatory requirements both domestically and internationally, medical device companies worldwide have struggled to ensure that consumers receive high quality products. Managing quality events within the quality system and throughout the supply chain are seminal in uncovering the source of what ultimately determines the quality, safety, and efficacy of products. The workshop and seminar Master Control: Integrating Risk-based Supplier Auditing (RSA) into Your (…)

The generation of micro holes in different materials with laser has become a well-established process in the industrial sector in recent years. The production of structures with exactly defined geometries is thereby gaining increasing importance. The process is typically realized by using special drilling optics, which deflect the laser beam by rotary motion to create the desired drilling geometry and size. Deficiencies in the beam profile play a minor role and can even be accounted for (…)
