Automation
CodeMeter enables secure licensing and IP protection for automation software, from the smallest microcontrollers to enterprise-scale systems, combining monetization, compliance, and cybersecurity in one unified platform.
6-Axis Force-Torque Sensor
The Schunk 6-axis FTS force-torque sensor operates with precision, high resolution, and flexibility. Where robots reach their limits due to a lack of tactile sensitivity, it gives them the necessary finesse to handle even the most challenging tasks.
New Chip Breaker Geometry
Paul Horn GmbH has introduced a new chip breaker geometry for the 274 tool system especially for grooving and parting off on sliding-head lathes. The sintered chip breaker geometry 1A optimises chip control during turning, ensuring a high level of process reliability.
International competition
The starting signal for the application phase of the vector award 2026 has been given. For the tenth time, a joint initiative is honouring designers worldwide who use energy chains made of high-performance plastic to create cable guides that set new technological standards. The winners receive up to 5,000 euros in prize money.
