Extreme bike tuner, Dangerholm, is making science-fiction reality. Their idea of the bike of the future poses challenges for manufacturers, but together with TRUMPF and the TruPrint metal 3D printers, a prototype was ready to ride at Eurobike 2024.

Data from LCP Delta has revealed that UK drivers pay 74 per cent more to charge their electric vehicles (EVs) than anywhere else in Europe - adding to a long list of issues EV drivers face. Dave Walsha, sales manager at EMS, explains how drive technology can help manufacturers resolve some of the common issues with EVs.

Rotor Clip announces the launch of its new, patented InterShim Wave Spring design. Engineered for high-acceleration electric motor applications, it features alternating turns between inactive (flat) and active (waved) turns to ensure reliable performance under torsional loads and precise rotational movement.

Rotor, part of the WEG Group, will exhibit at SMM Hamburg, the leading international maritime trade fair, held on 3 to 6 September 2024. Rotor will showcase its latest innovations in motor technology, focusing on solutions designed to enhance efficiency, reliability and performance in marine applications.

Unlike more common coil springs or disc springs, wave springs offer a fresh perspective on engineering challenges. Their standout feature lies in their remarkable ability to compress and expand efficiently while occupying significantly less space than traditional options, as the experts at Rotor Clip explain.

The patient outcome of surgery performed by a robot is contingent on the control precision of its end effectors. Central to this delivery is the motion performance achieved by the robot's miniature motor system, explains Paul Schonhoff, Portescap's subject matter expert for surgical application motion control.

EAO announces a range of HMI systems and components tailored for the growing electric vehicle (EV) industry. This includes products to optimise user performance with both vehicles and critical infrastructure such as charging stations.

OKW's robust DATEC-POCKET-BOX can now accommodate N, AA, AAA and 9 V cells for a wide range of handheld electronics. These pocket-sized plastic enclosures are ideal for measurement and control, remote controls, pulse generation for ultrasound and infrared, sensors, optoelectronics, mobile data recording and wireless communications.

The Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation IOSB has developed an autonomous surface vehicle capable of autonomously surveying bodies of water as part of a three-year in-house research project. For this purpose, the river bed is recorded using sonar. Furthermore, the bank areas and surface structures are monitored by an optical system with two integrated industrial cameras from IDS Imaging Development Systems.

The medical technology landscape is ever-evolving, and 3D-Circuits are at the forefront of this change. HARTING's 3D-Circuit technology offers the potential to revolutionise wearable medical devices, making them smaller, smarter, and more comfortable for patients.
