Nature-inspired nerve repair
TodayNewrotex uses spider silk as a dissolvable scaffold to bridge nerve gaps up to 20 cm - offering a scalable alternative to autografts. Harvested via a precision winding system co-developed with maxon, the company's ironless DC motors, gearboxes and controllers ensure medical-grade silk quality. The resulting implant, Silk Axons, supports axon regrowth and dissolves after healing.
Tough enclosures with built-in EMC shielding
TodayRising demand for ROLEC's HMI touch screen enclosures has not diminished the popularly of its conTROL (IP 66, IP 67) housings for buttons and switches. These diecast aluminium enclosures - which feature built-in EMC shielding - are designed primarily for machine control in challenging environments. They are also ideal for a wide range of other industrial electronics applications.
