When it comes to demanding environments, few industries rival the complexities of food processing. Motion systems must withstand frequent washdowns, resist caustic cleaning agents, and be easy to clean to meet strict hygiene standards. They must also maintain high-precision performance, deliver consistent repeatability, and operate reliably with minimal maintenance.

Strawberry fields are subject to a significant, ongoing threat from insects, especially lygus bugs, which feed on the sap of strawberry plants. Left unchecked, lygus bugs damage fruit by puncturing individual seeds; this, in turn, stops the development of the berry in the area surrounding the feeding site.

Launching this summer, the AERAS drone is set to reduce work-at-height accidents and speed up manual tasks.

From simulation to sensation: Linear motion brings paragliding VR ride to life

From simulation to sensation: Linear motion brings paragliding VR ride to life

Designing immersive, motion-based virtual reality (VR) experiences presents a unique blend of engineering and creative challenges. Frontgrid – a UK-based pioneer in immersive entertainment – needed its flagship attraction, ParadropVR, to replicate the thrilling sensation of paragliding, complete with sudden ascents and dramatic drops. But replicating such high-speed motion safely and reliably would require more than creative thinking. It would demand precision motion engineering.

How does a Linear Chain work?

How does a Linear Chain work?

Designed for applications with space limitations, a Linear Chain can operate in both directions – it can pull and "push". Here, we take a look at the benefits that linear drive alternatives can bring to your application, using those offered by GROB Antriebstechnik as an example.
