With our flexible and customized approach to cable assembly, we create reliable connections tailored precisely to your requirements. We manufacture a wide range of single-core cables and produce complete cable sets as well as cable harnesses with the highest level of precision and quality. Through modern manufacturing processes and careful workmanship, we ensure durable, safe, and efficient solutions for a wide variety of industrial applications.

Ready-to-order drive controllers are inexpensive in the development phase, but include unnecessary functions and result in high unit prices in series production. The flexible design of our motion control platform enables us to develop your individual solution tailored to your needs in the shortest possible time. You define the required specifications and we design your cost-optimised control system. The advantages - Cost reduction through tailor-made solutions - Perfect adaptation to your own mechanics - Increased innovation through rapid market introduction - Competitive advantage in your industry Project example (the full story can be found in the download area): A new control module was developed to improve the cost-effectiveness and user-friendliness of an existing furniture moving system. It reduces manufacturing costs and significantly simplifies assembly and commissioning for the customer. Integrated obstacle detection and absolute position The motor control has integrated obstacle detection, eliminating the need for external sensors. A cost-effective SSI absolute encoder enables precise position detection. The system can reliably control up to three pieces of furniture simultaneously. From prototype to series production The project encompassed the entire development process – from the concept phase to prototypes to a solution ready for series production. The control unit, firmware, cabling and mechanical interfaces were completely redesigned. Suitable assembly and testing devices were created for series production. Maximised customer benefit through system integration -Significant cost reduction through the elimination of external sensors and simplified cabling -Easy installation thanks to assembly-friendly design -Modular design for flexible adaptation to different applications

Industrial automation is becoming ever smarter – and thus more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Modern automation systems consist of a multitude of connected components. Unprotected interfaces, missing updates or insecure passwords are just a few of the gateways. The damage to industry caused by cyberattacks amounts to billions of euros. End-to-end security is therefore no longer an option – it is a necessity. Bosch Rexroth attaches particular importance to cybersecurity and implements the highest security standards in all its automation solutions. This enables companies to continuously guarantee secure and reliable manufacturing. The automation products from Bosch Rexroth meet the legal requirements, which are constantly increasing in number. As governments around the world are increasingly relying on stricter security regulations to counter increasing cyber threats. Companies have to address these requirements at an early stage to comply with the law and effectively secure their systems.

We combine proven standard products with customised, cost-optimised drive solutions – perfectly tailored to your requirements. From evaluation, design and validation to product certification and support. - Customised drive systems - System integration and optimisation - Prototypes and accompanying studies Project example (full story available in the download area): Antrimon developed a unique valve actuator for a global equipment manufacturer facing extreme operating conditions. The requirements were demanding: operation in ATEX and IECEx Zone 22, ambient temperatures from 5 to 50 °C, lifetime exceeding 10 million cycles, high continuous and acceleration torque at low speeds, minimal heat generation and maximum energy efficiency – all in a compact design with worldwide certifications (ATEX, IECEx, CE, UL). No such solution existed on the market. Antrimon’s answer was a fully customised brushless outer-rotor motor combined with a two-stage planetary gearbox. The design focused on delivering maximum torque at the lowest speed, exceptional robustness and reliability. With a maintenance-free concept – no brushes, no oil changes – the actuator is built for continuous heavy-duty operation. The entire process, from feasibility analysis and mechanical/electronic design to prototyping, extreme-condition validation, certification and series production, was handled in-house. The result: significantly lower energy consumption compared to pneumatic systems, extended maintenance intervals, improved process safety and full global compliance. This solution gives the customer a clear competitive edge in international plant engineering. Antrimon is the only provider worldwide able to deliver such a certified solution economically from concept to series production.

The DTS+ track system incorporates key features of Hepco’s PRT track system and original DTS, combining them with a high load capacity connection for carriages to the drive belt. The carriages will not disengage from the belt, allowing transmission of higher driving forces compared to the original DTS conveyor system. Whilst the original DTS will often be the right choice for many applications, the DTS+ is suitable for applications with high loads, a vertical orientation, or where the free space inside the track circuit is required to integrate additional equipment.

We design pneumatic connection solutions tailored to any system configuration. Reliability, ease of assembly, and a perfect seal: with Metal Work fittings, every connection is under control. - Metal Work push-in fittings ensure fast, secure tube-to-actuator connections, reusable thousands of times without compromising pneumatic or mechanical sealing. The release system is quick and easy: pressing the sleeve opens the spring, freeing the tube. Available in many configurations for metric tubes (Ø 3–14) and inch tubes (Ø 1/8–1/2), with G, ISO 7-1 tapered, metric, and NPT threads. Some models feature patented screwdriver-release slots or asymmetric wall-mount rings. - Standard fittings Series A are the most common for rigid or removable pipe connections. Available in various shapes (elbows, sleeves, reducers, tees, crosses, flanges), they come in brass, steel, stainless steel, or plastic. Used in hydraulic, pneumatic, gas, and industrial systems, they ensure wide availability and interchangeability under ISO, DIN, and UNI standards. Sealants may be required for proper sealing. - Series B compression fittings with double ferrule (bicono) use two rings tightened by the nut to grip the tube and ensure sealing, without welding or threading. They are reusable, reliable at high pressures, and made of brass or stainless steel with possible anti-corrosion coatings. Applications include pneumatic and hydraulic systems, gas lines, and industrial instrumentation. - Series C push-in fittings allow quick connection of plastic tubes (PU, PE, PTFE, nylon) directly into the fitting, with a steel ring securing the tube and a seal ensuring tightness. Made of brass or technopolymer, they enable tool-free assembly and disassembly, ideal for flexible tubing. Widely used in pneumatic systems, compressed air, automation, and small fluid distribution. Not suitable for very high pressures or metal pipes. - Series D fittings in OT 58 brass, with maximum pressure of 261 psi / 1800 KPa / 18 bar.

PROCESS INTEGRATION & AUTOMATION Goal: Seamless, stable production systems

Functional safety in Industrial Ethernet is essential for the safe operation of industrial systems. The risk of accidents and failures can be minimised through the implementation of safety protocols, continuous monitoring and compliance with international standards. As a long-standing safety sensor specialist, Kübler is now expanding its safe Industrial Ethernet encoder platform with the latest SIL2 and SIL3 certified Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE) protocol. The S58x8FSX encoder transmits up to 15 bits safe or up to 24 bits non-safe, as well as fully redundant multiturn information of 12 bits safe. Thanks to the platform architecture, this is realised in exactly the same design as the S58 PROFIsafe encoder. Updates can be carried out easily via FoE (File over EtherCAT) without the need for a web server. This simplifies the maintenance process considerably and ensures that the encoder always remains state-of-the-art. The Sendix encoder offers great benefits, particularly due to its high system availability. Equipped with cyber security and protection mechanisms against hacker attacks and misuse in accordance with IEC 62443, the encoder ensures a safe and reliable connection in safety-critical applications.
