Overview
Digital gearboxes: Smart, backlash-free, installation space-neutral Our digital gearboxes combine high-precision, backlash-free strain wave gear technology with smart sensor technology and artificial intelligence - without any change in size. The strain wave gears meet all the requirements for integration into intelligently networked and digital production processes and make a decisive contribution to increasing efficiency, optimizing performance, conserving resources and improving cost-effectiveness. All in all, this results in potential savings in the double-digit percentage range. Smart sensor technology for data-based optimizations Maximizing machine and robot availability Space-neutral: Dimensions like a standard gearbox Products of the Year 2026 – We’ve Won an Award Our digital bevel gear was awarded third place in the “Products of the Year 2026” reader poll conducted by the trade magazine Computer & Automation in the drive technology category. The awards ceremony took place in Munich in mid-March and gave us the opportunity to accept this special recognition in person. We would like to thank everyone who voted for our digital shaft drive, and especially our development team in Limburg, whose dedication and innovative spirit made this award possible. We would also like to thank the editorial team at Computer & Automation for the nomination. This award confirms our commitment to developing innovative and high-performance solutions in the field of drive technology. (Picture: Andreas Juranits / Computer&Automation) Innovative plug-and-play solution for intelligent automation The digital gearbox integrates smart sensor technology with the same dimensions as a standard gearbox with comparable performance data and therefore offers a space-neutral solution for intelligent automation. Sensors determine torque, temperature and vibration. Combined with our practical experience, reliable conclusions can be drawn about the condition of the gearbox. Continuous condition monitoring makes it possible to calculate the actual service life of the gearbox, determine the gearbox fault, detect overloads, unsuitable operating points and cases of misuse and creates the conditions for sustainable optimization strategies and predictive maintenance concepts. Digitalization of gearboxes Precision gearboxes are a central component in the drive train of machines, robots and systems and play a special role in digitalization. The successful interaction of hardware and software is a decisive competitive factor and the key to modern, efficient and future-proof processes. We combine gearbox expertise, experience, electronics and software development as well as mechatronic system competence in the corporate family and advance your digitalization with innovative concepts.
