Automation made very easy: with the new ReBeL, now there is a plastic cobot from igus that weighs only ten kilograms. Together with low costs, low maintenance and simple operation, the ReBeL makes new innovative ideas in service robotics feasible for smaller companies and start-ups – from installed use on agricultural drones up to mobileContinueContinue reading “Cost-effective automation: igus presents the world’s lightest cobot”

Hyrazine is commonly used as an aerospace propellant for low to medium thrust applications. Hydrogen peroxide, however, is a much less toxic alternative. And a PhD student at Canterbury is developing a 3D printed catalyst bed that will enable more efficient use of this as a propellant for rockets.

Could carbon fibre be used for spacecraft and laser light technology be used to transmit data to Earth? This is what researchers from the University of Auckland and German space experts have teamed up to find out.

Headquartered in Auckland, Rakon is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of frequency control products and timing solutions. Its products can be found at the heart of many applications, from 5G networks and satellites, to even vehicles on Mars.

Small, compact and fast: these are the demands on the new generations of motors. And the new igus hybrid cable for SEW motors from Treotham makes it possible.

The Creative Design and Additive Manufacturing (CDAM) Lab has taken out top place for the Academic Research Team category of the 2021 3D Printing Industry Awards, placing ahead of competition from the US, UK and Europe.

A new compact, high performance smart camera has landed from Treotham. With the ability to adapt itself to a number of situations with its intelligent, modular software concept, the technology is an exciting innovation.
