Dear Readers, The corona pandemic has clearly demonstrated to the whole world just what a highly contagious virus can do. Tourists and travellers have unintentionally contributed to the spread of the disease. Detecting infected persons on arrival at airports or train stations is key in preventing a potential chain of infection. Thermal imaging Publisher / Editor: DR. FRITZ FAULHABER GMBH & CO.

AWARD: FAULHABER IS FIRST “PREFERRED TECHNOLOGY PARTNER” OF HEIDELBERGER DRUCKMASCHINEN AG Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG has been a reliable partner with great innovative strength for the global printing industry. The company's mission is to shape the digital future of the sector. For the extraordinary technological achievements and innovative support on the way to achieving this goal, Heidelberger has now designated FAULHABER as “Preferred Technology Partner.” FAULHABER is especially happy about this sign of recognition as it is the first time that Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG has granted...

the “Electric Drives” product group. Various performance indicators play a role in the evaluation of this category. These include the zero-error rate in product and process quality, continuous improvement, a cooperative partnership and reliability with regard to logistics. “FAULHABER was able to convince us in all of these aspects,” commented Helmut Braun, head of Quality Assurance/Electronics Procurement at Heidelberger. Sebastian Huber, Senior Manager Purchasing: “FAULHABER has already in the past proven its outstanding performance in the collaboration with Heidelberger which, in each of the...

APPLICATIONS? STEP INTO THE RING. Many applications require drive solutions that have a central opening through which, e.g., light, cables or parts of the application can be guided. Examples of this can be found in optics and photonics for laser steering systems or in automation and robotics for semiconductor handling systems. Until now, conventional systems always resulted in compromises here. The apertures of the hollow shafts were often quite small, the drives slow, heavy or the mechanical integration required a great deal of work. But now, a new direct drive offers a promising alternative,...

APPLICATIONS? STEP INTO THE RING. Laser beam control There are many drive technologies and solutions available that are generally suitable in cases where a central opening is needed. In practical use, however, each has its own disadvantages. With classically constructed motors, for example, the diameter of the hollow shaft is usually limited to approximately 10 to 12 mm on account of the necessary copper filling factor or magnet yoke. Due to their multi-pole design, torque motors do permit larger openings, but cannot achieve high speeds due to their large moving mass. In addition, they are relatively...

New approach – new possibilities For the new DM66200H stepper motor series, FAULHABER has developed an entirely new drive solution, specially designed for applications requiring a large central opening. With a total diameter of 66 mm, it offers a very large hollow shaft inner diameter of 40 mm. And it is only 24 mm thick and weighs just 218 g. As a result, the compact drive is easy to mount and requires very little installation space. The rotor directly drives the mechanics, which are arranged around the opening and does so without transmission. As a result, there is no mechanical backlash that...

A HEAD START SAVES LIVES 10

Anyone suffering from symptoms such as a cough, fever or headaches and muscle pains today tries to ascertain as quickly as possible whether they’ve been infected with corona, a cold or the flu. This is performed most easily using a swab. The sample can then be sent to a large-scale laboratory or – for even faster results – analyzed on-site with a point-of-care (PoC) system. In both scenarios, FAULHABER drives guarantee reliable analyses and ensure a head start in diagnostics. A fast and highly specific diagnosis of infectious diseases such as COVID-19 or influenza through polymerase chain reaction...

On-site analysis Prior to a surgical procedure or a drug therapy, a PoC analysis device is used to determine important parameters such as blood values, coagulation, blood gas values and electrolytes or check patients for infectious diseases such as influenza. Various technologies are used for the analyses, including fluorescence detection, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and microfluidics. They play an important role in the fight against COVID-19 as well. The most reliable test for detecting a coronavirus infection is the PCR test. Analysis devices for PoC use are nearly fully automated and,...

Numerous drive tasks The drives used in the lab must perform a number of different drive tasks. Smooth operation is only possible if the individual steps occur with high dynamics and precision. For example, each sample must first be clearly identified with a bar code, the stopper unscrewed and it must be ensured that only a part of the sample is used for the analysis. Especially for tests for COVID-19 or vaccine development, it is important that part of the sample be resealed and archived for any subsequent retesting and for archiving purposes. Needed during the preparation of the samples are,...
