From the beginning until today

Since the beginning of the 80s we have developed custom-made solutions and we meet new challenges. This is our motivation: We are working on new ideas and developments – always focused on the future.

Drive Engineering

  • First drive systems with motor and inverter in one housing for the synthetic fibre industry.
  • Individual inverter with IP67 housing for high ambient temperature.

Measure and Control Systems

  • Introduction into control technology and application in all field devices.

Electrical Control Cabinet Production

  • The integration of drive engineering into the components makes electrical control cabinets superfluous. The result is a space saving of 18 %.
2000 – today

Drive Engineering

  • Introduction of a revolutionary drive engineering for rapidly changing movements based on field-oriented controlled stepper motors and substitution of the commonly used inflexible mechanical solutions.
  • Utilisation of the technology for highly dynamic drives in labelling and sewing machines.
  • Fivefold and sevenfold inverter systems for high speed take-up machines.
  • New digital inverter generation with heat-pipe cooling.
  • Enhancement of power range of highly dynamic stepper motor drives.

Measure and Control Systems

  • Development of a new control platform for textile machines with Ethernet connectivity.

Induction Technology

  • Development and delivery of an induction-heating device for a small furnace for melting and magnetic stirring of metals.
  • Transfer of the induction heating system to other applications.

Electrical Control Cabinet Production

  • Development of a modular electrical control cabinet system for direct mounting on machines with integrated Heat-Pipe system for cooling of the power electronics, protection class IP54.
