Spindles are one of the essential parts of a machine tool. It is impossible to reach a satisfactory level of precision and surface finish if this element is not correctly dimensioned, produced and assembled. Despite a significant increase in the number of motorised spindles available on the market, there are still, essentially for reasons of cost and transferable power, a lot of belt-driven spindles in use. This type of spindle allows the motor to be deviated via a belt or other coupling (…)

On 1 October 2007 at the public presentation of the 2007-2012 Strategic Plan, Messrs Raymond Stauffer, CEO and Managing Director, and Philippe Maquelin, COO/CFO, indicated that they did not intend to continue in a general management role beyond the spring of 2011. The consequences of that decision, which they have subsequently reaffirmed, entailed a period of reflection and preparation commencing over a year ago, which has now resulted in the following decisions and proposals. Mr Philippe (…)

Kabelschlepp offers optimal solution after test run of several months under operating conditions. On Hannover Exhibition this year, Kabelschlepp presented solutions with a focus on customer individual solutions. One of these was a powerful, robust and cost effective system required to cover the travel of three axes in a linear robotic system. Kabelschlepp´s Uniflex Advanced 1555 cable carriers, which are especially quiet thanks to an internal noise damping system, convincingly withstood (…)
