Machine Tools

The lead times in industries where machine tools are basic to production are getting progressively shorter. The focus is on reducing manufacturing costs and enhancing the efficiency of the machines. The requirements for flexibility, precision, repeatability, speed and productivity are also increasing as a result. Our products are characterized by high precision, excellent performance and power density and exemplary reliability. Not only low-backlash planetary gearheads but also mechanical and mechatronic linear systems, actuators and highly precise, customized servo motors are an integral part of our portfolio. Our revolutionary Galaxie^® Drive System enables unprecedented machining quality with torque and stiffness characteristics several times better than traditional hollow-shaft gearheads. And thanks to our innovative sizing tools, powertrains for the most diverse applications can now be optimally designed with our products.
