A positioning system datasheet may specify a value of 0.01 mm, but this could refer to accuracy, repeatability, resolution or encoder resolution. These parameters describe different aspects of system performance. We explain the differences and show what should be included when specifying a linear positioning axis.
Linear actuators are used in a wide range of applications, from adjustable hospital beds to automated machinery. But did you know they can also be used to lift and open heavy objects, such as basement trapdoors?
In aeronautics, passenger safety does not start in the cabin. It starts well before: in the technical choices, the justification files, the means of control, traceability, compliance and the ability to work with partners capable of meeting the sector's requirements. The current growth in order books from major aircraft manufacturers leads to a whole chain of needs: ergonomics, seats, comfort, movement, reliability, certification
In the industry, there is a classic temptation: to “fall in love” with a technology. because it is new, because it is trendy, because it gives the feeling of innovation… But on the ground, a technology only has value if it meets the right need.
Thank you very much for visiting us at Interforst 2026
Precision is only part of the challenge in an advanced panel bending machine. Energy flow, peak power, cabling and machine footprint matter as well. See how Salvagnini and Kollmorgen combined multi-axis servo drives, regenerative energy management, decentralized drives and direct-drive motors in a more efficient motion architecture.
When we talk about electrification, many still think first of road mobility: private cars, utility vehicles or buses. It's understandable. But in industry, electrification also concerns agricultural machinery, construction machinery, off-road machines and special equipment. And there, the rules of the game change.
When we talk about industrial co-innovation, many immediately imagine large projects, large groups, large budgets, large committees, large meetings where we talk a lot before deciding. This is not necessarily the logic of BIBUS Solutions. Laurent Kuhn, head of studies and costing at BIBUS France, makes this clear: the offer can be aimed at both a small business and a large CAC group. 40.
