Stefa Mini Solutions for Next-Generation Robotic Applications
The Stefa Mini, Cassette and Nano Seals all have smaller cross sections than comparable seals in the market today. This matters because a smaller seal allows for smaller glands (the area the seal slips into on the equipment) and smaller glands mean overall smaller equipment.
How to Build a Digital Foundation for Your Robotics and Automation Strategy
A strong digital foundation brings everything together, allowing automation initiatives to scale, adapt and perform as intended. Without it, automation efforts often stall before they reach their full potential.
Facility Maintenance: Lavo Bot AI and NVIDIA Bring Autonomy to Exterior Surface Cleaning
Equipped with advanced mapping, multi-sensor vision and zone-based safety, the system navigates real-job sites with confidence—handling up to 6,000 sq ft/hour and supporting pressure-wash rigs up to 12 GPM and 4,500 PSI.
The ifm Obstacle Detection System (ODS)
The ifm Obstacle Detection System (ODS) optimizes the robot's overall performance by treating obstacle detection as a holistic system rather than just a camera. It provides reliable obstacle detection to protect people, equipment, and mobile robots.

igus 238 chainflex® cables certified for use in dry cleanrooms
In lithium-ion battery manufacturing, production purity is critical. Dust, particles, and moisture can compromise quality and shorten product life. Dry cleanrooms—where relative humidity is typically below one percent or just a few ppm—protect sensitive materials like electrolytes from chemical reactions. However, many machine components fail under such harsh conditions.
