Flight Assembled Architecture

Swiss architects Gramazio & Kohler and Raffaello D’Andrea are a fully automated construction project at the FRAC Centre in Orléans, France that uses flying robots to assemble a six meter high tower constructed of 1500 polystyrene foam bricks. The exhibit lasts from up to February 19, 2012. The same team previously used a robot called "R-O-B" to build a looping wall in New York and the award-winning Structural Oscillations installation at the 2008 Venice Architecture Biennale.

KNF - Automation Technology Requires Reliable and Durable Pumps

KNF vacuum pumps for automation applications are designed for a long service life, with micro gas pumps used as cobot pumps achieving more than 20,000 hours. The latest generation of KNF brushless DC motors has an innovative bearing design that withstands high mechanical loads. This technical strength protects the vacuum pump's longevity, especially with fast switching cycles.
