Producing more efficient
For a number of years, everybody was talking about the energy efficiency issue. Increasing energy costs, a growing environmental awareness, and the political guidance were all triggers for many companies to highlight the energy consumption of machines and components in their communication with the public. Efficiency is much more than simple energy efficiency now, especially when considering the
time- and cost aspects in regards to efficiency. When all these factors have been considered in a holistic way, the full potentials for modern machining and production become visible. The modern clamping devices and gripping systems make it clear how complex the possibilities are.
