While the Rennschmiede Pforzheim team was previously represented at the Formula Student competition by a combustion-engine vehicle, it will enter an electric race car for the first time in 2020. This not only means a change in design

On 13 and 14 February the regional competition “Jugend forscht – Pforzheim/Enz” will take place on the campus of the university in Pforzheim. The aim of the event is to promote the innovative power, curiosity and inventiveness of young talents and to bring them together with experts from the respective faculties of the university and business within the framework of the competition.

From January 19 to February 16 the “Vesperkirche”, a social project, takes place in a local church in Pforzheim. Many people come here during these days to eat, get help or just to have a roof over their heads. As part of their social activities, trainees and trainers from STOBER are supporting the event.

We saw tremendous success at SPS in Nuremberg, Germany. There, at the largest international trade show for electrical automation technology, we were able to generate many more new contacts as well as more leads than in years past.

For precise, high-speed tasks, companies from industries such as the automotive, food, medicine, pharmaceutical, plastic or electronics sector rely on robots—e.g. for loading and unloading, palletizing, handling, sorting or stacking a wide array of components. Stäubli Robotics is one of the leading providers in the world. Additional axes from STOBER allow the multi-axis robots to be configured with complete freedom, thus giving them maximum flexibility. This is a partnership with a future—and significant added value for customers.

Mechanical and design engineers are always pressed for time. Putting together just the right drive solutions is particularly time-consuming ─ especially if you have to gather and compare extensive manufacturer-specific documentation.

On two days in March and April customers and interested parties participated at STOBER’s annual Practical Forum in Pforzheim. The event offers participants the opportunity to inform themselves about current trends and innovations in drive and automation technology. It’s also the perfect opportunity to exchange ideas, experiences and to discuss upcoming projects.

With the new STOBER Configurator, users have an online tool to intuitively build the right drive solution from STOBER’s extensive product range with just a few clicks. Technical information and drawings are readily available after quickly and easily configuring a product. Users can even request a quote with a simple click. The configurator is one of many projects in STOBER’s commitment to supporting customers with additional digital services.

Successful collaboration with Heinrich-Hertz-Schule in Karlsruhe:

In light of the motto “better safe than sorry,” last week, STOBER presented the new SE6 safety module at the SPS IPC Drives trade fair in Nuremberg.

Powerful new SE6 ‘advanced safety module’ from STOBER integrates into SD6 drive controller for drive integrated safety functionality.

STOBER jersey on, helmet on and on your bikes! That was the rallying call when the annual ‘STOBER in Motion’ mountain bike event rolled out for this year’s round. Organised for employees by employees, ‘STOBER in Motion’ is a mix of individual and team cycle races and 2018 was the 13th consecutive event.

New fully automatic robotic assembly plant to manufacture the LeanMotor built using all STOBER drive technology.

The 6th generation of STOBER drive controllers provide the right solution for the increasingly complex requirements and functions in automation technology and machine engineering. New to the range is the SC6 stand-alone device, which enables extremely compact and economical application designs with up to four axes thanks to its integrated power supply and narrow structure. Design engineers now have access to three series from STOBER which they can combine and, that way, implement any conceivable task and a wide variety of applications. In addition to the new SC6, this includes the SI6 multi-axis drive controller and the flexible, extremely versatile SD6.

The new LeanMotor took center stage for STOBER at this year’s SPS IPC Drives. “SPS IPC Drives is the most important trade show of the year for us,” explains Patrick Stöber. “It is a joy to present a world first this year and to see this much interest. We got visitors, customers and partners excited about our new development and had a lot of very interesting conversations.”

For engineers looking for a more cost-effective and better performing replacement for an AC motor but don’t require a high specification Servo Drive, the new Lean Motor from STOBER is the ideal solution.

STOBER is announced finalist for the Motion Control Industry Award 2017 in the category Technical Innovation of the Year for its synchronous servo motors with hollow bore.

Matthias Meyering, Head of Product Management Electronics: “Even more decisive than the sheer compactness of the SI6 is the omission of redundant supply units. The entire series of drive controllers is connected with a central supply module. The fuses and cabling for each individual axis are also dispensed with here. The drive controllers are connected with each other via Quick DC-Link modules. And by using double axis modules, unused power reserves of an axis can be used for other axes.”

STOBER wins the Best Practices Award 2016 for its powerful servomotors – having already earned the prize in 2014 with its PE planetary gear units and PS gearbox.

The Drive&Motion libs of STOBER are included for the efficient programming of a machine corresponding to IEC 61131-3.

Ideal preconditions for highly dynamic drive solutions: STOBER expands its motion controller program.

Despite the size of the hollow shaft, these motors offer an exceptional power density with their orthocyclically linear-wound motor coils. The use of the flange hollow shaft for direct connection to the load results in a completely backlash-free, differentiated and smooth drive behavior.
