REDEX
KRPX
KRPX is the new version of REDEX ANDANTEX rack & pinion high-tech planetary reducers. KRPX is a cost effective, easy to implement and high performing solution for moving column and gantry machine types. Made of two planetary reducers, KRPX allows perfect mounting on both sides of the machine frame. They are coupled with an electrical preload system enabling true zero backlash. This planetary reduction gear for rack and pinion applications offers exceptional rigidity characteristics, in particular through the one-piece output pinion technology invented by REDEX-ANDANTEX. It provides unrivalled radial rigidity (accounting for up to 60% of overall rigidity).

LEROY-SOMER
DYNEO® LSRPM Series
LSRPM is a series of permanent-magnet synchronous motors incorporating technology patented by Leroy-Somer. The innovative design of the magnet rotor increases efficiency by almost 10% to levels approaching 98%. The size reduction is of the order of 50%. This type of motor is intended for applications for which electricity consumption is high and continuous. This means that in a very large number of cases the time to return on investment for replacement of an asynchronous motor by LSRPM will be less than one year. As motors account for more than 70% of the electrical energy consumed in industry, the new LSRPM product line also contributes to the essential objectives of CO2 emission reduction.

Keyence France
Keyence vision systems speed up pharmaceutical product marking and improve its reliability
GlaxoSmithKline, wanting to improve the manufacturing processes at its Evreux factory, needed to upgrade the vision system for its high-throughput marking lines. The previous system required deactivation of automatic checking, forcing the factory to rely on inspection by the operators. The Keyence solution is showing itself to be not only reliable but also substantially less expensive than that of its competitors.
