News from Horne Technologies:
At least 60 million strokes
Fourth Quarter 2024, Electrical switching & drive systems & components, Editor's Choice, Horne Technologies

Designing and constructing compact automation systems is one of the core activities of the Austrian machine manufacturer, STIWA. Its modular LTM-CI system has been optimised for small parts assembly. Linear and rotating micromotors from Faulhaber perform key tasks in these systems.

Perfect balance for every race
Third Quarter 2024, Electrical switching & drive systems & components, Editor's Choice, Horne Technologies

It goes without saying that success in Formula 1 requires a top driver. However, their chance of achieving a place on the podium depends on the car, which in turn depends on three essential factors: engine, tyres and aerodynamics. To find the optimum balance, the racing teams test models of their bolides in the wind tunnel. At Sauber, the adjustable components are moved on the model and in the test chamber using FAULHABER motors.

The world’s greatest model railway
Second Quarter 2024, Electrical switching & drive systems & components, Horne Technologies

Located in Hamburg’s traditional warehouse district, Speicherstadt features the largest model railway in the world, and is one of the most exciting tourist attractions in Germany.

Time follows function
Third Quarter 2023, Electrical switching & drive systems & components, Editor's Choice, Horne Technologies

What would a mechanical watch look like if it was reimagined and redeveloped from the bottom up? Master watchmaker Benoît Mintiens asked himself this question. He came up with a unique mechanism in the world of mechanical timepieces, a wristwatch that ‘sleeps’ when you take it off and wakes up when you put it back on, setting the correct time automatically.
