Remote-Meetings A picture says more than a thousand words. When you are discussing requirements and drafts or working on projects, you need to come to an agreement on models and documents on a daily basis. If you would like to take part in a web meeting or telephone conference from more than one location, we can use our system to link you up. For web meetings, we use Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and all current web conferencing providers. You can reach us in the meeting rooms as follows: Large discussion room: +49 351 88585-11 Middle-sized discussion room: +49 351 88585-14 AV discussion room: +49 351 88585-93 Sales discussion room: +49 351 88585-97

Testing and Measuring

In addition to this, a large number of test stands were created for series testing, which, in addition to standard parameters, also test customer-specific values and pass special test scenarios. Further parameters such as speed variation, force measurement or specific movement sequences can be measured on agreement. Lifetime tests are carried out in a separate test room. The parameters of the positioning system are measured at the beginning of the test. Subsequently, these parameters are checked at fixed intervals over the expected lifetime. This procedure is continued until the planned end of the service life is reached.
