Night-vision devices

Low light, clear view

Cats can easily spot their prey in the dark. This is thanks to the tapetum lucidum, a reflective layer in their eyes. Humans, on the other hand, need technical assistance to amplify residual light to likewise see well at night. Various technologies are available for this purpose. All of...

Laboratory analysis systems

Long-term application in medical lab diagnostics

Many standard recurring jobs in routine medical laboratory work are being performed through partial automation and additional manual work involving increased staffing levels, e.g. blood group determination or anti-body tests. Massive savings can be achieved by using state-of-the-art...

Kinetic sculpture in an active energy house

Relaxing chaos

Leaves rustling in the wind, clouds floating across the sky, waves rolling up and down. Evolution developed the human eye to notice this constant change in nature. The constant movement – unpredictable in its details and “chaotic” in the most beautiful sense – is apparently good for the...

Miniatur Wunderland

Life in all its facets

Visit the most diverse regions of the world in just a single day: explore Las Vegas, the Alps or the Norwegian fjords in only a few hours − it is possible in the Miniatur Wunderland. Located directly along the Elbe river in Hamburg's Speicherstadt (traditional warehouse district), it...

Robot Platform

Study Course Logistics: EduArt - Your Tutor 4.0

Industry 4.0 and Intralogistics 4.0 are changing the production environment long term. The need for autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) as well as the requirements on them are becoming more and more complex. In order to enable the industry to keep up...

Camera drive unit

Small cameras for big emotions

Fans want to get as close as possible and the media must deliver: a subtle twitch at the corner of the trainer's mouth, contentious fraction-of-an-inch decisions or once-in-a-lifetime events. In the competition to deliver the most spectacular images, cameras are ahead of the field,...

What are the health concerns when traveling to Mars?

Space is a hostile environment. This – in addition to the vast distances – makes manned space travel pretty difficult. Central problems include weightlessness and exposure to cosmic radiation. Anyone planning long-duration journeys through the universe needs to be aware of and fully...

Motorised exoskeleton

An idea strengthens the back of the world

It is neither fatal nor infectious but very diffi cult to manage and extremely expensive to society: the widespread medical disorder of chronic back pain. A motorised exoskeleton can provide relief to the especially vulnerable lumbar spine. French manufacturer Japet relies on FAULHABER,...

Point-of-care (PoC) analysis devices

A Head start saves lives

Anyone suffering from symptoms such as a cough, fever or headaches and muscle pains today tries to ascertain as quickly as possible whether they’ve been infected with corona, a cold or the flu. This is performed most easily using a swab. The sample can then be sent to a large-scale...

Thermal imaging cameras

Hotspot

The corona pandemic has clearly demonstrated to the whole world just what a highly contagious virus can do. Tourists and travellers have unintentionally contributed to the spread of the disease. Detecting infected persons on arrival at airports is key in preventing a potential chain of...

Spectrophotometer

DC Motors in Power Spectrophotometer

Scientists working in genomics and proteomics need results at the touch of a button so they can set about their real work – drug discovery, advanced diagnostics, and understanding the stuff of life. When DeNovix set out to develop a spectrophotometer for life-science analysis, they...

Portable Infusion Pump

DC-Motors from FAULHABER Drive High Efficiency Portable Infusion Pump

It was a challenging project from the start; field medics need to be fast on their feet. The Army wanted a pump that was battery operated, weighed less than a pound, and provided no electronic signature and minimal noise to inhibit detection. Meeting those requirements meant designing...

Surgical robot

Robotics | The next evolution in the operating room

After taking over industry, robots are now conquering the medical sciences. The advantages are obvious: absence of fatigue, maximum precision and speed, optimum ergonomics. Experts see their use as the next evolution in the treatment of patients. Already today, robot systems are used in...

Insulin pump

A pump that simplifies life with diabetes

Diabetes is among the most common diseases in today's societies. If the disease is not treated in time or if treated incorrectly, important organs, such as heart, eyes and kidneys, could suffer serious damage. Chronically ill patients can optimally control their treatment with an...

Micro motor for Laboratory automation

In-Vitro Veritas. High-speed diagnostics, automatically error-free.

Countless samples are tested daily in analytical laboratories. The benefits of automation in this area is obvious: They make it possible to achieve faster results, higher throughput, fewer errors and lower personnel costs. In order to ensure smooth operation, high dynamics and precision...

Myoelectric prosthesis

Innovation goes hand in hand

Tie shoelaces, fold bed linen, tear open a bag of crisps – the list of things that are difficult to do with one hand goes on and on. People with a congenital amputation or who have lost a hand due to an accident are confronted with such obstacles every day. To make daily life easier,...

Endodontics

Root Canal Treatement without Stress

Endodontics or endodontology is a specialist area of dentistry. The most common procedure is the root canal treatment that a tooth receives in the case of inflamed pulp (also known as the "dental nerve"). Many of you will have experienced this procedure at first hand: The dentist...

Comet probe "Rosetta Mission"

6.5 billion kilometers to the workplace

At the end of May 2014, the Rosetta space probe will swing into an orbit around the comet 67P/Churyumov‐Gerasimenko in order to, after more closely approaching it in August, map its surface and thus prepare for the landing of Philae. On 12th November 2014, this ballistic lander,...

Industrial robots

Evolution of Humanoid Robotics

Robots explore other planets, produce car parts and vacuum dust and are today almost omnipresent. They do not, however, usually look like the science fiction fan might imagine: they move around as a flat trolley on wheels or are permanently installed as bulky machines in industrial...
